Residual Total Magnetic Field Survey of Dawson Area, Yukon, 2014

An aeromagnetic survey flown from February 17 to March 21, 2014, using two Piper Navajo aircraft equipped with cesium vapour magnetometers. The survey covered parts of the Dawson area in Yukon, Canada, with a nominal terrain clearance of 125 meters. Data collection was conducted by Goldak Airborne Surveys for the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on magnetic field variations.
• Identify potential mineral deposits using magnetic anomaly patterns.
• Integrate magnetic data with other geophysical surveys for regional geological modeling.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over a defined period from February 17 to March 21, 2014.
• Data collected with specific technical parameters: 125 m terrain clearance and 400 m traverse line spacing.
• Original data provider (Goldak Airborne Surveys) and commissioning organization (Government of Yukon) are identified.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific survey area.
