Geophysical interpretation in the Goren region, Burkina Faso, Africa

This study is part of a larger survey flown as part of a project of the United Nation Development Program (UNDP) in Burkina Faso. A combined aeromagnetic and time-domain electromagnetic survey (GEOTEM) was flown by CGG-GEOTERREX. The survey covers an area of 372 000 km2; a similar survey adjacent to the first one was later done for the Mining Bureau of Burkina Faso (BUMIGEB). After delivery of the raw data and the preliminary maps, ground follow up and geophysical modelling were carried out. It soon became clear that it was necessary to develop new interpretation techniques. Using the geophysical data acquired in Goren, new data processing and interpretation techniques have also been used to increase the benefits of the airborne survey.
