Howard East Region, Northern Territory, AEM SkyTEM® airborne electromagnetic data

This package contains airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data from the "SkyTEM helicopter EM Howard East region" survey which was flown over Howard East region, Northern Territory during July - August 2017. The area is comprised of 2073.6 line kilometres in total.The aim of the survey is to provide at a reconnaissance scale:a) trends in regolith thickness and variabilityb) variations in bedrock conductivityc) conductivity of key bedrock (lithology related) conductive units under coverd) the groundwater resource potential of the regionThis report lists the SkyTEM system information and specifications relevant for this survey, and describes the processing carried out on the data.Geoscience Australia commissioned the survey as part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program. The EFTF program is led by Geoscience Australia (GA), in collaboration with the Geological Surveys of the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, and is investigating the potential mineral, energy and groundwater resources in northern Australia and South Australia. The EFTF is a four-year $100.5 million investment by the Australian Government in driving the next generation of resource discoveries in northern Australia, boosting economic development across this region (https://www.ga.gov.au/eftf).
