Description

The 2019 Newer Volcanic Province Broadband Magnetotelluric Survey was a temporary field campaign conducted across the Newer Volcanic Province of western Victoria and south-eastern South Australia to investigate the three-dimensional electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper lithosphere. Broadband magnetotelluric measurements were acquired to support studies of lithospheric architecture, mantle processes, volcanic evolution, and regional tectonic structure.

The survey was undertaken during August 2019 and comprised 54 broadband magnetotelluric stations distributed across the survey region. Survey sites were deployed on an approximately 25 km grid to infill and enhance existing regional magnetotelluric coverage from the AusLAMP program and earlier state-based surveys. A continuously recording remote-reference station was operated within South Australia for the duration of the survey.

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