New land-bathymetry and land-lake surface elevation models were produced for the Lake Superior region. The models combine Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) topography data with lake surface elevation and bathymetry data sets for Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron. The SRTM data set was chosen because it spans the international border and has relatively high resolution at 30 m cell size. These data were subsequently used for aeromagnetic data processing and gravity data reduction.
New gravity compilation has been compiled for the Lake Superior region. The gravity compilation includes survey stations available from Natural Resources Canada, National Centers for Environmental Information (formerly National Geophysical Data Center), Minnesota Geological Survey, and U.S. Geological Survey. Individual databases were combined and duplicates were removed resulting in a database of 63,880 gravity stations. The gravity station data were reprocessed from observed gravity to simple Bouguer anomaly following standard methods that depend on the station type (for example, land, lake surface, or lake bottom observation) and used a reduction density of 2,670 kg/m3. The compilation provides a consistent dataset...
New gravity and magnetic compilations and elevation-bathymetry models have been compiled for the Lake Superior region. These data provide continuous sets of observations for geologic interpretations spanning political boundaries such as US States and the US-Canada border where bedrock geology is largely concealed beneath glacial deposits and surface water. These data are providing constraints for on-going 3D geologic modeling of the Midcontinent Rift System and are helping to understand the metallogeny of the region.
New aeromagnetic compilations have been produced for the Lake Superior region. The compilations combine previously published aeromagnetic survey data and compilations available from the Minnesota Geological Survey, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, Natural Resources Canada, and U.S. Geological Survey (see MagneticSurveys.pdf). Two compilations were produced which differ in their theoretical observation height. The compilation at 150 m height maintains anomaly shape over geologic features on land; whereas the compilation at 300 m height better maintains anomaly shape for sources observed over Lake Superior and would be preferred for modeling...
