Yukon Aeromagnetic Data Reprocessing for NTS 116C, 2016-2017

Reprocessing of magnetic data for Yukon was performed between November 2016 and March 2017. Aeromagnetic data were compiled, merged, and levelled to produce derivative maps for each 250k-scale map sheet. The dataset includes four magnetic derivative maps provided as PDFs, GeoTIFFs, and Geosoft grid files by the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Mineral exploration targeting based on magnetic anomaly maps.
• Geological structure interpretation based on Reduced-to-Pole and derivative maps.
• Regional geophysical mapping and integration with other geological datasets.
• Creating base maps for geological reports and publications.

Strengths

• Data reprocessing was conducted over a defined period from November 2016 to March 2017.
• Includes four specific processed magnetic derivative products per map sheet.
• Data is provided in three standard geospatial formats: PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid.
• Colour ramps and legends are provided for each map to aid interpretation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific NTS 116C map sheet area.
