Geological interpretation of aeromagnetic data

Southern Geoscience Consultants, West Perth, Australia

Magnetic survey coverage is rapidly expanding worldwide but our ability to assimilate these data into exploration programs is not keeping pace. This introductory workshop aims to enlighten participants on the strengths and weaknesses of aeromagnetic data and to illustrate how best they can be used to progress mapping and exploration programs.

This is an introductory workshop designed to inform attendees of the range of applications of aeromagnetic data and the key steps involved in the integration of aeromagnetic data with geology. Participants will be introduced to the concept of mapping geology and structure as expressed in the magnetic data to develop a lithostratigraphic interpretation.

Course Outline:

• The Spectrum of Aeromagnetic Applications
• Integration Methodology
• Case Histories from a Range of Terrains at a Range of Scales
