Description

The 2017-2018 Burra Broadband Magnetotelluric Survey was a temporary field campaign conducted across the Burra region of the Northern Mount Lofty Ranges within the Adelaide Rift Complex, South Australia, to investigate the electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper lithosphere. Broadband magnetotelluric measurements were acquired to support studies of regional tectonic architecture, lithospheric structure, and mineral systems.

The survey comprised 82 broadband magnetotelluric stations deployed across the survey region during October 2017 and July-October 2018, with an average station spacing of approximately 10 km.

Data were acquired using Adelaide University LEMI-423 broadband magnetotelluric systems accessed through the AuScope - ANSIR Research Facilities for Earth Sounding.
