Julia Creek dose rate grid geodeticg

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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This Julia Creek dose rate grid geodeticg has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 90m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Julia Creek, QLD, 1999. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1999 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 49397 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

The sesquicentennial of palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism in Australia

Beginning with some extraordinary observations made by Strzelecki in 1845, a brief history of the development of palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism in Australia is presented.  Through a number of factors, ranging from prescient leadership to Australias special geography and unique geological past, Australias contribution to these fields surpasses what might otherwise be expected.  Although this was particularly so in the early days, it continues to be so today.  Australian palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic research currently leads the world in both applied areas, such as mineral exploration, and in fundamental areas, such as geodynamo mechanisms.  Australias high profile in IAGA Palaeomagnetism and Rock Magnetism database development can be traced back to the natural advantage bestowed by the dedication of Irving, and later McElhinny, at ANU in their frequent publication of the Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society pole lists.  The major Australian laboratories and the contributions that they have made are outlined.

Mundaring Geophysical Observatory annual report 1991

Annual reports detailing observatory activities have been prepared up till 1990. This report covers activity for the year 1991. Basic program in geomagnetism, ionospherics and seismology continued at the Mundaring Geophysical Observatory during the period. The main instruments were an Eschenhagen normal-run magnetograph, an IPS type 4B ionosonde, a Worldwide Standard Seismograph, and a Seismic Research Observatory.
Seismographs were operated at Ballidu, Coolgardie, Forrest, Kellerberrin, Kununurra, Marble Bar,Manton Dam (NT), Meekatharra, Morawa, Mundaring, Rocky Gully, Narrogin and Warburton.
The observatory operated nine accelerographs in the South-west seismic zone. Another 13 accelerographs in WA are operated by the Water Authority and Telecom. The earthquake list (ML&gt;2) shows details of 217 Western Australian earthquakes during the year. Isoseismal maps were prepared for earthquakes that occurred near Kalgoorlie, Karratha, Albany,Shay Gap and Cranbrook.
A major project to determine varying responses of different sub-soil conditions to earthquake vibrations concluded in June.

Ginninderra I and Ginninderra II: Introduction to the CO2 controlled release experiments

Two shallow sub-surface CO2 controlled release experiments were conducted at the Ginninderra test site during 2012. The theme of the first experiment was CO2 detection in the soil and surface emissions quantification. The theme for the second experiment was investigating sub-surface migration and broad scale detection technologies.  Our objective overall is to design cheaper monitoring technologies to evaluate leakage and environmental impact in the shallow sub-surface.
Over 10 different monitoring techniques were evaluated at the site against a known CO2 release. These included soil gas, soil CO2 flux, soil analysis, eddy covariance, atmospheric tomography, noble gas tracers, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic surveys, airborne hyperspectral, in-field phenotyping (thermal, hyperspectral and 3D imaging), and microbial soil genomics. Technique highlights and an assessment of the implications for large scale storage are presented in the following corresponding talks.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Windorah (sg54-08)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

Esperance - Malcolm, WA, 2008 (P1189), 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.

Great Artesian Basin eastern recharge area assessment - northern Surat Basin airborne electromagnetic survey interpretation report

As part of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) Project a pilot study was conducted in the northern Surat Basin, Queensland, to test the ability of existing and new geoscientific data and technologies to further improve our understanding of hydrogeological systems within the GAB, in order to support responsible management of basin water resources. This report presents selected examples from the preliminary interpretation of modelled airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data acquired as part of this pilot study. The examples are selected to highlight key observations from the AEM with potential relevance to groundwater recharge and connectivity.
Previous investigations in the northern Surat Basin have suggested that diffuse groundwater recharge rates are generally low (in the order of only a few millimetres per year) across large areas of the GAB intake beds—outcropping geological units which represent a pathway for rainfall to enter the aquifers—and that, within key aquifer units, recharge rates and volumes can be heterogeneous. Spatial variability in AEM conductivity responses is identified across different parts of the northern Surat Basin, including within the key Hutton Sandstone aquifer. Consistent with findings from other studies, this variability is interpreted as potential lithological heterogeneity, which may contribute to reduced volumes of groundwater entering the deeper aquifer. 
The influence of geological structure on aquifer geometry is also examined. Larger structural zones are seen to influence both pre- and post-depositional architecture, including the presence, thickness and dip of hydrogeological units (or parts thereof). Folds and faults within the Surat Basin sequences are, in places, seen as potential groundwater divides which may contribute to compartmentalisation of aquifers. Discrete faults have the potential to influence inter-aquifer connectivity.
The examples presented here demonstrate the utility of AEM models, in conjunction with other appropriate geophysical and geological data, for characterising potential recharge areas and pathways within the main GAB aquifer units, by helping to better define aquifer geometry, lithological heterogeneity and possible structural controls. Such assessments have the potential to further improve our understanding of groundwater recharge and flow path variability at local to regional scales. Acquisition of broader AEM data coverage across groundwater recharge areas, along with complementary geophysical, geological and hydrogeological data, would further assist in quantifying recharge variability, facilitating revised water balance estimates for the basin and thereby supporting GAB water resource management and policy decision-making.

Jerilderie NSW Hydrogeological map of the Murray Basin series 1:250 000

The objectives of hydrogeologically mapping the Murray basin were to generate a set of maps at 1:250 000 scale to: 

show the influence of groundwater on land salinisation and surface water salinity 
delineate useable groundwater resources 
highlight present and potential salinity hazard and 
enhance community awareness and understanding of groundwater systems and processes 

and provide a groundwater data-base for the Murray Basin to facilitate land and water resource management decisions. 
The production of the Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series was a major coordinated Government action in the management of groundwater to combat degradation through salinisation and enable sustainable land and water use in the Murray Basin.  The Hydrogeological Map Series was a collaborative effort between the various water authorities of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. 
Explaining this product in detail is an article by Evans, W.R. 1992, "The Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series", Water pp. 20-23.
