Fugro Airborne Surveys' frequency-domain DIGHEM V system was used for the EM data. GPR 2011-4 includes (1) Fugro's project report with interpretation and detailed EM Anomalies in tabular format, (2) Multi-channel stacked profiles in pdf format, and (3) interpretation and em anomalies are each provided as Geotiffs and maps. The document gpr2011_004_readme (.txt and .pdf) lists all files included in this publication. Other supporting files include gpr2011-4_browsegraphic.pdf, gpr2011-4_emanomaly_readme.pdf. The airborne data were acquired and processed under contract between the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological &amp; Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), and Fugro GeoServices, Inc. Fugro Airborne Surveys, the subcontractor, acquired and processed the data in 2010 and 2011.</abstract>\n<purpose>The survey was 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 &amp; Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The project seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. The project delineates mineral zones on 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.</purpose>\n<supplinf>\n&gt;geotiffs - Images on the interpretation maps and the EM anomaly map are provided as separate GeoTiff files.\n&gt;maps_hpgl2 - hpgl2 format (.prn) maps.

The EM system measured inphase and quadrature components at five frequencies. Two vertical coaxial-coil pairs operated at nominal frequencies of 1000 and 5500 Hz while three horizontal coplanar-coil pairs operated at 900, 7200, and 56,000 Hz. Actual frequencies for the four EM systems used in the Iditarod project report in this publication (GPR2011-4-4_ProjectReport.pdf; page 3.1). The EM data were sampled at 0.1 second intervals and interpolated onto a regular 80m grid using a modified Akima (1970) technique. The EM system responds to bedrock conductors, conductive overburden, and cultural sources. The power line monitor and the flight track video were examined to locate cultural sources. The EM anomalies that are indicated are classified by conductance. EM Anomalies are identified by creating multi-parameter stacked profiles for all survey lines at a scale of 1:31,680. Anomaly grades range from 0 to 7 and are based on calculated conductance. The grade 0 anomaly, denoted by an \"X\", indicates that in-phase and quadrature levels are below set thresholds and will not give a reliable calculation of the conductivity.  These anomalies are shown with an asterisk (*) in the EM legend on the 1:31,680 scale maps (GPR2011-4-1a through GPR2011-4-2f). See Section 5 of the Project Report in this publication for more information. A copy of the original Iditarod survey and other associated files are stored at the Fugro Airborne Survey office.
