Defining sources and stores of salt at Billabong Ck, N.S.W

Analysis of airborne geophysical data suggests that Billabong Ck is a key area in understanding salt sources in the Murray Darling Basin. Borehole data indicates that airborne gamma-ray signatures can be used to model upland salt sources in covering sediments while the airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data defines these salt sources as well as salt pathways and accumulations in groundwater.
