The Granites C, NT, 1988 (P620), 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 The Granites C, NT, 1988 (P620), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1988 by the NT Government, and consisted of 9778 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 90m 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.

AusArray: Toward updatable, high-resolution seismic velocity models of the Australian lithosphere

In order to improve exploration success under cover the UNCOVER initiative identified high resolution 3D seismic velocity characterization of the Australian plate as a high priority. To achieve this goal government and academia have united around the Australian passive seismic Array project (AusArray) which aims to obtain a national half degree data coverage and an updateable 3D national velocity model which grows in resolution as data become available. 
AusArray unites data collected from the Australian National Seismological Network (ANSN), multiple academic transportable arrays (supported by AuScope and individual grants) as well as the seismometers in schools program. A recent addition has been Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program (EFTF) which has doubled the national rate of such data collection. Extensive quality-control checks have been applied across this combined dataset to improve the robustness of subsequent tomographic inversion and interpretation. The aim being an updatable national velocity reference model with resolution from depths of a few meters to hundreds of kilometres.
The first stage of lithospheric seismic modelling has been the development of P and S body-wave tomography models. An initial earthquake catalogue of ~26,000 events, dating from 1993 to present,  has been developed. This is used to estimate first-arrival times using high-performance routines on the National Computational Infrastructure supercomputer facility. Obtained parametric data were then used in non-linear tomographic inversion with a realistic wave propagation scheme.  Resulting P and S tomographic images show a strong correlation with major crustal and lithospheric mantle boundaries. Vp and Vs variation patterns are not always positively correlated thereby providing new insights into the architecture of the Australian plate. Integration with resistivity models derived from magnetotelluric data provide insights into the control of minor phase distribution on the imaged architecture.

Geoscience Australia Marine Survey GA0332 (SS05/2011): Natural hydrocarbon seepage survey of the offshore northern Perth Basin - Mineralogy of seabed sediments.

In September and October of 2011 Geoscience Australia surveyed part of the offshore northern Perth Basin in order to map potential sites of natural hydrocarbon seepage. The primary objectives of the survey were to map the spatial distribution of seepage sites and characterise the nature of the seepage at these sites (gas vs oil, macroseepage vs microseepage; palaeo vs modern day seepage) on the basis of: acoustic signatures in the water column, shallow subsurface and on the seabed; geochemical signatures in rock and sediment samples and the water column; and biological signatures on the seabed. Areas of potential natural hydrocarbon seepage that were surveyed included proven (drilled) oil and gas accumulations, a breached structure, undrilled hydrocarbon prospects, and areas with potential signatures of fluid seepage identified in seismic, satellite remote sensing and multibeam bathymetry data. Within each of these areas the survey acquired: water column measurements with the CTD; acoustic data with single- and multi-beam echosounders, sidescan sonar and sub-bottom profiler (sidescan not acquired in Area F as it was too deep in places); and sediment and biological samples with the Smith-McIntyre Grab. In addition, data were collected with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), integrated hydrocarbon sensor array, and CO2 sensor in selected areas. Sampling with the gravity corer had limited success in many of the more shallow areas (A-E) due to the coarse sandy nature of the seabed sediments. This dataset comprises mineraology of the upper 2cm of seabed sediment. The mineral assemblage includes quartz, aragonite, calcite and high-Mg calcite expressed as mol %.

Brine management options for CO2 storage in Australia

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is gaining momentum globally. The Global CCS Institute notes in their Status of CCS 2023 report that there are 26 carbon capture and storage projects under construction and a further 325 projects in development, with a total capture capacity of 361 million tonnes per year (Mt/y) of carbon dioxide (CO2). Some CCS projects require the extraction of brackish or saline water (referred to here on in as brine) from the storage formation to manage increased pressure resulting from CO2 injection and/or to optimise subsurface storage space. It is important to consider the management of extracted brine as the CCS industry scales up due to implications for project design, cost and location as well as for the responsible management of the ‘waste’ or by-product brine. The use and disposal of reservoir brine has been investigated for CCS projects around the world, but not for Australian conditions. We have undertaken this review to explore how extracted brine could potentially be managed by CCS projects across Australia.&nbsp;

Yilgarn Semi Detailed merged magnetic grid geodetic

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.
This magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 86m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1987 by the WA Government, and consisted of 392575 line-kilometres of data at line spacing between 100m and 400m, and 60m terrain clearance. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sl51)

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.
