Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program: Profile curvature

This resource contains a profile curvature grid for the greater Darwin Harbour region as part of a baseline seabed mapping program of Darwin Harbour and Bynoe Harbour. This project was funded through offset funds provided by an INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project to the Northern Territory Government’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NTG-DENR) with co-investment from Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The intent of this program is to improve knowledge of the marine environments in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions by collating and collecting baseline data that enable the creation of thematic habitat maps and information to underpin marine resource management decisions. The profile curvature grid was derived from a compilation of multiple surveys undertaken by GA, AIMS and NTG-DENR between 2011 and 2017, including GA0333 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0341 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0351/SOL6187 (Siwabessy et al., 2016), GA4452/SOL6432 (Siwabessy et al., 2017), GA0356 (Radke et al., 2017), and GA0358 and GA0359 (Radke et al., 2018), adding to those from previous surveys GA4425 and GA0333 collected by GA, AIMS, NTG-DENR and Darwin Port Authority. It measures the curvature of the surface in the direction of the slope.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sf56-01)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

Australia's Identified Mineral Resources 1998

In 1997, Australia's Economic Demonstrated Resources (EDR) of bauxite, black coal, cobalt, magnesite, mineral sands, nickel, tantalum and vanadium rose. Reduced EDR were recorded for antimony, cadmium, copper, gold, industrial and gem and near gem diamond, iron ore, lead, lithium, manganese ore, platinum group metals, silver, tin, uranium and zinc. The falls in EDR were due mainly to ongoing high levels of production. EDR of all other mineral commodities remained unchanged.
Among the major commodities, EDR of nickel, ilmenite, rutile and zircon reached record levels in 1997. Bauxite continued the slow growth started in 1993 and although black coal EDR rose it remained in the range that has existed since 1987. Gold EDR fell in 1997, breaking the long term growth trend that started in 1982. EDR of iron ore has fallen since 1994 and in 1997 was at its lowest level since 1990. Lead and zinc EDR both continued on a downward trend reaching the lowest levels since 1992. Following a small fall in 1996 copper EDR fell again in 1997.
Mineral exploration expenditure rose by 20% from $960.2 million in the previous year to $1148.5 million in 1996-97. Increases were recorded in all States except Queensland where a reduction of 11% occurred. A fall of 5% was recorded for expenditure in the Northern Territory. Gold was again the main target, and increased its share of total expenditure from 57% to 63%. Of the total expenditure about 73% was spent in greenfields leases. Despite the continued growth, in constant dollar terms, expenditure in 1996-97 was still below the peak of 1987-88.
In 1996-97 mineral resources exports increased to $36 495 million, a rise of 5% over the previous fiscal year. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) forecast export earnings to rise to $44 530 million in 2002-03. The so called Asian financial crisis may impact adversely on Australia's ability to achieve the projected level of exports.

Building Survey in the Sydney Central Business District (CBD)

Knowledge of the nature of buildings within CBD areas is fundamental to a broad range of decision making
processes, including planning, emergency management and the mitigation of the impact of natural hazards.
To support these activities, Geoscience Australia has developed a building information system called the
National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) which provides information on buildings across Australia.
Most of the building level information in NEXIS is statistically derived, but efforts are being made to include
more detailed information on the nature of individual buildings, particularly in CBD areas. This is being achieved
in Sydney through field survey work.

Flinders Ranges, SA, 1998 (P695), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation 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 Flinders Ranges, SA, 1998 survey were acquired in 1999 by the SA Government, and consisted of 127752 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 60m terrain clearance.

L196 Youanmi (Yilgarn Craton) Magnetotelluric Survey Processed EDI files and support data from sites associated with 10GA-YU1, 10GA-YU2, and 10GA-YU3 seismic traverses

The magnetotelluric (MT) data were acquired along a total of 690 km of the Youanmi deep seismic reflection traverses 10GA-YU1, 10GA-YU2 and 10GA-YU3-in Western Australia. This was a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), which provided the funding. The aim of the MT survey was to produce information of the electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle. This information is complementary to that obtained from deep seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic and geological data, which together provide new knowledge of the crustal architecture, rock properties and geodynamics of the region, important for helping to determine the potential for both mineral and energy resources.
Data are supplied as EDI files with support information.

Coober Pedy - dose rate no nasvd grid (AWAGS)

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 total dose rate is due to natural sources of radiation and is computed by adding estimates of cosmic dose at ground level to the terrestrial dose. 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 total dose rate grid. 
The Geological Survey of South Australia commissioned the Gawler Craton Airborne Survey (GCAS) as part of the PACE Copper initiative. The airborne geophysical survey was flown over parts of the Gawler Craton in South Australia. The program was designed to capture new baseline geoscientific data to provide further information on the geological context and setting of the area for mineral systems. 
This Coober Pedy - dose rate no nasvd grid (AWAGS) has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 42m) and shows the total dose rate of the Coober Pedy West Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017 survey. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 90697 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.
