About this survey

A broadband magnetotelluric survey was conducted across the Tumby Bay region of the lower Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, funded by the Geological Survey of South Australia through its PACE Copper program. The survey occupied 39 unique station locations along an approximately 80 km east-west profile at about 2 km spacing, with a continuously recording remote-reference station at the western end of the transect; initial acquisition in July 2018 encountered low natural electromagnetic source-field strength, and seven stations were re-occupied in November 2019 to improve data quality. Including the repeat occupations and the remote-reference station, the collection comprises 47 individual site deployments. Acquisition used LEMI-423 systems hosted by the University of Adelaide through the AuScope ANSIR Research Facility for Earth Sounding, supported under the Australian Government's NCRIS. This package carries the 36 released EDI transfer function files.
