DP ME 113, Version 2, 2006. Airborne VLF-EM Orthogonal Total Field Images Collectively Covering Parts of NTS Sheets 11E/05, 11E/06, 11E/07, 11E/10, 11E/11, 11E/12, 21H/07, 21H/08, 21H/09 and 21H/10, TGI-2 Project, Cobequid Highlands, Nova Scotia

Abstract

This data set consists of one TIFF image, one JPEG image, and 9 PDF Open File Maps of airborne VLF-EM ortho total field data covering most of the Cobequid Highlands in northern Nova Scotia and part of the TGI-2 project area.

Airborne geophysical data used to generate these images were supplied by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) - Geophysical Data Centre, 615 Booth St., Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0E9. This high-resolution VLF-EM data was digitally acquired as part of the Parrsboro Survey (GSC Project #189).

The data used to produce this image is the de-corrugated measured total field response using the "Orthogonal" transmitter. The "Orthogonal" transmitter for GSC Project #189 is Cutler, Maine. Total field VLF-EM data provide a measure of the internal electrical character (i. e. resistivity / conductivity) of the underlying Quaternary and bedrock geology.
