Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. These line dataset from the GA302 Capel and Faust Basins MSS survey were acquired in 2006 for Geoscience Australia. This survey acquired a range of pre-competitive geological and geophysical data that included seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic and swath bathymetry measurements, as well as seafloor dredge samples. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[157.0, -31.0], [164.9, -31.0], [164.9, -24.0], [157.0, -24.0], [157.0, -31.0]]]} 157.0 164.9 -31.0 -24.0 Capel and Faust EARTH SCIENCES GA302 GEOPHYSICS Magnetism and Palaeomagnetism Published_External line magnetic marine shipborne vector Download the data [28.7 MB] documentDigital Download the data [28.7 MB] application/x-netcdf
