Calgary-Lethbridge Corridor Geophysical Survey: Compilation of Airborne AeroTEM System Electromagnetic and Magnetic Survey Data (digital data, various formats)

This is a digital data release of airborne time domain electromagnetic (AeroTEM) data from a survey performed by Aeroquest Airborne in an area east and south of Calgary and north of Lethbridge, Alberta from February 8 to March 13, 2011. The total survey coverage was 18,645 square kilometres, consisting of 28,229 line-km in a single block flown in a 163/343 degree direction using a flight line spacing of 750 m and tie-lines at 7500 m spacing.

The AeroTEM study digital deliverables include the following data:
- full waveform streaming raw data from the Mike and November helicopter-borne AeroTEM III systems
- a final database of geophysical profile data in Geosoft database format (.GDB),
- a Google Earth .kmz file containing resistivity depth slices and flight navigation lines,
- Geosoft Grid files (.GRD) of the resistivity depth slices, used to generate the geophysical map images,
- maps of the resistivity depth slices and flight lines in Geosoft (.MAP) and Adobe (.PDF) formats,
- sample EM reference waveforms for each flight in .xls format, and 
- a survey report in .pdf format.

In 2007 the Alberta Geological Survey (AGS), in partnership with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (ESRD), initiated a multi-year project to characterize nonsaline aquifers within the province of Alberta, the Provincial Groundwater Inventory Program. Aeroquest Airborne carried out a geophysical survey of the Calgary-Lethbridge corridor area in southern Alberta using two helicopter borne AeroTEM III systems (named Mike and November). The survey was funded by ESRD.
