Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - Atlas of Ord Valley Overview

In 2008, the Ord Irrigation Cooperative commissioned an airborne electromagnetics (AEM) survey of the ORIA Stage 1 and 2 areas to identify, quantify and understand any potential salinity risks in the current Ord irrigation area and the parts of the catchment that have been identified as potential future irrigation sites or potentially impacted by future irrigation. The project has been funded by the Australian and Western Australian governments through the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. Geoscience Australia and CSIRO were contracted to carry out the analysis and interpretation of the AEM dataset, and produce customised interpretation products.
Some of the more specific questions it was hoped to address included:
- Are we at risk of salinity in the Ord Catchment?
- If so what areas are at the greatest risk?
-  Where can we target management to reduce this risk?
- How can we plan future development to minimise salinity risk and maximise longevity of projects?
The areas surveyed include the current Stage 1 Ord Irrigation Area, Stage 2 Irrigation Area (including Weaber and Knox Plains and Carlton Hill - Parry's Lagoon Conservation Area.  The inclusion of undeveloped land in this survey is because the technology provides the opportunity to ensure any future irrigation development is guided by the best available information on soil type, aquifer quality and location and salinity risk. 
The information generated by this project will be publicly available and can be used for such things as: 
- Identifying leaky areas in the landscape that may require more concentrated management or can be designated for more suitable land use;
- Where salt is stored in the landscape and at what depth, and where in the landscape it may influence plant growth;
- Provide new constraints on the connectivity of aquifer systems in 3D across the ORIA and enable the construction of more realistic hydrogeological models to improve surface and groundwater management.

Parkes-Narromine Gravity (P196818), 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 Parkes-Narromine Gravity (P196818) contains a total of 151 point data values acquired at a spacing between 5000 and 10000 metres. The data is located in NSW and were acquired in 1968, under project No. 196818 for None.

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.

Robinson River Wollb, NT, 1996 (P664), 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 Robinson River, NT, 1996 survey were acquired in 1996 by the NT Government, and consisted of 82092 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 100m 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.

Optical Spectra of Candidate Southern Hemisphere International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF)  flat-spectrum Radio Sources

Furthering our continuing program of spectroscopic observations we present redshifts for 126 radio quasars. Data were obtained with five large telescopes, the 3.58 m New Technology Telescope, the NTT, of  the European Southern Observatory, the two 8.2 m Gemini telescopes, the 2.5 m Nordic Optical Telescope, the NOT, and the 6-meter Big Azimuthal Telescope, the BTA, of the Special Astrophysical Observatory in Russia.
The targets were selected from the International VLBI Service (IVS) candidate International Celestial Reference Catalogue which forms part of an observational VLBI program to strengthen the celestial reference frame. We obtained spectra of the potential optical counterparts of more than 150 flat-spectra compact radio sources, and measured redshifts of 125 extragalactic objects, together with 22 BL Lac objects. These identifications will add significantly to the precise radio-optical frame-tie to be undertaken by GAIA, which is due to be launched in 2013. These results add significantly to the existing data regarding analysis of the distribution of source proper motions over the celestial sphere and serve for identification of the distant quasars in optical and radio wavelengths. Additionally, we observed five radio sources from the FIRST Catalogue that were selected on the basis of their colours, with the 2.5 m NOT telescope. Three quasars were found with $z&gt;4$.

Lord Howe Island Infaunal data

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Lord Howe Island shelf (NSW) in 2008 (SS06-2008) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through co-located sampling of surface sediments and infauna, rock coring, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video, and measurement of ocean tides and wave-generated currents. Sub-bottom profile data was also collected to map sediment thickness and shelf stratigraphy. Data and samples were acquired using the National Facility Research Vessel Southern Surveyor. Bathymetric data from this survey was merged with other pre-existing bathymetric data (including LADS) to generate a grid covering 1034 sq km. As part of a separate Geoscience Australia survey in 2007 (TAN0713), an oceanographic mooring was deployed on the northern edge of Lord Howe Island shelf. The mooring was recovered during the 2008 survey following a 6 month deployment.

The stability of magnetisation in basic igneous rocks

Special demagnetising apparatus was constructed to study the stability of several samples of basic igneous rocks from three localities in eastern Australia, particular emphasis being placed on the reliability of the directions of NRM. The direction of primary magnetisation acquired when the rocks first cooled was determined for samples at all three sites. Mesozoic dolerite from Red Hill Dyke in southern Tasmania has little or no secondary magnetisation and the mean direction of NRM is representative of the Jurassic in Tasmania. There is no evidence of systematic error due to stress or shape, and therefore the direction of NRM is a reliable estimate of the direction of the geomagnetic field at the time of intrusion. Devonian Nethercote basalt from southern New South Wales can be divided into two distinct groups, one in which the NRM is completely unaffected in either direction or intensity by demagnetisation in peak alternating fields of up to 1000 oersteds, and the other in which secondary magnetisation completely masks any primary magnetisation that may be present. Tertiary basalts from southern New South Wales show a wide range of stability. The NRM consists of primary TRM and varying proportionate amounts of secondary magnetisation, which is almost certainly viscous and which was probably acquired in the present Earth's field. The stability shown by the three rock types makes it more probable that previous palaeomagnetic results, which span a long period from Devonian to Tertiary, form a reliable record of the geomagnetic field in Australia.The general effects of alternating demagnetising fields are also discussed and a comparison made between the theoretical predictions and the data obtained.
