GSWA Charnley Thorium Grid Geodetic

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 radiometric thorium grid has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 45m) and shows thorium element concentration of the West Kimberley (Prince Regent - Montague - Charnley), WA,2011 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2011 by the WA Government, and consisted of 145084 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 800m, and 50m terrain clearance.

Local Moran I Grid of Darwin Harbour

The local Moran I grid calculates local autocorrelation of the bathymetry grid. It indicates local heterogeneity. The large and positive values represent positive autocorrelation or clumped pattern; the large negative values represent negative autocorrelation or checkerboard pattern; the values close to zero represent random local pattern. The grid was created from the bathymetry grid of Darwin Harbour. Please see the metadata of the bathymetry grid for details (GeoCat no: 74915).

Aquifer vulnerability on small volcanic islands in the southwest Pacific region - an example from Norfolk Island

Island ecosystems in the southwest Pacific region are noted for their fragility and susceptibility to degradation, particularly in regard to groundwater systems.  In general, island aquifers are relatively free of major pollution problems, but human development suggests that potential long-term dangers exist.  The character of groundwater resource development on small islands in this region is reviewed with regard to geologic framework, water availability, recharge, and aquifer risk.  Norfolk Island serves as a case study of aquifer vulnerability on a small volcanic island.  The research and training needs for the long-term protection of island water resources are briefly outlined.

Geoscience Australia Digital Strategy 2019-22

Fuelled by a virtual explosion in digital capabilities the world is changing very fast and the field of Geoscience is no exception. Geoscience Australia (GA) has undergone a rapid digital transformation in the past 5 years. This has in part been driven by increasing organisational ICT costs, and partly by whole of government and more broadly global changes to the digital environment such as; growth in data, cheaper, more available cloud and infrastructure, new advances in AI and ML, new models for continuous development (DevOps) and public expectations that data will be available and accessible.
The overarching principle of Geoscience Australia's Digital Strategy 2019-22 acknowledges that GA’s Enterprise ICT is inherently integrated with scientific data and ICT requirements, and more broadly these are the foundation of the digital science we are respected for at GA. As such, this strategy brings all three of these components together in a whole of agency digital strategy.
The Digital Strategy focuses on strong foundations, systematic experimentation, data-driven science and digital culture and capability. Eighteen different strategies lie under these themes to help guide GA's focus for the next 3 years. There are also a number of high level KPI’s designed to help us measure our success.

RETIRED Pixel Quality 25 v. 2

This record was retired 29/03/2022 with approval from S.Oliver as it has been superseded by eCat 132317 GA Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS Analysis Ready Data Collection 3
The PQ25 product facilitates interpretation and processing of Surface Reflectance (SR-N/NT),  Fractional Cover 25 (FC25) and all derivative products.
PQ25 is an assessment of each image pixel to determine if it is an unobscured, unsaturated observation of the Earth's surface and also whether the pixel is represented in each spectral band. The PQ product allows users to produce masks which can be used to exclude pixels which don't meet their quality criteria from analysis . The capacity to automatically exclude such pixels is essential for emerging multi-temporal analysis techniques that make use of every quality assured pixel within a time series of observations.
Users can choose to process only land pixels, or only sea pixels depending on their analytical requirements, leading to enhanced computationally efficient.

Monograph 14 - Geology of the Mineral Deposits of Australia and Papua New Guinea

Edited by Frank Hughes a highly successful exploration geologist and a group of specialist advisors Geology of the Mineral Deposits of Australia and Papua New Guinea covers the major mines and mineral prospects of this area. Presented in two hard cover volumes Geology of the Mineral Deposits of Australia and Papua New Guinea follows the general format of the highly sought after monograph and proceedings of 1955, 1965 and 1975 on the economic geology of Australia and Papua New Guinea which are now collectors' items. It also includes a group of general and introductory papers followed by a chapter on mineral deposits in each of the major metallogenic provinces.
This monograph reflects the enthusiasm and interest of today with the current emphasis on nickel in the 1975 monograph. Two folded geological maps are included in a back pocket of the volume one each of Australia and Papua New Guinea to be used as a locality index.

Australian Petroleum Systems. Browse Basin module

This module is part of the AGSO-APIRA Australian Petroleum Systems Project. 
Eight basin modules were examined which covered almost the entire North West Shelf, the Petrel Sub-basiTn, as well as the Papuan basin in PNG. 
Two relational databases were established containing the biostratigraphic data (STRATDAT) and reservoir, facies and hydrocarbon shows data (RESFACS). These databases were linked by application programs which allow time series searching using geologically intelligent routines. 
Petroleum systems analyses were conducted on each area, with key results focussing upon the comparison of source quality and timing of generation between similar systems in different areas.
