Robert, WA, 1991 (P723), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field 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 data 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.
 These line dataset from the Robert, WA, 1991 survey were acquired in 1991 by the WA Government, and consisted of 81842 line-kilometres of data at 300m line spacing and 60m 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.

Camden Sound 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The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS).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.

Tsunami methodology and result overview - UNISDR Global Assessment Report 2015 - GAR15

The present report gives a brief overview of the tsunami hazard component of the Global Assessment Report 2015, involving a global hazard analysis. Tsunamis are infrequent events with the power to cause massive loss of life, large economic losses, and cascading effects such as destruction of critical facilities. Infrequent, but large and highly destructive tsunami events generally pose greater risk than the cumulative effect of smaller and more frequent events. 
The assessment presented here is the first global scale probabilistic assessment of tsunami hazard. This report details the methodology and input parameters used in this assessment. The results of this assessment are tsunami inundation footprints for a suite of earthquake events, each with an associated probability of occurrence. These results are then used by CIMNE to undertake probabilistic risk assessment, which is reported separately. 
There are a number of limitations that result from undertaking a global scale hazard assessment that are detailed in this report. It should be stressed that the results presented here should not be used for local scale hazard and risk assessment, or to inform any local scale disaster management activities. Rather, they are intended to provide an overview from a global perspective that allows broad comparison between different regions.

Online opals, mobile meteorites, and virtual visits: using Google Arts&Culture to share Geoscience Australia’s collections with the world

Geoscience Australia (GA) houses a world-class array of mineral, meteorite, and fossil specimens within the National Mineral and Fossil Collection. Numerous fascinating specimens are on display in the foyer at GA, alongside historical maps and geoscientific equipment. The collection also contains specimens that are fragile or highly valuable, and therefore not suitable for public display. Many of the specimens have great scientific, historic, and aesthetic value, but the physical collection is not easily accessible to the majority of the Australian population. 
Since 2016, collaboration with the Google Cultural Institute has enabled GA to showcase some of our rare and valuable specimens, on the Google Arts and Culture (A &amp; C) platform. Examples of our current digital exhibitions include ‘Gems from the Safe’ – featuring some of our most rare and valuable specimens, that were previously not visible to the public – and ‘Australian Opals’, which showcases GA’s spectacular collection of Australia’s national gemstone. We have also recently augmented the Google A &amp; C exhibitions with Google’s ‘walk-through’ feature, which uses the Streetview technology to allow users to view the foyer display from anywhere in the world.  
These digital displays are an important step forward in reaching a much wider audience, and take advantage of new technology to help keep GA’s rich geoscience heritage in the spotlight.

Dakota Seismic, Gravity, Seismic Refraction (P196744), 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 Dakota Seismic, Gravity, Seismic Refraction (P196744) contains a total of 878 point data values acquired at a spacing between 450 and 3500 metres. The data is located in WA and were acquired in 1967, under project No. 196744 for Australian Aquitaine Petroleum Pty Ltd.

Radium Hill ore reserves, November 30th, 1951

Ore reserves in the Geiger-Main and Whip Lodes at Radium Hill have been calculated from up-to-date plans and assay data provided by the South Australian Mines Department and results obtained agree closely with estimates made by the Mines Department. Tonnage of ore (not including dilution) to 600 feet depth on Geiger-Main and Whip Lodes and to 400 feet in Main Lode South block is estimated at 337,500 tons containing 938 tons U3O8, corresponding to an approximate average of 160 tons U3O8 per 100 feet of vertical depth. 
The data used, method of calculation, and results, are discussed at length in this report.

The role of the government geoscientist

The career pathway of a Geoscientist in Government is not well identified and articulated. This has implications for the choice of and mobility into government scientist career path, as well as the diversity and innovation within government science. This talk articulates the ‘who’ and ‘where’ of government geoscientists, why they are needed, and the characteristics of these roles. It then explores how to sustain government geoscientists into the future, noting the current challenges faced by university geoscience departments. The science communication challenges and ‘identity issues’ of geoscience are discussed, including the importance of trust and understanding motivations.&nbsp;

Sedimentological studies of Cainozoic sediments from the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus, off northwest Australia

Eighty-two cores of Quaternary and Quaternary/Tertiary sediments were taken by the R/V Sonne in the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateau areas off northwestern Australia in 1979. The Quaternary sediments show a systematic variation in composition with water depth which basically reflects change in the abundance and nature of certain biogenic components. These changes are mainly related to the positions of the aragonite and carbonate compensation depths, which presently lie in the region at about 800 m and between 4100 and 4800 m, respectively. The sediments form four major facies, ranging from relatively coarse carbonate sands on the continental shelf to siliceous clays on the abyssal plains. Tertiary sediments, which were penetrated in four of the cores, mainly consist of Oligocene or Miocene foraminiferal nanno oozes or chalks. A volcaniclastic sandstone containing rounded phosphatic nodules was penetrated on the eastern margin of the Wallaby Plateau and is consistent with the proposed volcanic origin of the plateau.
