Improving airborne electromagnetic surveying for minerals and groundwater

由于地表水的可获得性很低，地下水在澳大利亚的许多地区都是至关重要的，而澳大利亚的大部分矿产资源都被导电覆盖物掩盖了。航空测量是绘制大范围矿物和水地图的关键。该项目旨在通过开发先进的新型飞机发射器和接收器来提高机载电磁测量技术的分辨率。该项目希望能够更准确地绘制复杂的地下水结构图，并增加可以探测到导电矿体的深度。预期结果包括发现新的经济矿物和水资源。这应该会给采矿业和农业带来巨大的好处。

Groundwater is vital in many parts of Australia due to low surface water availability while much of Australia’s mineral wealth is obscured by conductive cover. Airborne surveys are key to mapping minerals and water over large areas. This project aims to enhance the resolution of airborne electromagnetic surveying technology by developing advanced new aircraft transmitters and receivers. The project expects to enable complex groundwater structures to be mapped more accurately and increase the depth to which conductive ore bodies can be detected. Expected outcomes include the discovery of new economic mineral and water resources. This should provide significant benefits to the mining and agricultural industries.
