Interpreting aeromagnetic data in areas of limited outcrop

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Interpretation of aeromagnetic data in areas of limited outcrop requires the use of all relevant data enhancement techniques for accurate positioning of geological boundaries and magnetic sources. Where no outcrop calibration exists, magnetic sources must be characterised by physical adjectives relating to their form, depth and relative magnetisation. The final stage of the interpretation process is to apply geological reasoning, in the context of the area being interpreted, to deduce the rock types causing the magnetic responses and the structural relationships of the lithological units.
