Nepeid trilobites of the Middle Cambrian of northern Australia

Twenty-five species of the Middle Cambrian Nepeidae of northern Australia are described; of these 10 are presented in open nomenclature, and 14 are named new. Four genera are recognized: Nepea Whitehouse and three new-Penarosa, Loxonepea, and FoIliceps. Of these Loxonepea is reminiscent of some Menomoniidae. The stratigraphic distribution is uneven; Nepea dominates in the Zone of Ptychagnostus nathorsti and Penarosa in the earlier zones. It is, however, apparent that they represent concurrent stocks. The older form to appear belongs to the Nepea stock. The currently used Middle Cambrian scale is essentially the Scandinavian agnostid scale of zones; the name Hypagnostus parvifrons Zone is, however, replaced by the name ElIagnostlls opimlls Zone. Collecting sites are described in superpositional order of strata. It appears that the nepeids lived in swarms floating most of the time in the surface waters. as inferred from the mode of embedding, from the occurrence in all kinds of sediments, the thin test, and the frontal boss-presumably a device to facilitate floating.

Thomson Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer geodetic 1vd

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 Thomson Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer geodetic 1vd is the first vertical derivative of the complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the Thomson Orogen Gravity Survey (P201041). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201041 for the geological survey of QLD. The grid has a cell size of 0.007 degrees (approximately 734m). A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid.  A total of 7620 gravity stations at 4000m spacing were acquired to produce this grid.

Exploring for the Future Program: Return on Investment Analysis

Exploring for the Future (EFTF, http://www.ga.gov.au/eftf) is a four-year (2016–2020) $100.5 million program investigating the mineral, energy and groundwater resource potential in northern Australia and parts of South Australia. The program is delivering new geoscience data, knowledge and decision support tools that support increased industry investment and sustainable economic development.
Geoscience Australia commissioned ACIL Allen Consulting to independently quantify the return on investment from selected EFTF projects that are representative of the nature of the work done under the program. The objective was to develop a plausible and economically robust estimate of the returns to government through increased government revenue as a result of the case study projects. Geoscience Australia would like to acknowledge the organisations that have contributed to or supported these EFTF case study projects.
The results of this independent analysis can be used to estimate the impact and value of the EFTF program as a whole relative to the funds invested in these activities. The evaluation framework used by ACIL Allen Consulting to assess the impact and value of Geoscience Australia’s pre-competitive geoscience under EFTF is one that has been used for similar assessments of similar organisations in the past.
The analysis shows that the benefits that could potentially flow to the Commonwealth as a result of the EFTF projects examined at least match what has been spent on the program, and the returns can be as much as an order of magnitude higher than the cost of the entire program.

Urapunga Velkerri 1, NT, 1994 (P622), 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 Urapunga, NT, 1994 survey were acquired in 1994 by the NT Government, and consisted of 91316 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.

GeoInsight Website

GeoInsight’s vision is to be 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.

The purpose of the GeoInsight website is to communicate geological information to non-geoscience professionals. The website presents regional geological insights about minerals, energy and groundwater, as well as contextual geographic, societal and infrastructure information. The website delivers this information in a simple and fast, plain-language interactive experience which provides basic information and additional pathways for further research.

The GeoInsight began as a 18-month pilot project in the latter part of Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Program (2016–2024) with a working title of GeoWRAPA. Technical details about the build and content are available as a series of Geoscience Australia Records (refer to associated documents list). Future development is envisaged to take two forms: 1) small but regular improvements to maintain the product (business as usual) and major development milestone goals driven by project-based funding and resources.

Velocity Database for Basins of the Great Australian Bight

The seismic stacking-velocity data in the Great Australian Bight are a useful dataset for calculating depths and sediment thicknesses on a regional scale. This work compares these data with P-wave velocities from sonobuoys and sonic logs from wells, and on this basis, a depth over-estimate of at least 15% can be expected from the depths derived from stacking velocities. Megasequence boundary depths are calculated for the Ceduna Terrace to further illustrate data quality. The database makes available the unfiltered stacking velocities using conventional and horizon-consistent formats.

GSWA Boorabbin Lake Johnston ppm Thorium 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 thorium grid has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 51m) and shows thorium element concentration of the Southern Yilgarn (Boorabbin, Lk Johnstn, Sthn Cross, W Kal.), WA, 2004 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2004 by the WA Government, and consisted of 83101 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 60m terrain clearance.

The Australian Neotectonics Database: factsheet

The Australian Neotectonics Database hosts an inventory of over 300 Australian intraplate faults and fault related folds that are known or suspected to be associated with earthquakes large enough to deform the Earth's surface (i.e. mostly M&gt;6).  These features are likely to have been the source of damaging ground shaking in the recent geologic past, and may potentially be in the future.
