Late Upper Cambrian trilobites from the Gola Beds, western Queensland

This Bulletin describes the trilobite fauna of the Gala Beds, an informally designated stratigraphical unit of late Upper Cambrian age outcropping along the Momedah anticline in the Boulia area, western Queensland. On the basis of their triolobites the Gola Beds are provisionally considered correlatives Franconian to early Trempealeauan interval of North America, and of the Fengshanian of north China, Korea, and Manchuria. Of the 19 genera described below, 10 are new; and of the 25 species, 21 are described for the first time and four are left under open nomenclature owing to lack of material. New taxa are: Pseudagnostus papilio sp. nov., P. clavus sp. nov., Connagnostus junior sp. nov., Distagnostus ergodes gen. et sp. nov., Rudagnostus avius sp. nov., Geragnostus (Micragnostus) acrolebes sp. nov., Richardsonella laciniosa sp. nov., R.(?) kainelliformis sp. nov., Sigmakainel/a translira gen. et sp. nov., S. longilira sp. nov., Kaolishania australis sp. nov., Mansuyites [utilijormis gen. et sp. nov., Palacorona bacculata gen. et sp. nov., Lophosaukia torquata gen. et sp. nov., Eoshumardia cylindrica sp. nov., Del/ea(?) laevis sp. nov., Lorrettina macrops gen. et sp. nov., Crucicephalus ocel/atus gen. et sp. nov., Duplora clara gen. et sp. nov., Golasaphus momedahensis gen. et sp. nov., and Atopasaphus petasatus gen. et sp. Novo Although the fauna is largely new, about one-third of it has affinity with species previously described from North America, notably the pseudagnostinids, richardsonelIinids, and the ptychoparioids Del/ea(?) and Lorrettina. A further third has affinity with east Asian species, in this case the Kaolishaniidae, Saukiidae, and Shumardiidae. Only some agnostids show much affinity with trilobites from South America, Europe, and the USSR.

The Power of Where: the value of geodesy to society

Every day, humanity benefits from geodesy. Geodesy is the science of measuring the size, shape, orientation and gravity field of our planet and it is a foundation for evidence-based policies, decisions and program delivery. Geodesy is used every day, in the fields of civil engineering, industrial automation, agriculture, construction, mining, financial transactions, intelligent transport systems, disaster response and emergency management, environmental studies and scientific research. Furthermore, geodesy enables accurate collection, management and alignment of nationally integrated geospatial information – a key requirement for societal, environmental and economic activities, the measuring and monitoring of progress of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Small Island Developing States Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway, and other global, regional and national development agenda and initiatives.

Wireline log data analysis in NDI Carrara 1, Northern Territory

As part of Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program, this study aims to analyse the hydrocarbon prospectivity in the Carrra Sub-basin through wireline log interpretation and shale gas reservoir characterisation. NDI Carrara 1 is the first stratigraphic test of the Carrara Sub-basin, a recently uncovered depocentre located within the South Nicholson region of the eastern Northern Territory and northwestern Queensland. Four chemostratigraphic packages were defined according to the informal sub-division of stratigraphy and inorganic geochemical properties. Wireline log interpretation has been conducted to derive the clay mineral compositions, porosity, gas saturation and gas contents for the unconventional shale gas reservoirs in the Proterozoic succession in NDI Carrara 1. 
The predominant clay minerals include illite/muscovite, mixed-layer clay, smectite, kaolinite, and minor contents of glauconite and chlorite. The average geothermal gradient is estimated to be 35.04 °C/km with a surface temperature of 29.4 °C.  The average formation pressure gradient is calculated to be &lt; 10.7 MPa/km from mud weight records. Artificial neural network technology is used to interpret the TOC content from wireline logs for unconventional shale gas reservoirs. TOC content is positively correlated with methane and ethane concentrations in mudlog gas profiles, shale porosity, formation resistivity and gas content for NDI Carrara 1. 
The organic-rich shales in P2 have favourable adsorbed, free and total gas contents. The organic-rich micrites within P3 have the potential in adsorbed gas, but with very low average gas saturation (&lt; 0.01 m3/m3). Our interpretation has identified potential shale gas reservoirs, as well as tight non-organic-rich shales and siltstones with potential as gas reservoirs. These occur throughout several of the identified chemostratigraphic packages within the Proterozoic section of NDI Carrara 1.

THE 2023 UPDATE TO THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL SEISMIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT (NSHA23) - PHILOSOPHY AND MODEL CHANGES

The Australian National Seismic Hazard Assessment (NSHA) was updated in 2023 to coincide with the revision of the Australian Standard for the structural design actions for earthquake (AS1170.4). This updates the 2018 NSHA (NSHA18), which applied globally accepted, best-practice probabilistic approaches and yielded considerably lower hazard estimates at the 1/500 annual exceedance probability relative to previous national assessments and the AS1170.4–2007 seismic design values. Whilst the science underpinning the NSHA18 has withstood on-going peer review and critique, Geoscience Australia has reflected on this model and has advocated for adjustments to modelling choices where warranted. The use of structured expert elicitation was a major advance in the development of the NSHA18 and promoted ownership of the model amongst the Australian seismological community. However, some consequences of the modelling choices made during that process were not fully appreciated at the time. The 2023 NSHA (NSHA23) was intended to be a modest update to the 2018 model and again is characterised through structured expert elicitation. However, there are some key changes to the earthquake catalogue, which include: 1) the inclusion of events from mid-2017 through to the end of 2022; 2) the recalculation of local magnitudes for recent events (2010 onwards) to resolve recently discovered inconsistent observatory practice by different Australian monitoring agencies and errors with station metadata, and; 3) the subsequent revision of local magnitude to moment magnitude conversions. All seismic source models in the updated NSHA23 that rely on the updated earthquake catalogue (pre-instrumental and instrumental) are updated to reflect these changes. Incremental updates to the fault-source model and changes to the relative weights between different source-model class types have also been implemented. Another significant advance is the augmentation of the Australian Ground-Motion Database with new and legacy data. High-quality data acquired from Australian earthquakes since 2018 were used to enable more informed choices for the ground-motion characterisation model. In summary, the 2023 updates to the instrumented earthquake catalogue have led to reduced earthquake rates and seismic hazard. This change is counteracted using an updated suite of ground-motion models. Adjustments to weights in the source characterisation model yield spatially variable changes in hazard, most commonly leading to modest increases in hazard.
