These three survey areas are informally referred to as the Five Spot survey in places in this publication. CGG's frequency-domain DIGHEM V system was used for the EM data. GPR 2014-3 includes (1) CGG's project report with interpretation and detailed EM Anomalies, and (2) Multi-channel stacked profiles in pdf format. Interpretation maps and EM anomalies are provided in various formats (e.g., Geotiffs, KMZs, and others) and are listed in detail in GPR2014-003 ReadMe (.txt and .pdf). Supporting files include GPR2014_003_ReadMe.txt, gpr2014_003_browsegraphic.pdf, and individual pdfs of some of the items in the browsegraphic file. Purpose: The survey was part of the Alaska Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory Program funded by the Alaska State Legislature and managed by State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS). The program seeks to catalyze private-sector mineral development investment. The program delineates mineral zones on Alaska state lands that: 1) have major economic value; 2) can be developed in the short term to provide high quality jobs for Alaska; and 3) will provide economic diversification to help offset the loss of Prudhoe Bay oil revenue. Supplemental_Information: The airborne data were acquired and processed under contract between the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), and Fugro GeoServices, Inc. Fugro Airborne Surveys (now CGG), the subcontractor, acquired and processed the data in 2012 and 2013. Ownership of Fugro Airborne Surveys was transferred to CGG Canada Services Ltd. during the course of this project. Data acquisition, processing, and the type of products were all the same for the three surveys blocks. This file 'gpr2014_003_readme.pdf' includes file names and definitions and much general information. Page-sized location figures and images of the data are provided in the gpr2014_003_browsegraphic.pdf file, and as pdfs on the DVD version and through each download. All data are provided in NAD27, UTM zone 4N, except for Google Earth KMZ files, which are in Geographic Coordinate System (Simple Cylindrical projection) with a WGS84 datum. The bounding coordinates for all three surveys are given below in the 'Spatial_Domain Section'. The bounding coordinates for each survey block is given here.

Rather than using the version released by DGGS in 2013 (GPR2013-1), CGG used the files already available to them to provide data for the interpretation, EM anomaly picks, multichannel-stacked profiles included on this publication. Process_Step: Process_Description: To determine the location of electromagnetic (EM) anomalies or their boundaries, the DIGHEM(V) EM system measured inphase and quadrature components. Two DIGHEM (V) EM systems were used on this project, one associated with an Aerospatiale AS350B2 helicopter and the other with an Aerospatiale AS350B3 helicopter. The EM systems measured inphase and quadrature components at five frequencies. The DIGHEM(V) BKS51 system, associated with the AS350B2 helicopter, used two vertical coaxial-coil pairs which operated at 1115 (1000) and 5482 (5500) Hz while three horizontal coplanar-coil pairs operated at 921 (900), 7279 (7200), and 56,320 (56,000) Hz. The DIGHEM(V) BKS54 system, associated with the AS350B3 helicopter, used two vertical coaxial-coil pairs which operated at 1115 (1000) and 5741 (5500) Hz while three horizontal coplanar-coil pairs operated at 884 (900), 7077 (7200), and 56,150 (56,000) Hz. Appropriate flights can be found if needed in the linedata published in GPR2013-1. The EM data were sampled at 0.1 second intervals and interpolated onto a regular 80m grid using a modified Akima (1970) technique. The EM system responds to bedrock conductors, conductive overburden, and cultural sources. The power line monitor and the flight track video were examined to locate cultural sources. The EM anomalies that are indicated are classified by conductance. EM Anomalies are identified by creating multi-parameter stacked profiles for all survey lines at a scale of 1:31,680. Anomaly grades range from 0 to 7 and are based on calculated conductance. See the Project Report (GPR2014-3-1_ProjectReport.pdf; Table 12: EM Anomaly Statistics) for more information. The grade 0 anomaly, denoted by an �X�, indicates that in-phase and quadrature levels are below set thresholds and will not give a reliable calculation of the conductivity. These anomalies are shown with an asterisk (*) in the EM legend on the 1:31,680 scale maps (GPR2014-3-2a through GPR2014-3-2h). Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: CGG, 2013 Process_Date: 2014 Process_Step: Process_Description: Ruth Pritchard, a CGG geophysicist, wrote the project report and the interpretation of the processed geophysical data. For the interpretation maps, Ruth used CGG's in-house copy of the linedata, gridded data, and multi-channel stacked profiles for interpretation of anomalous data, lineations, and potential faults. Geologic references used in this interpretation are cited on page 78 of the project report. Besides the multichannel stacked profiles, which are included in the present publication, the other data used for analysis are available to the public as DGGS publication GPR2013-1.

Vectors used on the interpretation maps were converted to GeoTIFFs and KMZs using CGG's specialized software. Process_Date: 2014 Process_Step: Process_Description: Three modified sections of the Alaska PLSS Section Grid (Bvr_SecGrid, Dish_SecGrid, and Fox_SecGrid), were taken from CGG's files. The files were also used in DGGS publication GPR2013-1; the process was documented there.
