Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) and magnetic survey data were collected during March and April 2023 over a distance of 9,000 line kilometers in east central Alabama. Data were acquired by SkyTEM Canada Inc. with the SkyTEM 306HPM time-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetic system together with a Geometrics G822A cesium vapor magnetometer. The survey was acquired at a nominal flight height of 35 - 45 m above terrain along parallel flight lines oriented northwest-southeast with nominal line spacing of 500 m, 1000 m, and 4000 m.
