| Session Description | In this session, we invite studies on theory, instrumentation, processing, modeling or inversion and applications of airborne surveys. Airborne surveys are valuable techniques for understanding the whole and/or detailed subsurface structures of the Earth. These surveys can help obtain large amounts of data in short observation times, and they can be conducted in inaccessible areas (e.g., polar region, mountains area, sea-land boundary area, and others). In recent years, many technical innovations have enabled us to realize high-accuracy and high-resolution observations and to monitor the changes in the subsurface structures over time. In addition, accurate and unique instruments for airborne surveys have been developed across the world. For future innovations in airborne surveying, we introduce surveys and survey techniques that are used in the Asian region at present and we discuss these herein. |
