BGR conducted an airborne survey in the region of the Stassfurt-Egeln salt anticline as part of a BMBF research project "Dynamic processes in flooded or abandoned salt mines and their overburden”. The survey area Stassfurt (2007) is bounded by the towns and settlements Aschersleben, Kroppenstedt, Hadmersleben, Altenweddingen, Atzendorf, Förderstedt and Bernburg. The size of the area is about 467 km². The area was surveyed with 29 flights totalling 5034 line-km (132,390 survey points). The nominal separation of the 155 SE-NW lines and 33 NE-SW tie lines was 100 m and 1000 m, respectively. The maps display the total count, the (equivalent) content of potassium, uranium and thorium as well as the exposure rate at ground.
