Onslow 1:250 000, R502 historical topographic map

The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). The R502 series consists of 542 map sheets and covers Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. It was compiled from aerial photography, but only about one quarter of the series was contoured. The standard sheet size is 1 degree of latitude by 1.5 degrees of longitude. Transverse Mercator map projection and Clark 1858 datum were used. Coverage of the country was completed in 1968.

North Perth Gingin Brook Gravity Complete Spherical Cap Bouger Anomaly 230GU First Vertical Derivative Geodetic p201360.ers

Gravity data measure 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 North Perth Gingin Brook Gravity Complete Spherical Cap Bouger Anomaly 230GU First Vertical Derivative Geodetic p201360.ers is the first vertical derivative of the complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the North Perth Gingin Brook Gravity Survey, 2013 (P201360). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201360 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.00363 degrees (approximately 374m). A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid.  A total of 1236 gravity stations at 1500m spacing were acquired to produce this grid.

GeoInsight a new digital platform providing regional insights into geoscience data for non-geoscientists

Output Type: Exploring for the Future Extended Abstract

Short Abstract: GeoInsight (https://geoinsight.ga.gov.au) is a new digital geological information platform for non-geoscientists, developed through an 18-month pilot project as part of Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Program (2016-2024). The aim of this pilot was to develop a new approach to digitally communicating geological information to non-geoscience professionals on a region-by-region basis. GeoInsight was developed using a human-centred design approach through which users expressed a need for a simple and fast, plain-language experience which provided basic information and pathways for further research. GeoInsight’s vision is for an accessible experience that curates information and data from across the Geoscience Australia ecosystem, helping users make decisions and refine their research approach, quickly, and confidently. GeoInsight has successfully brought together information from over 20 sources about energy, minerals, and groundwater on a region-by-region basis drawing on information from across Geoscience Australia and external partner organisations. The platform and data package developed during the pilot form the foundations for further refinement and development based on user needs.

Angas Bremer Plains elevation grid geodetic

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point- or line-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This Angas Bremer Plains elevation grid geodetic is elevation data for the SMMSP - MagSpec - Angas Bremer Plains, SA, 2002 (2002/01). This survey was acquired under the project No. 909 for the geological survey of SA. The grid has a cell size of 0.00021 degrees (approximately 21m).  This grid contains the ground elevation relative to the geoid for the SMMSP - MagSpec - Angas Bremer Plains, SA, 2002 (2002/01). It represents the vertical distance from a location on the Earth's surface to the geoid. The data are given in units of meters. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

GSV Wangaratta South VIMP Vic magnetic 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 GSV Wangaratta South VIMP Vic magnetic grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 50m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1996 by the VIC Government, and consisted of 43676 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sc49-01)

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.

MRTAS Lyndhurst uranium 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 uranium grid has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 49m) and shows uranium element concentration of the NETGOLD - Lyndhurst, Tas, 1985 in units of parts per million (or ppm).

Australian hydrogeological maps - a discussion paper

In recent years there has been a significant increase in the level of interest in Australia in hydrogeological maps. However, only a limited number of such maps have appeared as yet and there are currently no agreed guidelines for legends. It was for this reason that the Groundwater Committee of the Australian Water Resources Council established a Working Group to develop guidelines, bearing in mind recent developments in computer-assisted cartography. The authors of this report were members of that Working Group.
A definitive set of guidelines has yet to be accepted by the Groundwater Committee. This report is produced as a contribution to the debate on hydrogeological maps and the depiction of data on such maps.
