| Research Abstract |
Aeromagnetic survey by small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) was carried out at Bransfield Basin, Antarctica. The magnetic anomaly was obtained from the northern half of Deception Island. That was the first successful venture of this kind, demonstrating that airborne surveys by UAV are useful for Antarctic research investigations. Airborne surveys provide a safe and economical approach to data acquisition. Study of rock magnetism, geochronology and magnetic survey was conducted at King George Island. The results showed that Bransfield Basin was formed with a typical characteristic of geological structures of back-arc basin.
