About this survey

Fifty broadband magnetotelluric soundings on two orthogonal profiles across the west Musgrave Province of Western Australia, commissioned by the Geological Survey of Western Australia, acquired under contract in 2011 by Moombarriga Geoscience, and interpreted in GSWA Report 114. The profiles cross near Blackstone on the Ngaanyatjarra Lands: one runs 166 km north to south, the other 115 km east to west, and their bearings differ by 92 degrees. Every file declares Ex, Ey, Hx, Hy and Hz against a remote pair, and 42 of the 50 carry a tipper. The folder holds two renditions of one campaign at interleaved sites: 24 stations merge broadband with long period on a shared 80 period grid reaching 2941 s, and 26 are broadband only, 26 to 38 periods reaching 131 to 1049 s. The served files are a 2026 Geotools export and no source names the processor.
