Airborne gravity gradiometry (AGG) has become a well-established tool throughout the world in exploration for minerals, hydrocarbons, geothermal energy and other commodities. There is expectation that there will be increased acquisition of AGG data in the coming years as the method provides rapid coverage of large areas with minimal need for land access when compared with land-based gravity surveys.   The volume of AGG data being acquired is expected to increase. Therefore, it is important that standard AGG survey quality control metrics be made publicly available. We present a series of metrics developed within Geoscience Australia which form the basis of Geoscience Australia’s Airborne Gravity Gradiometry Technical Specifications. The availability of standard AGG survey quality control metrics will allow data to be readily assessed and providing consistency across surveys and systems.

Presented at the 2025 Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference (AEGC)
