SLAR reconnaissance, Mimika-Eilanden Basin, Southern Trough of Irian JayaThe SLAR was obtained in early April 1973 by means of an AN/APQ-97 K-band brute-force system. The flight strips are all north-look, with ground-range display, and 60% overlap. The interpretation was compiled on a 1/100,000-scale mosaic, but the actual mapping of contacts, dips, lineaments, and the like, was done on 1/100,000-scale stereo-strips. Initial regional mapping was intended as an aid in determining that part of the Southern Trough most likely to be underlain by relatively unmetamorphosed paralic Kembelangan sandstones ideally interdigitated with marine source and cape shales. SLAR reconnaissance mapping met a subsequent need to rapidly and inexpensively narrow the search to that part of the "fairway' coincident with a favorable structure. The SLAR mosaic clearly displays the Irian mountains, strongly and gently folded foothills belts, and the southern front of the fold belt south of which is a large complex of alluvial fans.
