Optimizing the use of aeromagnetic data for predictive geological interpretation: an example from the Grenville Province, Quebec

Predictive geological mapping relies largely on the empirical and statistical analysis of aeromagnetic data. However, in most applications the analysis remains essentially visual and unconstrained. The lithological and structural diversity of rock units underlying the Mingan Region make it an ideal test area to apply more rigorous approaches to magnetic data processing and interpretation, and to assess their usefulness and limitations. In the …
