Description
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 maps are provided as PDFs, GeoTIFFs, and Geosoft grid files by the Government of Yukon.
Use Cases
Mineral exploration targeting based on magnetic anomaly patterns.
Geological mapping and structural interpretation based on Reduced-to-Pole Magnetic Field maps.
Subsurface feature analysis using the First Vertical Derivative of the RTP field.
Edge detection of magnetic sources using the Tilt Derivative of the RTP field.
Strengths
Data was reprocessed and levelled across map sheets for consistency.
Four distinct magnetic derivative maps are provided for each 250k-scale map.
Data is available in three standard geospatial formats: PDF, GeoTIFF, and Geosoft grid.
Limitations
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Provenance
Source
Government of Yukon | Gouvernement du Yukon
Collection Method
Aeromagnetic data were compiled, data of different resolutions were merged, and a series of images individually levelled for each map sheet were produced.
Time Range
Reprocessing performed between November 2016 and March 2017.
