L034 Surat experimental seismic reflection and refraction survey, QLD, 1958

An experimental seismic survey was conducted at Surat, Queensland, on behalf of the Australisa Oil and Gas
Corporation Limited during a five week period from May 28th to July 2nd. 1958. The area lies within the southeastern portion of the Great Artesian. Basin on Authority to Prospect No. 36P and, sel the evidence of numerous bores near Roma, and a few other scattered bore logs, is considered to contain sediments suitable for the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons in possible, economic vantities. 
A local geological survey by the Australian Oil &amp; Gas Corporation suggested a structure of considerable dimensions - the 'Weribone Uplift' - which, if substantiated, would provide a promising location for a stratigraphic test bore.
The experimental survey conducted by the Bureaushowed that useful results could be obtained throughout the area by conventional methods of reflection and refraction shooting. The reflection shooting indicated a fairly uniform sedimentary section with generally flat-lying beds and a probable total thickness of 7,000 to 8,000 feet. The refraction work recorded several velocities: including one near 19,000 f/s which is assumed to be a basement velocity. Depths measured to this high Velocity refractor support the estimate of the
thickness of sediments made from the reflection cross-section and indicate 4 south component of dip of about 40 ft. per mile across the area surveyed.
Neither the reflection nor the refraction work gave any evidence for the existence of the 'Weribone Uplift'.
However, the more northerly refraction traverse indicated a local component of north dip at basement depth, and a single reflection record shot along that traverse suggested a substantial thickening of the deeper sediments towards the north. Insufficient seismic work was done to estimate the northwards extent of this dip. Such limited evidence might well indicate a purely local irregularity in basement topography. On the other hand, the north dip could be extensive, and therefore structurally significant. Any further seismic work contemplated in this area should be directed, in the first instance, towards checking this possibility.

Canning Basin (Crossland, Dummer, Joanna Spring, Percival, Helena), WA, 1985 (P575), 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.
 This Canning Basin (Crossland, Dummer, Joanna Spr, Percival, Helena), WA, 1985 (P575), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1985 by the WA Government, and consisted of 67887 line-kilometres of data at 2000m 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.

Science and technology for disaster management: Highlights from completing a 10-year disaster management partnership with Indonesia

Indonesia is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. For 10 years the Australian and Indonesian governments, science agencies and universities, have partnered to strengthen disaster management in Indonesia. Working together on science, technology and policy has greatly improved decision making around disaster management in Indonesia. By helping people prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters, more lives can be saved, impacts on the most vulnerable members of society reduced, and infrastructure can be protected.
Our partnership has concentrated on strengthening the evidence base for formed disaster management by improving:
1)  hazard information for earthquake, tsunami, volcano and flood
2)  spatial data for exposure (population, building, roads and infrastructure)
3)  decision support tool (InaSAFE) to inform disaster response and management decisions. 
This document outlines the highlights of the Indonesian-Australian collaboration on the use of science and technology in disaster management.

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.

Gippsland 2D Infill 2015 Marine Seismic Survey, (GA-0352) - High Resolution Bathymetry Grids

Geoscience Australia conducted a marine seismic survey (GA-0352) over poorly defined areas of the Gippsland Basin between 5th of April to the 24th of April 2015. The aim was to acquire industry-standard precompetitive 2D seismic data, Multi-beam echo-sounder (MBES) and sub-bottom profiling (SBP) data to support an assessment of the CO2 storage potential of the basin. The survey, undertaken as part of the Department of Industry and Science's National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP), aimed to identify and characterise indicators of natural hydrocarbon or fluid seepage that may indicate compromised seal integrity in the region. The data collected during this survey will enhance sequence stratigraphic studies in the Gippsland Basin that provide constraints on the most suitable areas for storage of CO2 and help to identify potential CO2 storage reservoirs. The survey was conducted by Gardline CGG vessel MV Duke The data collected during the survey are available for free download from the Geoscience Australia website. This dataset include all the bathymetry data collected during the survey.This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
