About this survey

Forty broadband magnetotelluric soundings on an east-west traverse of about 224 km across the southern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, from 119.37 to 121.70 E near 32 S. They are the first of three campaigns of the Geological Survey of Western Australia's South Yilgarn MT survey, recorded in October 2009 by Moombarriga Geoscience and the University of Western Australia on Phoenix MTU-5A systems with MTC-50 coils and about 100 m dipoles laid to magnetic north, and processed with a remote reference. Every file carries impedance and tipper at 67 to 80 periods between 0.0031 s and 2941 s. GSWA Report 121 interprets the traverse. The 16 soundings of the 2010 and 2011 campaigns are not in the release. Every header prints the acquisition date 1 November 2009, after the field dates the report gives.
