The Gawler Craton Airborne Survey will capture approximately 1,800,000 line kilometres of magnetic, radiometric and digital elevation geophysical data over an area of approximately 324,000 square kilometres. This project is being undertaken in partnership with Geoscience Australia (a Division of the Commonwealth Department of Innovation and Science) under the National Collaboration Framework promoting State-Federal precompetitive geoscientific collaborative programs.

Grids interpolated from geo-located survey data are supplied in high precision 32 or 64 bit ERS format, processed to support data analytics.
ESRI layer files are provided for rendered display of ERS grids in ArcGIS.
Images derived from the ERS format grids are provided in 3 band, 8 bit Geotiff format, to support display and illustration.

      In terms of product deliverables provided by the survey contractor, the aeromagnetic data include TMI, TMI reduced-to-pole, and 1VD of RTP TMI; the elevation data include models derived from radar altimeter and laser altimeter, subtracted from differential GPS heights; and the spectrometer data include dose rate, uranium, thorium, potassium and ternary (RGB) radiometric datasets. These digital data have been stored by the clients as either located XYZ data (ascii) or Grid Exchange Format (GXF) data presented via ERMapper grids or tif images. All data have been quality controlled by the Geological Survey of South Australia. The original data were located using GPS navigation. GPS measurement units are accurate to less than 10 m. Radiometric data have been processed using the Noise Adjusted Singular Value Decomposition (NASVD) method. Usage limitations: Grid data have been gridded at one fifth of line spacing, and interpretations should not be made at scales less than this. 
      
      Geotiff image(s) were derived from the ERS grid(s) by rendering the ERS grid with a non-linear colour stretch and sun-shading (45 degree azimuth and sun direction), before exporting to the tif image format.
