Australia’s continental scale AEM programme: The world’s largest airborne electromagnetic survey

AusAEM, the largest survey of its kind, adds yet another layer of continental-scale geophysical data coverage in Australia. By revealing possible undercover minerals and groundwater, it paves the way for innovation and sustainable development. The Australian wide airborne electromagnetic programme AusAEM stands as the largest survey of its kind aiming to cover the Australian continent at approximately 20 km line-spacing. It is transforming resource exploration, unveiling potential minerals and groundwater. The open-access nature of AusAEM data and the modelling codes developed around it encourages collaboration between governments, industry, and academia, fostering a community focused on advancing geoscientific research and exploration. Overall, the AusAEM program is an asset that can drive economic growth, support sustainable resource management, and enhance scientific understanding of Australia’s geological landscape.
