Cobar Mines (P199429), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. 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 Cobar Mines (P199429) contains a total of 185 point data values acquired at a spacing between 800 and 1000 metres. The data is located in NSW and were acquired in 1994, under project No. 199429 for Cobar Mines.

Variation of vertical stress in the onshore Canning Basin, Western Australia

Vertical stress is one of the three principal stresses and is an important parameter in geomechanical studies that are focussed on the prediction of pore pressure, fracture gradients, and wellbore stability. Variations of the vertical stress magnitude can be attributed to variations in lithology or diagenetic history, localised uplift, and overpressures caused by disequilibrium compaction. This study uses wellbore data from 102 open-file petroleum wells to characterise vertical stress within the onshore Canning Basin of north-western Australia. Vertical stress magnitudes are interpreted from density logs and checkshot data and at 1 km depth below the ground surface range from 20.5 MPa km-1 to 25.0 MPa km-1 with a mean value of 22.1 MPa km-1 (s.d. = 1.0 MPa km-1). Significant variation is evident within the calculated stress magnitudes, and when presented spatially, three regions of elevated vertical stress are identified: the Barbwire Terrace, the Devonian Reef Complexes of the northern Lennard Shelf, and the Mowla Terrace. Lithology, abnormal pore pressures, and tectonic uplift are investigated as potential mechanisms of the observed variation. Although abnormal pore pressures are identified, no direct correlation between overpressured areas and elevated vertical stress magnitudes is observed. The Canning Basin has an extensive history of uplift; however, there is little evidence for significant recent inversion. While uplift is likely to exert some influence over vertical stress magnitudes in the Canning Basin, the primary cause is interpreted to be lithological; areas of elevated vertical stress magnitude are also areas where thick intervals of carbonate sediments are present.

SA Exploration Initiative 1995 - Area B17 A (P705), 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.
 These line dataset from the SA Exploration Initiative 1995 - Area B17 survey were acquired in 1995 by the SA Government, and consisted of 36821 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m 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.

Backscatter grids of Carnarvon Shelf

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Carnarvon shelf (WA) in 2008 (SOL4769) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Research Vessel Solander. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and video transects were completed in three survey areas that extended seaward from Ningaloo Reef to the shelf edge, including: Mandu Creek (80 sq km); Point Cloates (281 sq km), and; Gnaraloo (321 sq km). Additional bathymetric mapping (but no sampling or video) was completed between Mandu creek and Point Cloates, covering 277 sq km and north of Mandu Creek, covering 79 sq km. Two oceanographic moorings were deployed in the Point Cloates survey area. The survey also mapped and sampled an area to the northeast of the Muiron Islands covering 52 sq km..
The dataset contains 5 backscatter grids of the Carnarvon Shelf area produced from the processed EM3002 backscatter data of the survey area using the CMST-GA MB Process. Please see the metadata for more information.

Earthquake Retrofit for Older Masonry Buildings

Damaging earthquakes are less frequent in Australia when compared to weather related events, but when they occur close to communities they can cause significant damage and injury.  This community risk to life, property, social fabric, valued community heritage and the local economy is significant and is gaining recognition.  Some state and local governments are seeking to raise awareness of earthquake risk with property owners and are targeting grants schemes to promote cost shared investment in retrofit activity.  Where property owners do take the initiative to address structural deficiencies they need the assistance of design professionals and a skilled construction industry to undertake retrofit with due address of heritage considerations.  If you work in either domain, this document will assist you.
This document is aimed to be a resource for you when discussing retrofit needs and options with clients and translating their retrofit objectives to detailed design, documentation and implementation.  The primary focus is the most vulnerable building construction type in Australia, older unreinforced masonry, but the principles are informative to address other high risk building types.  The objective is cost-effective retrofit measures with minimised disruption to occupants that can address a significant portion of the earthquake risk to the building owner and the community more broadly.  It presents information that explains the nature of earthquake hazard in Australia, the risk it presents and the vulnerability factors that contribute to it.  It further describes the common failure modes that can be highlighted to clients and a range of measures that can be employed to preclude these.  It also links to other resources that can be drawn upon in developing tailored design solutions that the construction industry can readily implement.

Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program: Probability of occurrence of bare seafloor habitat

This resource contains a probability of occurrence grid of bare seafloor 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 probability of occurrence grid of bare seafloor 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 a previous survey GA0333 collected by GA, AIMS and NTG-DENR.

Gravity and magnetic reconnaissance, Roma district, Queensland

In the vicinity of Roma about 3000-4000ft. of Mesozoic sediments overlie a basement consisting or granite and -metamorphic rocks. Permian rocks outcrop about 70 miles to the north of Roma. Considerable flows of natural gas, and small quantities of oil, have been found since 1900 in many of the bores which have been drilled in the Roma area; but no major commercial supplies have been developed. The sediments are mostly obscured by soil. Experience also suggests that pitting and shallow core drilling have limited value. It is therefore difficult, using normal geological methods, to determine geological structures in the region and to work out, except in the broadest way, the geological structure in the areas tested by drilling. In the present survey, gravity and magnetic methods were applied in an attempt to gain some indications of basement topography, which might be related to possible oil-bearing structures. It was found that the major geophysical anomalies are not related to known basement topography, but are probably due to variations of rock-types within the basement or other causes. However, it was possible to isolate some- gravity anomalies which might be related to high basement features. These anomalies are being tested by seismic methods to locate possible drilling targets.
