Aeromagnetic surveys play an important role in regional geologic mapping, as well as during the earlier stages of exploration and assessment of natural resources (García-Abdeslem and Calmus, 2019).Aeromagnetic surveys have the advantages of being fast, efficient, and less affected by the geographical environment …
ادامه مطلبJingping, Yunnan, China, is an unfriendly area for ground survey due to the high altitude, rough terrain and dense vegetation. To detect the concealed magnetite ore bodies in this area, the aeromagnetic survey in a 7.8 km 2 region was carried out. The field experiments were conducted to investigate the source and level of the noise.
