DP ME 123, Version 2, 2006. Airborne VLF-EM Line Total Field Images Collectively Covering Parts of NTS Sheets 11E/02 and 11E/07, TGI-2 Project, Central Nova Scotia

Abstract

This data set consists of one TIFF, one JPEG image, and one PDF Open File Map (2005-101) of airborne VLF-EM line total field data covering an area in central Nova Scotia which is part St. Marys Basin TGI-2 project.

This digital product was derived from data collected by the Geological Survey of Canada (Survey# 184). For these images only the levelled and de-corrugated Line (Tx: Annapolis, Md) total field data was used.The 24-bit colour images were produced with 10m pixel sizes. Shading was from the southeast at 35 degrees above the horizon. For complete details an Open File Report will be forthcoming from M. S. King later in 2004.

The images were produced by contractor M. S. King using funds provided under the Natural Resources Canada and Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources joint project 'Mapping, Mineral and Energy Resource Evaluation, Central Nova Scotia', part of Natural Resources Canada's Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-2) 2003-2005.
