Radiometric data collected as part of a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the southwest portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt in southwestern Colorado are provided as digital flight-line and grid files. Radiometric (or gamma-ray) surveys measure naturally occurring low-level radiation and are sensitive to the presence of rocks within 30 cm of the surface that are enriched in uranium, thorium, or potassium. Data for this survey were acquired by NV5 Geospatial, Inc. and its sub-contractors Precision GeoSurveys, Inc. and EDCON-PRJ, Inc under contract with the USGS. The survey was flown in September and October of 2023 using a helicopter equipped with a gamma-ray spectrometer stowed onboard....

Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during March and April 2023 over a distance of 9,000 line kilometers in east central Alabama. Data were acquired by SkyTEM Canada Inc. with the SkyTEM 306HPM time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system together with a Geometrics G822A cesium vapor magnetometer. The survey was acquired at a nominal flight height of 35 - 45 m above terrain along parallel flight lines oriented northwest-southeast with nominal line spacing of 500 m, 1000 m, and 4000 m.

This data release provides digital flight-line and gridded data for a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the southwestern portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt, southwestern Colorado. The Colorado Mineral Belt is a broad, northeast-southwest trending alignment of historic mining districts that have produced multiple types of commodities, including critical minerals that are vital to the Nation's security and economy. The survey was acquired as part of the UGSS Earth Mapping Resource Initiative (Earth MRI) to improve our understanding of the fundamental geologic framework underpinning the Colorado Mineral Belt. This release covers the southwestern portion of the belt (southwest block), which...

Magnetic data collected as part of a high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the southwest portion of the Colorado Mineral Belt in southwestern Colorado are provided as digital flight-line and grid files. Magnetic surveys measure subtle variations in the Earth’s magnetic field and are sensitive to differences in the magnetic properties of rocks from ground level to many kilometers below. Data for this survey were acquired by NV5 Geospatial, Inc. and is sub-contractors Precision GeoSurveys, Inc. and EDCON-PRJ, Inc under contract with the USGS. The survey was flown by helicopter in September and October of 2023. Magnetic data were measured from a magnetometer mounted in a stinger extending from...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
