A technical report compares Aerochem airborne sampling with conventional hand-sampling for stream sediment geochemistry. The comparison test was performed in August 2015 in the Kluane area of Yukon, with three samples collected from each of 68 sites. Digital appendices include maps, assay results, principal component analysis, certificates, a project log, and photos.
Use Cases
- Compare geochemical assay results from airborne and hand-sampling techniques based on the assay results comparisons
- Analyze spatial patterns of mineral indicators based on the 1:35,000 scale maps
- Identify principal components influencing sediment chemistry based on the principal component analysis
- Verify laboratory analysis quality based on the certificates of analysis
Strengths
- Direct comparison of two sampling methods at 68 sites
- Includes multiple digital appendices for comprehensive analysis (maps, assays, PCA, certificates, log, photos)
- Data collected in August 2015 in a specific geographic area (Kluane, Yukon)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
