Geological and Cover Thickness Mapping Using Airborne Electromagnetic Data in an UNCOVER Application

Abstract

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data are an immensely useful tool for mapping cover thickness and under cover geology in Australia. The regional AEM surveys conducted by Geoscience Australia (GA) and other agencies are an ideal starting point for integrating legacy AEM datasets across a range of scales with other information, e.g. borehole stratigraphy and shallow seismic data, as part of a national cover thickness map. Geoscience Australia is working towards this end as part of the UNCOVER Initiative.
