Yukon Aeromagnetic Data Reprocessing for NTS 116K, 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 is provided by the Government of Yukon and includes maps in PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid formats.

Use Cases

• Geological interpretation based on the Residual Total Magnetic Field maps.
• Mineral exploration targeting using the Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field (RTP) maps.
• Edge detection of magnetic sources based on the First Vertical Derivative of the RTP maps.
• Structural analysis using the Tilt Derivative of the RTP maps.

Strengths

• Data processing was conducted over a defined period from November 2016 to March 2017.
• Four specific magnetic derivative products were generated for each map sheet.
• Data is provided in three standard geospatial formats: PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
