Strengths |
should provide understanding of the upper bedrock in Horne Basin area which is framework for understanding groundwater. Boreholes used to validate aeromag data may be used as observation wells. Partnership possible with people capable of running LIDAR surveys would also be beneficial (Olaf Nieman (UVic); Martin Geertsma (FLNRO)) in better understanding. |
Limitations |
|
Challenges |
|
Outstanding Research Questions |
Where are the aquifers located in the Horne River Basin area? Will areomag surveys parse out sedimants overlying the top of bedrock? Are there paeo-channels in the Horne Basin? |
