Elliston 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Montague Island (sd51-12)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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

Croydon, Qld, 2007 (P1146), 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 Croydon, Qld, 2007 survey were acquired in 2007 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 100315 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.

The effect of land clearance in the Mallee region on River Murray salinity and land salinisation

Widespread clearing of native vegetation has dramatically increased recharge in the Mallee region by up to two orders of magnitude. The resultant rising water tables have caused land salinisation problems in low lying areas and, in the long term, will increase saline groundwater inflows to the River Murray with a consequent rise in river salinity. Computer modelling suggests that, 50 years after the water table begins responding to the increase in recharge, an increase of 70 Electrical Conductivity (EC) units in river salinity will occur at Morgan. Broadscale revegetation in strategic areas adjacent to the river will reduce saline groundwater inflows, and the economic and social aspects of this measure should be investigated.

Constrained three-dimensional inversion of potential field data and crustal architecture of the Olympic Cu-Au province, South Australia

Knowledge of the spatial and temporal relationships between fluid flow, the generation of structures, and crustal architecture is essential to understanding a mineral system. In regions dominated by cover, such knowledge strongly depends on interpretation of potential field data. Forward modelling and inversion of cross-sections, based on solid geology maps, provide valid approximations of 3D crustal geometries but reliability of interpolation decreases away from section planes. Models of crustal architecture are more rigorously produced by 3D inversion.
Inversion programs derive physical property distributions that reproduce potential field observations consistent with a set of model parameters and geological constraints. The inversion techniques used in this study are based on the potential field inversion software, MAG3D and GRAV3D, developed at the University of British Columbia-Geophysical Inversion Facility (UBC-GIF). These programs have largely been used at the deposit-scale, but we modified the approach and settings for use at a regional-scale. The volume of crust chosen for study, centred on the Olympic Dam deposit, is 150 kmx 150 kmy 10 kmz. It comprises Archaean granulites, Palaeoproterozoic orthogneiss and metasediments (including BIFs), and early Mesoproterozoic felsic and mafic intrusives and extrusives. Zones of Fe oxide alteration are distributed throughout the upper parts of the crustal volume. Because a buffer is required to minimise edge effects, the volume for inversion is expanded to 198 kmx 198 kmy 18 kmz, discretised into 1 kmx 1 kmy 0.5 kmz cells.
A series of trial inversions were run on a desktop PC with a 2.0 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM. The initial trials were designed to investigate the feasibility of doing regional-scale inversions and to show where development of methods and support software were needed. For tractable computation, it is necessary to split each volume into a number of overlapping tiles that can be processed independently then rejoined. Even so, runs took up to 40 hours. The time elapsed can be substantially reduced if processing is performed as a distributed application across a network with each PC dedicated to a single tile.
The inherent non-uniqueness of potential field inversion means that, even after some models have been rejected on 'geo-logical' grounds, a number of models consistent with the solid geology and 2D cross-section forward modelling, inter alia, will remain. Tests that prove or disprove the models may be devised, but actual physical testing may not be practical. However, we can make probabilistic determinations of the distribution of Fe oxide alteration, which may be used to map likely fluid pathways and guides to Fe oxide Cu-Au ore. Such predictions are amenable to testing through current exploration practice.

Pre-Cenozoic geology of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria

The Pre-Cenozoic Geology of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria removes Cenozoic geology. It is largely based on (1) the 1:1,000,000 Surface Geology by Geoscience Australia (2012) for New South Wales; (2) the Victoria seamless geology (2014); and (3) solid geology layers of South Australia by the Geological Survey of South Australia (2016), plus interpretation in GA of potential filed geophysical datasets, particularly magnetic data. 
The South Australia solid geology layers available on SARIG were used for Archaean to Ordovician geology of the state. Post-Ordovician geology of South Australia were interpreted in GA using magnetic data. The 1:1,000,000 surface geology map of the Mount Painter Region by S.B. Hore (2015) was also used. Solid geology was produced with the aid of interpretation of magnetic data for that region. 
For the Murray Basin and surrounding areas drill hole data were used to determine the geology under cover. Because extents of drill hole intercepted geology are not know in most cases. Such geology are shown as tiny circular polygons. 
The author thanks a number of state and GA geologists for their inputs at various stages of the project, particularly those who reviewed the data.
