Adavale Basin region: Eromanga Basin groundwater package

Publicly available groundwater data have been compiled to provide a common information base to inform environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the Adavale Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used. The data package included with this data guide captures existing knowledge of Eromanga Basin aquifers in the Adavale Basin region and their properties, including salinity, water levels, resource size, potential aquifer yield and surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for all Eromanga Basin aquifers in the Adavale Basin region are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptual models (Gouramanis et al., 2023).
The Eromanga Basin overlying the Adavale Basin includes 5 broadly defined aquifer intervals: from deepest to shallowest, these are the Poolowanna, Hutton, Adori, Cadna-owie–Hooray and Winton-Mackunda aquifers. Compiled data are assigned to these intervals and used to characterise groundwater systems at the basin scale.
The data are compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on potential resource developments in the Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater. The data can also be used for other purposes, such as exploring unallocated groundwater resource potential. Data to January 2022 are used for this compilation.

Hodgkinson-Georgetown Block B, QLD, 1999, Prospectivity Plus Init. (P798), 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 Hodgkinson-Georgetown Block B, QLD, 1999, Prospectivity Plus Init. survey were acquired in 1999 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 102900 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.

The Future of location-based decision making with the Digital Atlas of Australia

This seminar will give a preview of the Digital Atlas and also look at the challenges and expectations driving the evolving, complex and misunderstood location data landscape. It will also explore how key partners from across government are working together to navigate this landscape and pave the way for a location-enabled future for Australia. 
The ways we live, work and learn, are ever evolving, even more so following the challenges we have faced in recent years.  The rapid growth of location-enabled technologies, and new and emerging data sources are driving increased demand for real-time location data and personalised data streaming.  As a nation, we need a data infrastructure and the capability to connect, access and analyse the wealth of government data assets to empower data-driven, evidence-based decisions.  
The Australian Government recognise the importance of location-based data and technology as a critical input to decision-making and are investing in key national digital and data initiatives. The Digital Atlas of Australia is one of these initiatives being led by Geoscience Australia.  
The Digital Atlas will bring together, curate and connect trusted national datasets from across government into an interactive, secure, and easy-to-use online platform. It will enable anyone, anywhere to explore, analyse and visualise location-based data on geography, people, economy, and the environment. Governments, businesses and communities will be empowered to make data-driven, evidence-based decisions about planning, infrastructure and investment at the local, regional and national level.

The Morphology of Barchan-shaped Sand Banks from Western Torres Strait, Northern Australia

Large barchan shaped sand deposits have been observed in the north west of Torres Strait. These deposits share characteristics of both subaerial barchan dunes and subaqueous sand banks. Satellite imagery shows that the deposits migrate in the direction indicated by their horns (10-15 m west per year), and that sediment is shed from their horns, features that are characteristic of subaerial barchan dunes. However the orientation of sandwaves superimposed upon the sand banks indicate the presence of mutually evasive channels and circulation of sediment around the sand bank, a characteristic of subaqueous sand banks. The presence of mutually evasive channels is the criteria used to categorise the deposits as sand banks. 
Barchan forms are known to exist in regions with limited sediment supply and unidirectional current or wind regimes. In the Torres Strait both these criteria are met. Previous work has demonstrated the presence of a net westward current through the Torres Strait that is driven by the southeast trade winds. The relatively high displacement of the wind driven currents during the trade wind season relative to the monsoon appears to provide the necessary "unidirectional" regime to form barchans. The low, and typically eastwards, displacement of the residual monsoon season current appears to have a negligible affect on the barchan form.

Potential for magmatic-related uranium mineral systems in Australia

Australia's currently known magmatic-related uranium resources are low, despite the widespread occurrence of uranium-rich igneous rocks nationwide. This discrepancy suggests that Australia is under-represented in this family of uranium mineral systems, and therefore there is high potential for new discoveries of magmatic-related mineralisation. An assessment of the potential for magmatic-related uranium systems has been made using the fuzzy logic method. This method has been selected due to its flexibility, ease of use, and ability to account for uncertainty.
Two subcategories of magmatic-related uranium systems have been assessed for: intrusive- and volcanic-related. Mappable prospectivity criteria have been developed for each of these subcategories based on a mineral systems approach. In many cases, the criteria are identical for both systems, since both are underpinned by the same fundamental processes of partial melting, uranium solubility and fractional crystallisation. Other criteria are specific to the targeted subcategory.
The investigation has not attempted to identify specific sites of uranium mineralisation, but has rather focused on identifying igneous events and units which exhibit favourability for magmatic-related uranium systems. Potentially prospective units for each subcategory occur in all States and Territories. In many cases, identified prospective units occur in regions where uranium potential has been proven, including the Pine Creek, Curnamona and Georgetown-Cairns regions. Furthermore, potential has also been identified in regions not currently known for uranium mineralisation, including the Arunta, Musgrave and Halls Creek regions. The results of this study provide an initial tool for targeting magmatic-related uranium systems. This broad assessment should be further refined on a regional scale, making use of detailed local datasets and knowledge.
