| Summary | Regional-scale long-period magnetotelluric (LPMT) surveys are becoming more common for understating the deep lithospheric structure of the Earth, for example the USArray magnetotelluric program, AusLAMP, and a new major LPMT experiment across the state of Western Australia: WA-MT. WA remains under-imaged in LPMT data, however, WA-MT aims to remedy this by collecting data from 1468 new locations across WA. These data and data products will be made publicly available for geological interpretation of the subsurface by explorers and researchers. Outcomes of this project include: (1) increased pre-competitive geoscience data for reducing exploration risk, (2) a world-leading dataset covering the WA state to attract resource investment, (3) a lithospheric architecture model complimenting the WA Array passive seismic and GSWA deep active seismic projects, and (4) complimentary statewide conductivity data products to statewide AusAEM data. This abstract is the first publication of new survey results from WA-MT, located over the Albany-Fraser Orogen and southeastern Yilgarn Craton of WA. |
