Residual Total Magnetic Field, Aeromagnetic Survey of Nisling River Area, Yukon

Between January 25th and March 26th, 2011, Goldak Airborne Surveys collected 37,999 line kilometres of high-resolution magnetic data for the Geological Survey of Canada. The survey covered the Nisling River area in Yukon, using cesium vapour magnetometers and differential GPS. Traverse lines were flown at a 400 m spacing with a nominal terrain clearance of 100 m.

Use Cases

• Model subsurface geological structures based on high-resolution magnetic field data.
• Support mineral exploration targeting based on magnetic anomaly patterns.
• Conduct geophysical research based on the survey's specified 400 m line spacing and 100 m terrain clearance.
• Perform regional geological mapping based on the processed residual total magnetic field.

Strengths

• 37,999 line kilometres of high-resolution magnetic data collected.
• Survey conducted with high-sensitivity equipment including three cesium vapour magnetometers.
• Specific flight parameters defined: 400 m traverse line spacing and 100 m nominal terrain clearance.

Limitations

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