Helicopter-borne Magnetics CASE12

As part of the CASE 12 expedition, geological fieldwork and an aeromagnetic survey were conducted on Ellesmere Island (Canadian Arctic) in the summer of 2011. The helicopter-borne magnetic survey covered the ice-free areas between Vendom Fiord and Strathcona Fiord in the west and the ice-covered mountain ranges of the Inglefield Uplift in the east. With a total flight time of approx. 35 hours, 4200 line kilometres were flown covering a total area of 6000 km². The distance between the individual lines was 2 km, and control profiles perpendicular to the individual lines were flown every 10 km. The aeromagnetic data were recorded by a magnetometer, which was towed approx. 30 m beneath the helicopter.
