Childara - ground elevation geoid grid (radar)

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point- or line-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This Childara - ground elevation geoid grid (radar) is elevation data for the Childara Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017. This survey was acquired under the project No. 1301 for the geological survey of SA. The grid has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m).  This grid contains the ground elevation relative to the geoid for the Childara Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017. 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.

Castlemaine, Woodend, Nth Bacchus Marsh, Vic, 1997 VIMP Survey (GSV3071) (P663), 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 Castlemaine, Woodend, Nth Bacchus Marsh, Vic, 1997 VIMP Survey (GSV3071) survey were acquired in 1996 by the VIC Government, and consisted of 38794 line-kilometres of data at 200m 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.

National Guidelines for Tsunami Hazard Modelling: A collaboration between scientists and end-users

Tsunamis are relatively rare in Australia and emergency managers rely on the sharing of information at national forums to assist them to manage the tsunami risk in their own jurisdiction. Emergency managers responsible for tsunami risk management across Australia recently identified the need for national consistency in tsunami hazard information and as a result, a project was initiated to develop national guidelines for tsunami hazard modelling. 
This presentation will outline the approach adopted to develop these guidelines, focusing on the collaboration of end-users and tsunami modelling practitioners. The guidelines were explicitly designed to facilitate appropriate standards of rigour and improved national consistency in tsunami hazard modelling, without dictating software choices or otherwise suppressing innovative practices (which will evolve over time in concert with improvements in tsunami science). The guidelines focused instead on providing guidance in designing a study suitable for the use-case being considered. Core issues included the treatment of uncertainties in tsunami generation, propagation and inundation modelling, and scenario return periods.  
Whilst the emergency managers proposed the development of these guidelines, the target audience included any agency would could commission tsunami hazard studies for a particular purpose (e.g. coastal infrastructure owners, insurance), as well as the tsunami modellers conducting such studies. The guidelines will also become a valuable resource for the tsunami modelling community. In many situations, tsunami modelling is conducted by coastal hazard modellers who may not have current understanding of Australia’s tsunami hazard.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sf56-04)

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.

Assessing the level of volcanic hazard and risk from volcanoes in remote localities.

Volcanic ash and tsunami have the ability to travel great distances and generate impacts on communities. In order to assess the potential for far-field impacts from these volcanoes, hazard modelling for ash and volcanic-tsunami impacts needs to be undertaken. Determining the appropriate parameters for hazard modelling can be challenging at remote volcanoes. 
Heard Island and McDonald Island (HIMI) are Australian Antarctic Territories located ~4000 km south west of Perth, Australia. Both of these eruptive centres have experienced violent, ongoing eruptive events, as recently as 2016 for Heard Island. At HIMI, there is no permanent population living within 500 km of the active vents therefore the risk at ground level is low. However, any expeditions to the proximity of the islands would need to consider possible eruptive activity. The challenges of
characterisation of the remote HIMI for the purposes of hazard modelling are met through the use of earth-observation data. Preliminary modelling results indicate possible impacts to Australia.

Curnamona Cube Extension Magnetotelluric (MT) Survey - Data Package

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to net zero emissions, strong, sustainable resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.

During February and March in 2023, Geoscience Australia undertook the Curnamona Cube Extension Magnetotelluric (MT) Survey in western New South Wales and eastern South Australia. The survey complements the University of Adelaide/AuScope Curnamona Cube MT survey by extending the coverage from the Curnamona Province into the Delamerian Orogen.  Geoscience Australia contracted Quantec Geoscience Ltd. and its subcontractor Australian Geophysical Services to conduct the data acquisition and processing.&nbsp;Audio and broadband MT data was acquired at 99 sites on an approximately 12.5-25&nbsp;km grid with denser sites across known geological structures and along seismic lines acquired by Geoscience Australia in 2022 (L213 Darling-Curnamona-Delamerian (DCD) 2D Seismic Survey, eCAT # 147423). Instruments were set up to record five channels (three magnetic and two electric fields) for a minimum of 24 hours with a target bandwidth of 0.0001 – 1000 s. Processed data show good quality at a majority of the survey sites, except a few sites affected by environmental and cultural noise. The acquired data will be used to derive resistivity models, and to enhance the understanding of the geodynamics and mineral potential in the Curnamona Province and Delamerian Orogen.&nbsp;

This data release contains a field logistic report; processed data in EDI format containing spectra and site locations in shape file and .txt format. 

Time series data in ASCII format is available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCAT#147904.

Geoscience Australia acknowledges the traditional landowners, private landholders and national park authorities within the survey region, without whose cooperation these data could not have been collected.

Status of research on the impact of the Australian rural industries on groundwater quality

In recent years considerable progress has been made on quantifying the impacts on groundwater quality of various point and diffuse sources of contamination associated with Australian rural industries, In extensive industries, the effects of grazing, clearing native vegetation, fertilisers, and pesticides are understood in some areas where research has been undertaken; and the paper summarises some of the research results, For intensive rural industries, such as feedlots, piggeries, dairies and cheese factories, waste management is the key to groundwater quality protection.  Observations on the sources of contaminants and their fate in groundwater are described. The increasing intensity of rural production, shown by the rapid expansion of beef feedlots, growth in the area of irrigation within the dairy industry, and accelerating sales of nitrogenous fertilisers indicate that the risk of contamination of groundwater resources is increasing, and the effectiveness of protection strategies will be challenged. A sound basis is needed and in progress of being developed to address point and diffuse sources in perspective within a region.

Palaeontological papers, 1981

A fauna containing both larger and planktic smaller foraminifera has been found in two samples from New Ireland, Papua New Guinea. The planktic foraminifera indicate an age within the N.II-N.12 zonal interval; a new species, Globigerina edita, is proposed.  The larger foraminifera consist mainly of lepidocyclinids, referred to the species Lepidocyclina (N.) howchini howchini Chapman &amp; Crespin. Biometrical analysis of the lepidocyclinids has been made using two parameters: the degree of curvature and parameter F (the form number). The degree of curvature does not seem to be a reliable criterion for inter-regional correlation; more data are required for parameter F.
