Summary
NGU conducted an airborne geophysical survey in Røros, Trøndelag county as part of
NGU’s general airborne mapping program in 2020.
This report describes and documents the acquisition, processing and visualization of the
acquired datasets and presents them in maps. The geophysical surveys consist of 2584 linekm data, covering an area of 523 km2 flown between June 15th to June 22nd, 2020.
The NGU modified Geotech Ltd. Hummingbird frequency domain EM system supplemented
by an optically pumped Cesium magnetometer and the Radiation Solutions 1024 channels
RSX-5 spectrometer mounted on a AS350-B3 helicopter was used for data acquisition.
The survey was flown with 200 meters line spacing, azimuth 90o
. Average speed was
95 km/h, and average height clearance of the EM bird was 47 m and 77 m for the
spectrometer.
Collected data were processed at NGU using Geosoft Oasis Montaj software. Raw total
magnetic field data were corrected for diurnal variation and levelled using standard levelling
algorithm. Radiometric data were processed using standard procedures recommended by the
International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA).
EM data were filtered and levelled using both automated and manual levelling procedures.
Apparent resistivity was calculated from in-phase and quadrature data for three coplanar
frequencies (880 Hz, 6.6 kHz and 34 kHz), and for two coaxial frequencies (980 Hz and 7 kHz)
separately using a homogeneous half space starting model of 1000 ohm-m.
All data were gridded using cell size of 50x50 meters. Magnetic and radiometric data is
presented as 40% transparent grids with shaded relief on top of topographic maps. EM data is
presented as 30% transparent grids on top of topographic maps.
