Full description

Long-period magnetotelluric time series data that measure natural magnetic and electric field variations at Earth’s surface were collected at various locations throughout Maralinga and the Far West Coast region of South Australia. This time series dataset was collected as a part of the national Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP), a decade-long national MT survey jointly coordinated between government and research organisations through the collaboration of AuScope, Geoscience Australia (GA), state and territory geoscience agencies, universities and other research organisations. The AusLAMP project in South Australia was a collaboration between Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA), the University of Adelaide, Geoscience Australia and AuScope. This record describes a collection of Level 0 magnetotelluric time series data products from Maralinga and the Far West Coast, South Australia.

The Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP) project in South Australia was a collaboration between Geological Survey of South Australia (GSSA), the University of Adelaide, Geoscience Australia, AuScope and the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) (https://www.ga.gov.au/about/projects/resources/auslamp).

The raw survey data was collected as part of the 'AusLAMP: Illuminating the Deep Earth project' and 'The South Australian Government PACE Initiative' and used AuScope-funded instruments. The survey was supported by the Department of State Development (DSD) - Government of South Australia and the Commonwealth of Australia represented by Geoscience Australia.

The Modernising Earth Science Data for High Performance Computing project was enabled by AuScope, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI Australia) and the Australian Government via the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS): http://auscope.org.au
