SoE2020: Volume and load of sewage treatment plants

The annual volume and load of nutrients released from coastal sewage treatment plants into waterways in Queensland has been collected since 2010. In general, we have observed that the loads of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, are correlated with the annual volume. However, loads of nutrients in some locations have reduced in recent years despite high annual volumes and were attributed to improved treatment in these locations.

SoE2020: Great Barrier Reef World Heritage condition

While the outstanding universal value of the Great Barrier Reef remains in good condition, the Outlook Report 2019 found the grade is good borderline with poor because the condition of the property has deteriorated to varying extents with respect to the 4 natural world heritage criteria. While the property remains whole and intact, ecosystem resilience is deteriorating, and the property&rsquo;s size is becoming less effective as a buffer against these disturbances.

Real-time air temperature map of Tasmania

A statewide grid surface (80m spatial resolution) delineating recent air temperature (Degree Celsius, oC) of Tasmania is produced in near real-time. The outputs are dynamic with air temperature maps updated at half-hourly intervals (there is a production time lag where outputs typically take 30 minutes to be produced from the true observation time).

Refer to the following link for details of the latest map updates: 
https://sdi.tas-hires-weather.cloud.edu.au/shiny/

Map outputs are based on records produced from 43 Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) Automatic Weather Station sites with further bias correction provided by 267 independent air temperature logger recording sites (courtesy of the Tasmanian Government Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE)). For operational real-time application, the mapping was fully automated in the R programming language and hosted on a cloud-based computing platform courtesy of Sense-T and hosted on the high performance computing cluster provided by the Tasmanian Partnership of Advanced Computing (TPAC) of the University of Tasmania.

Threatened Native Vegetation Communities 2025

Threatened Native Vegetation Communities 2025 (TNVC 2025) is a state-wide mapping layer produced by the Tasmanian Vegetation Monitoring and Mapping Program (TVMMP) showing the indicative extent of threatened native vegetation communities across Tasmania. It estimates the mapped extent of 39 communities listed under Schedule 3A of Threatened native vegetation communities of the Nature Conservation Act (2002). TNVC 2025 is derived from TASVEG 5.0 for all but four of the 39 communities. Four communities (Heathland scrub complex at Wingaroo, Notelaea - Pomaderris - Beyeria forest, Sea bird rookery complex and Riparian scrub) are derived from a combination of TNVC 2020 and TASVEG 5.0. TNVC 2025 is the fourth major release version of the TNVC layer. It replaces TNVC 2020, which was largely based on TASVEG 4.0.

National High Purity Silica sampling campaign. Whole rock geochemistry data release

As part of the Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub, Geoscience Australia is undertaking a detailed mineral potential study of High Purity Silica (HPS) to identify favourable geology and regions across Australia that have the greatest potential to supply raw material suitable for the production of silicon. This project undertook an extensive national sampling campaign of quartz-bearing rocks, acquired through a combination of field work, core shed and repository sampling, and contributions from both industry and State and Territory geological surveys. 

This data release presents the complete bulk rock geochemical results, derived from field work in the Mt Isa, Pilbara, Victorian Goldfields, and Harts Range regions; samples from Geoscience Australia’s repository, the Londonderry and Tonsley drill core libraries; and samples provided by industry and State and Territory surveys. A total of 392 samples were analysed for major and trace element geochemistry.

The dataset will be used to inform priority mineral systems for high purity silica exploration, providing critical data and knowledge for the development of national-scale predictive mineral potential maps. Additionally, this dataset will support mineral exploration efforts across Australia by offering detailed geochemical analysis of quartz and pegmatite samples, including major and trace element compositions. These data are essential for advancing our understanding of high purity silica mineralisation and guiding future exploration activities.

This data release includes: 1) a complete geochemistry dataset, including all samples and standards; 2) quality assurance results; 3) an abridged Excel file with data removed for the standards, duplicates and any elements deemed unsuitable based upon the QA/QC; and 4) a report of explanatory notes including details of sample selection, methodology, and quality assurance.

Northwest Northern Territory Gravity along 2D Seismic Lines (P202341), Gravity Point Data

Gravity data measures 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 Northwest Northern Territory Gravity along 2D Seismic Lines contains a total of 1739 point data values acquired at a spacing of 400 metres. The data is located in NT and were acquired in 2023, under project No. 202341 for Geoscience Australia; Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS).

National Seafloor GeoMorphology (NSGM) mapping workshop

Geoscience Australia is leading the development of a scheme to map and classify seabed morphology and geomorphology at multiple spatial scales, for use by a range of disciplines and end-users. Central to the effort is the development of a consistent vocabulary and mapping standard, which is now in draft form as the National Seafloor GeoMorphology (NSGM) mapping scheme.

On 29th October 2018 a National Seafloor Geomorphology workshop was held at Geoscience Australia. The workshop was attended by representatives from Commonwealth and State agencies, industry and universities, and had the following objectives:
<ol>
<li>Engage with marine geoscience practitioners: we are seeking feedback and input on the science of the draft NSGM</li>
<li>Engage with state agencies: determine how to connect the draft NSGM scheme to the coast (intertidal and shallow subtidal)</li>
<li>Reach agreement towards the creation of a standard scheme for seafloor geomorphology mapping in Australia.</li>
</ol>

Coastal and marine researchers and practitioners in sedimentology, geomorphology and ecology, and state and Parks Australia representatives presented their own approaches to mapping the seafloor. Participants also commented on the translation of their own schemes to the draft NSGM scheme, and on the structure and breadth of the NSGM scheme. This feedback and other discussion points are represented later in this summary.

ISOTOPIC ATLAS OF AUSTRALIA - New and augmented datasets at national scale

Geoscience Australia continues to expand continental-scale coverages of age and isotopic data, as part of its Isotopic Atlas of Australia activities. Recent developments have seen the inclusion of isotopic data measured in more diverse sample media (i.e. new ‘pages’ in the Atlas), and major improvements in data density within pre-existing age and isotopic coverages. The expanded datasets are available from the Geoscience Australia Portal (https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/geochronology), where data can be visualised and filtered in a variety of ways online, or can be downloaded for use outside the online Portal.



Recent additions include:

•  Geochronology compilations for New South Wales and South Australia. The release of these latest State compilations completes a first-pass national geochronology data coverage, containing over 7500 geological ages.&nbsp;

• A second edition national coverage of whole-rock Sm-Nd isotopes with approximately triple the number of data points relative to the 2013 edition, providing a more detailed spatial and temporal picture of crustal growth.

• Expansion of the spatial coverage of Sr isotopes from floodplain sediments to include large areas of Western Australia. Nationally, the coverage has been augmented with a new and complementary dataset of bio-available Sr, with potential applications in archaeological, ecological and forensic studies.

•   Development of a Pb isotope dataset from whole-rocks and K-feldspars (initially from crystalline basement rocks across southeastern Australia), to complement the existing coverage of ore minerals. A national coverage of Pb isotopes from floodplain sediments has also been included.&nbsp;



The national scale of this Isotopic Atlas effectively illustrates the age and isotopic patterns generated by the geological processes that have shaped the Australian continent.&nbsp;It also presents opportunities for integration with a wide range of national geoscience datasets, and for novel data visualisations such as the animation of magmatic and mineralisation events through time.
