Cooper Basin South Gravity Survey, Queensland 2007 (P200741), gravity point data

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 Cooper Basin South Gravity Survey, Queensland 2007 (P200741) contains a total of 9215 point data values acquired at a spacing of 4000 metres. The data is located in QLD and were acquired in 2007, under project No. 200741 for Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water (Queensland).

Mk II Airborne Laser Fluorosensor Survey Reprocessing and Interpretation Report: Timor Sea, Australia

The Timor Sea airborne laser fluorosensor (ALF) MkII survey was flown in 1994 by BP over the western Bonaparte Basin (Vulcan Sub-basin and Nancar Trough). 65 lines were acquired at 5,000m spacing in a NW-SE orientation. A total of 436,972 spectra were collected at an average spacing of 14.9m to 20.3m. Each recorded spectrum is the average of ten detected spectra.
The strongest fluors found on the Timor Sea MkII ALF survey were located over the Jabiru Field. The anomalous intensity and distribution of these fluors suggests they are related to the field development rather than natural oil seepage.
Apart from the Jabiru anomaly, the fluorescence response was very weak over the rest of the survey area. The 5km line spacing is not sufficiently close to detect most fluor clusters. The line spacing of 300m used on the nearby MkIII ALF survey over the Skua field was only just sufficient to detect the fluor cluster lying near that accumulation. The Timor Sea ALF MkII data is probably not suitable for identifying the isolated, low intensity fluors usually detectable on ALF MkII surveys in the region.

Southern Margin Basins Biozonation and Stratigraphy Chart No. 22

Biostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy that uses fossils to establish relative ages of rock and correlate successions of sedimentary rocks within and between depositional basins. A biozone is an interval of geologic strata characterised by certain fossil taxa. Such intervals are often defined by the first appearances (range bases), apparent extinctions (range tops/last appearances), or abundances of fossil index species. These key index species should be relatively abundant, short-lived taxa that are easy to recognise and as geographically widespread as possible. Widely used fossil groups include brachiopods, conodonts, dinoflagellate cysts, foraminifera, graptolites, nannofossil, spores and pollen and trilobites. Zonal schemes based on several different fossil groups can be used in parallel, and the zones can be calibrated to the absolute geological timescale using tie points to rocks which have been radio-isotopically dated.

Delamerian Margins NSW National Drilling Initiative campaign – Summary of field data acquisition

As part of the Delamerian Margins NSW National Drilling Initiative campaign, seventeen stratigraphic boreholes were drilled between Broken Hill and Wentworth, in Western NSW. These holes were designed to test stratigraphic, structural, and mineral systems questions in the New South Wales portion of the Delamerian Margin. Drilling was conducted between March and June 2023 and was undertaken by Geoscience Australia in collaboration with MinEx CRC. This report outlines basic borehole targeting rationale, borehole metadata, and analyses performed immediately following drilling to accompany data available through the Geoscience Australia portal.

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to net zero emissions, strong, sustainable resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.

Organic chemical contamination of groundwater in Australia - an overview to 1993

There are an estimated 7000 contaminated si tes in Australia that involve soil, rock and groundwater influenced by manufactured chemicals.  Of the 7000, possibly 2000 petrol stations may have leaking facilities or spill effects.  More than 183 (non-petrol station) sites in Australia have some probability of organic chemicals in adjacent groundwater.  These represent 4% of the 5000 total contaminated sites, excluding petrol stations.  The major groundwater impact at this stage of knowledge appears to be in Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia.  Most investigations have been into hydrocarbon bulk storage and refining facilities, petrol stations, and gas works sites.  Cattle dip sites, numbering in excess of 2000, have had little attention from a groundwater impact point of view.  Documentation and knowledge of sites is very variable between states.  It appears likely that not all sites have been found in urban or rural areas.  Screening techniques using models are suggested to assist with non-point pesticide/herbicide problems of consequence.  Remedial action has been limited to organically contaminated sites with only petroleum hydrocarbons, and gas works compounds being seriously attempted.  Research and practice on bioremediation is to be encouraged.

Tsunami Animation - Subduction Generation

As the Australian plate slowly pushes under the Eurasian plate, massive stresses build up in the crust. These stresses also cause the Eurasian plate to be slowly forced upwards - part of the process that builds the mountains and volcanoes of Indonesia, as well as creating the many earthquakes felt in that region of the world each year.
When the stresses get too great, the plates will suddenly slip causing massive movements in the seafloor.
The part of the crust nearest to the fault zone rapidly moves upwards by a metre or so, lifting the entire body of water above it. A hundred kilometres away the opposite may happen: the seafloor drops and the ocean above it also falls.
These two movements (the sudden rise and fall of the seafloor hundreds of kilometres apart), combine to cause a series of tsunami waves which move away from the line of the fault in both directions.

Quaternary Evolution, Modern Geological Processes and Potential Effects of Additional Petroleum Exploration Activity on the Van Diemen Rise, Timor Sea (East Malita Graben Area) : Release 1 of 1992

To meet the formal requirements for the collection, interpretation and analysis ofenvironmental baseline data in Australia's offshore areas in which further petroleumexploration could take place, the modern geological processes, Quaternary evolutionand environmental features of the potential release area(s) in the Van Diemen Rise(East Malita Graben, Timor Sea) which will be included in the first release of 1992are described, analysed and interpreted.
The potential release area(s) overlie part of the Van Diemen Rise in the eastern partof the Timor Sea in the vicinity of Cootamundra and Evans Shoals. Sea bottomsediments in the region are dominantly calcareous sand grade and derived from thebreakdown of skeletal material which has developed on an extensive number ofbanks and shoals which characterise this part of the continental shelf.
The sea bottom is also marked by a number of sinuous and narrow curvilinearchannel like features which along with other geomorphic elements are attributed tothe effects of subaerial exposure and weathering of the carbonate shelf sedimentwedge during Quaternary lower sea level stages, as well as marine and coastalprocesses which occurred during sea level rise and marine inundation.
The Holocene rise in sea level has resulted in inundation of a large number of wave-cut scarps, channels and flat top banks, the latter of which became the focus ofcarbonate reef growth and hence a source of much of the sand-grade carbonatesediments evident on the sea floor.

Exploring for the Future Project Areas

Exploring for the Future was a $100.5 million initiative by the Australian Government dedicated to boosting investment in resource exploration in Australia.  The four-year program (2016-2020) focused on northern Australia and parts of South Australia. The under-explored northern Australian region offers enormous potential for industry development and is advantageously located close to major global markets.  Geoscience Australia's leading scientists used and developed new innovative techniques to gather new scientific data and information, on an unprecedented scale, about the potential mineral, energy and groundwater resources concealed beneath the surface. This work was undertaken in greenfield areas, where the Exploring for the Future program had the greatest impact.  This dataset depicts the geographical extents of the various projects undertaken as part of this program, with an indicative total spend for each
