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.
