AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Mckinlay (sf54-07)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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

GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J Cobar Nymagee Part2 magnetic first vd 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 GSNSW Exploration NSW Area J Cobar Nymagee Part2 magnetic first vd grid geodetic is a first vertical derivative of the Total Magnetic Intensity grid for the Cobar-Nymagee Part 2, NSW, 1999.
This grid has a cell size of 0.00049 degrees (approximately 50m). The grid has units of nanoTesla per km (or nT/km). The data used to produce the TMI grid was acquired in 1999 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 31212 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid.

The Australian Landslides Data Model

A number of different landslide inventories exist within Australia, and each uniquely addresses a specific purpose. These databases range in scale and detail, and although some similarities and a number of
common themes are apparent between databases, the method in which information is organised and described varies considerably. This means
information cannot be readily compared or aggregated with other sources and it is possible there is already duplication of effort in this area.

South West 2 (Kauring merged), WA, 2012 (P1241), 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.

The uranium prospects of the Brodribb, Ella Creek and Frazer areas, Northern Territory

The area described in the report lies between latitudes 12Â°48' and 12Â°56' S., and longitudes 130Â°56' and 131Â°11'E. Most of the mapped region lies between the Stuart Highway and the North Australian Railway. The investigation of this area is still in the early stages and has consisted of general geological mapping, and detailed investigation (including drilling) of areas found to have been radioactive during airborne scintillometer surveys carried out in 1952. At Brodribb and Ella Creek superficial hematite-rich deposits have been found to be radioactive to the extent of up to ten times background, but drilling of this type of deposit at Brodribb has not yet proved the existence of payable primary ore. Further drilling is proceeding. A new discovery at Ella Creek in July this year gave high radioactivity over a length of about 300 ft. and two pits sunk to a depth of 3 ft. of this line have shown counts of 5,000 per minute and 10,000 per minute respectively. The field geologists recommend further testing here. In the Frazer area, laterite, which contains a belt of radioactivity up to eight times background, is known to exist, but, apart from limited trenching, has not yet been adequately tested.

The 1961 Robertson earthquake - more evidence for compressive stress in southeast Australia

A new focal mechanism for the 1961 Robertson earthquake provides further evidence of contemporary thrust faulting in southeast Australia. When this is combined with the earlier work of Cleary and Doyle (1962) on the locations of the earthquake and its aftershocks, it seems that the earthquake was associated with a high angle (~80Â°) thrust fault, about 10 km wide and in the depth range 7 to 20 km, caused by northeast-southwest compression. This fault model is similar to that found by Mills and Fitch (1977) for the 1973 Picton earthquake, which also took place beneath the southern Sydney Basin. However, in situ stress measurements and earthquake data from immediately to the west in the Lachlan Fold Belt, suggest a different stress regime dominated by north-south compression. Thus, although the crust in southeast Australia is being compressed, the directions of maximum stress appear to change from region to region.

Cainozoic Sedimentary Basins in the Alice Springs Region: Records of Drilling and Reconnaissance Geology

We provide here an updated geographic and stratigraphic framework of some of the Tertiary basins of central Australia. These have received little attention in the geological literature since the 1960s. This is due in part to the poorly outcropping nature of sequences within these basins, and to strong weathering overprints. As a consequence, this study depends heavily on analyses of drill hole cuttings, supplemented by a few cores. Drilling and reconnaissance geological mapping has shown that the basin sequences have been profoundly altered by weathering, with associated mineralogical and chemical changes. The sedimentary sequence also contains contemporaneous siliceous and calcareous beds, as well as redeposited or recycled sediments including former weathered and/orchemically precipitated rock types.
This paper is, therefore, an attempt to unravel the complicated history of development of these basins. It provides a framework for reconstruction of the probable Cainozoic depositional, weathering, climatic and tectonic history of central Australia. Although there are large gaps in knowledge, the data presented has wide implications regionally for the palaeogeographic and tectonic evolution of the Australian Plate. Locally, it is valuable fo the assessment of mineral and groundwater resources.Many of the specific palaeo-environmental interpretations are tentative as, for example, details of the depositional, sedimentary, and stratigraphic details remain to be investigated.
