Summary
The Livengood electromagnetic and magnetic airborne geophysical survey data were acquired with a DIGHEM-V Electromagnetic (EM) system and a cesium magnetometer. The EM and magnetic sensors were flown at a height of 30 meters (m). In addition the survey recorded data from radar and laser altimeters, a GPS navigation system, 50/60 Hz monitors and a video camera. Flights were performed with an AS-350-B2 Squirrel helicopter at a mean terrain clearance of 60 m along N-S survey flight lines with a spacing of 400 m. Tie lines were flown perpendicular to the flight lines at intervals of approximately 4,800 m

DGGS geophysics datasets are typically compilations of multiple digital data file formats. These formats may include: GeoTiff, ESRI shapefile, Geosoft binary grid (GRD), Microsoft Office documents, PDF, ER Mapper ERS, ASCII text files (including CSV), Geosoft ASCII grid (GXF), Geosoft database, AutoCAD DXF, Geosoft plot file (PLT), Printer files (HPP, PRN, or other), digital images (multiple formats), digital video (multiple formats), Geosoft ASCII XYZ, Geosoft ASCII files (PLY, i0, EXP), and KMZ
The 1998 Livengood airborne electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical survey and this compilation are part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory project funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The project seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. Alaska State lands that: 1) have major economic value; 2) can be developed in the short term to provide high quality jobs for Alaska; and 3) will provide economic diversification to help offset the loss of Prudhoe Bay oil revenue. This purpose for this publication is to compile and upgrade key digital data into a single publication for online data distribution.
