Shellharbour Tharawal marine survey - backscatter (NSWENV20171130/GA4878)

This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Shellharbour Tharawal marine survey collected by the NSW government (Department of Planning and Environment – DPE) during the period 25 May – 30 November 2017 onboard the RV Bombora using DPE’s R2Sonic 2022 multibeam sonar. The Shellharbour bathymetry survey was led by Dr. Bradley Morris (DPE Coasts and Marine) as part of SeabedNSW program funded by NSW Coastal Reforms package. The purpose of the project was to 1) provide a baseline dataset and 2) map the spatial distribution of seabed types. The data will provide a better understanding of nearshore sediment distribution/transport mechanisms for improved assessment of threats/risks associated with erosion events (i.e. East Coast Lows) and changing sea levels. This dataset contains a 32-bit floating point geotiff file of backscatter (5m gridded) for the study area, derived from the processed R2Sonic 2022 multibeam data, using Hypack, R2Sonic GUI, POSView, POSPac, Qimera and FMGT software. A detailed report on the survey is provided in: i) AusSeabed Survey Report and ii) NSW DPE Scientific Rigor Statement NSWENV_20171130_Shellharbour_MB_ScientificRigour.pdf. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the Senior Team Leader and the department’s Hydrosurveyor, Coasts and Marine Science, NSW Dept. Planning and Environment.

GSNSW Exploration NSW Area N Menindee 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 0.00029 degrees (approximately 30m) and shows uranium element concentration of the NSW DMR, Discovery 2000 Area N, Menindee, NSW, 1999 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1999 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 41736 line-kilometres of data at 150m line spacing and 40m terrain clearance.

Cyclone Larry Fieldwork

Severe Tropical Cyclone Larry crossed the far north Queensland coast near Etty Bay around 7 a.m. on 20 March, 2006. It then tracked west-northwest and passed directly over the town of Innisfail (Figure 1). Within 48 hours, teams from Geoscience Australia were on the ground to begin a program of assessing building and crop damage. This continued for 3 weeks. The initial analysis of data collected is presented below.

White Cliffs 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.

Acquisition of LiDAR Imagery and derived products for the Lower Darling Geoscience Australia 2013

Background
This report describes a project which involved the capture and processing of LiDAR and coincident imagery and resultant derived products for the lower reaches of the Darling River.
The data joins two existing LiDAR datasets, one to the north covering the Menindee Lakes and the other in the south along the Murray River corridor. It is intended to provide the Murray-Darling Basin Authority with a very accurate, quality assured measurement of topography in order to accurately model the flow and volume of water in the floodplains within the project area.
The LiDAR was captured in April and May 2013 at a point density of two 1st return points per square metre within swath, (equivalent to two outgoing laser pulses per square metre at ground level). The specified accuracies; 30cm vertical and 80cm horizontal, were achieved and verified through a rigorous network of ground check points and base stations.
A set of seamless products were produced including hydro-flattened bare earth DEMs, DSMs and cartographic contours. The outputs of the project are compliant with National ICSM LiDAR Product Specifications and the NEDF.

SA Exploration Initiative 1994 - Area A8 (P716), 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 1994 - Area A8 survey were acquired in 1994 by the SA Government, and consisted of 30564 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m 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.

Resistivity methods in the search for groundwater, Cape York Peninsula, Queensland

On the western side of Cape York Peninsula, north Queensland (Fig. 1), in the Weipa-Aurukum area, surface water supplies are seasonal, and mining and pastoral development relies on the availability of groundwater. Artesian water is obtainable from the Mesozoic sandstone units of the Carpentaria Basin throughout the area, but the water is slightly saline (1000 ppm total dissolved salts) and unacceptably high in fluorine (around 15 ppm). Domestic and stock water is taken almost entirely from shallow aquifers within the late Cretaceous or early Tertiary Bulimba Formation, which underlies most of the area and supplies all the domestic and some of the processing water at Weipa and the domestic and irrigation water at Aurukun Mission. Because of the variable permeability of the Bulimba Formation pattern drilling is expensive for groundwater investigations on a large scale; in the area studied drilling alone had a 1 in 35 success rate. There is a need for a cheap reconnaissance geophysical method to locate favourable areas for drilling. The purpose of this note is to describe a resistivity traversing technique, supported by drilling, which was developed in a detailed geophysical and geological study (Pettifer et al., 1976) of a test area between Weipa and Aurukum, and to outline some interesting aspects of the use of resistivity methods in this type of environment.

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 terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This Tasmanian Tiers Airborne Magnetic, Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, TAS, 2021, (P5003), dose rate grid has a cell size of  degrees (approximately 40m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Tasmanian Tiers Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, 2021.
