Geologic Applications of Modern Aeromagnetic Surveys

摘要

A workshop entitled 'Geologic Applications of Modern Aeromagnetic Surveys,'sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey, was conducted January 6-8, 1987, at the Sheraton Hotel Conference Center, Lakewood, Colo. The proceedings volume on the magnetic technique is one of three such workshop volumes documenting the value of and the need for a national aerogeophysical program. The motivation for the workshop was based on the strong commitment of the U.S. Geological Survey to develop knowledge about efficient techniques for assessing mineral, fuel, and ground-water resources as well as geologic hazards. Some of the most efficient of these techniques are those which utilize airborne systems because of speed of coverage and almost unlimited accessibility. The subject workshop focused on a technique that has a proven track record and that has been extensively developed, utilized, and promoted by the U.S. Geological Survey over a 45-year period: aeromagnetic surveying. Many advances have been made since the original implementation of aeromagnetic surveys, some of which relate to development of new instrumentation and others of which relate to the formulation of new concepts that bear on data acquisition, processing, interpretation, and display.
