Proserpine 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

Sturt, NT, 2001 (P1021), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Sturt, NT, 2001 (P1021), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 2001 by the NT Government, and consisted of 45990 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

NSW DMR, Discovery 2000, 1994-95, AREA B, Darling Basin East (P732), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) greyscale Image of Australia 2019

This image is a greyscale image of the Total Magnetic Intensity of Australia. Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth magnetic filed caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. 
The  image is created from the 2019 TMI grid with a grid cell size of ~3 seconds of arc (approximately 80 m). This image only includes airborne-derived TMI data for onshore and near-offshore continental areas. The image shows the magnetic response of subsurface features with contrasting magnetic susceptibilities. The image can also be used to locate structural features such as dykes.

Recovering degraded groundwater in the Angas-Bremer basin through community action

Recovering a groundwater basin degraded by salinity caused by an overdraft is difficult and involves significant conflict with the community. This paper discusses how a successful reduction in the overdraft of the Angas-Bremer Basin, South Australia, is being achieved through an innovative management program developed with extensive community involvement.  The Angas-Bremer Basin is 50 km southeast of Adelaide adjacent to Lake Alexandrina.  It developed rapidly as a irrigation area in the early post-war period before the introduction of groundwater management legislation.  Groundwater salinity increases became evident during the 1960s and 1970s. Development was finally stopped in 1979, when formal management controls were introduced. By this stage, irrigation areas on the basin margins had ceased production due to encroaching high groundwater salinities.  Groundwater salinities continued to rise, and in 1987 positive action was finally taken to recover the situation.  The management strategy developed in 1987 involved the establishment of a new partnership between the water agency and the community water resources management committee. In this new partnership, the committee and the community accepted the responsibility for dealing with the problem, and the water agency adopted a supporting and facilitating role in the management process.  An innovative five year management plan incorporating substantial restructuring with accompanying incentives was developed through this process and was endorsed by the community after considerable debate. This plan has fulfilled its aims and has now been updated by the community building on the success achieved over the past five years.  The development of the Angas-Bremer management strategy illustrates the effectiveness of community involvement in implementing the major adjustments required to recover seriously degraded water resources .

Portland 1:250 000, R502 historical topographic map

The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). The R502 series consists of 542 map sheets and covers Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. It was compiled from aerial photography, but only about one quarter of the series was contoured. The standard sheet size is 1 degree of latitude by 1.5 degrees of longitude. Transverse Mercator map projection and Clark 1858 datum were used. Coverage of the country was completed in 1968.

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Dobbyn Area Detail Gravity (P196407) contains a total of 104 point data values acquired at a spacing between 400 and 1000 metres. The data is located in QLD and were acquired in 1964, under project No. 196407 for Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR).

Western extension of the Woodroffe Thrust, Musgrave Block, central Australia

The Woodroffe Thrust has until now been known in outcrop only in South Australia and the Northern Territory, where it forms part of a system of south-dipping thrust faults that penetrate the continental crust forming the Proterozoic Musgrave Block. Detailed mapping by AGSO in 1991 located new exposures of granite mylonite-previously mapped as sheared porphyry-in Western Australia, at a position predicted from geophysical data some 20 years earlier, and 120 km farther west than the most westerly known previous exposure. The Western Australian exposures of the thrust separate subeclogite facies metamorphic rocks and deformed granite in the south from amphibolite facies deformed granite in the north. The thrust dips gently south, and is marked by isolated exposures of mylonite derived from the granite north of the thrust. Lineations in the mylonite and in the northern and southern terranes are subhorizontal to gently plunging and east-northeast-trending, oblique to the strike of the thrust.
