• Airborne Interpretation and Data Release

Airborne Geophysics Data

Since 1995 low level high resolution geophysical surveys have been flown over 59 areas by various companies under the EMD open skies policy. Some 35% of the country, largely prospective Lower Carboniferous terrain, has been covered. All data is lodged with EMD, and once the 4 year confidentiality period has expired is being made progressively available to the public. The first survey was released in June 2001, and to date over 75% of the coverage has been made available free on CD. Each release includes digital databases, grids and maps. Additional maps generated by EMD are also included.

Digital reports for several surveys are available below. For a complete list of whats available please contact us.
