Gunnedah Basin hydrogeological inventory

This Gunnedah Basin dataset contains descriptive attribute information for the areas bounded by the relevant spatial groundwater feature in the associated Hydrogeology Index map. Descriptive topics are grouped into the following themes: Location and administration; Demographics; Physical geography; Surface water; Geology; Hydrogeology; Groundwater; Groundwater management and use; Environment; Land use and industry types; and Scientific stimulus.
The Gunnedah Basin is an intracratonic, sedimentary basin in northern NSW. It forms the middle section of the greater Sydney-Gunnedah-Bowen Basin system and mainly consists of Permian and Triassic sedimentary rocks resting on Late Carboniferous to Early Permian volcanics. The Gunnedah Basin is overlain by the Surat Basin and the younger alluvial sediments associated with modern and ancient river systems.
The Gunnedah Basin is not considered a single well-connected aquifer, rather a series of porous rock aquifers separated by several non-porous or poorly conductive layers. The Lachlan Fold Belt forms what is thought to be an effective basement although little information is known of its hydrogeological properties. All units of the Gunnedah Basin are of low permeability and significantly lower hydraulic conductivity than the overlying alluvial aquifers.
Most of the groundwater resources in the area are extracted from either the overlying Surat Basin or younger alluvial aquifers. There is relatively little groundwater sourced from the aquifers of the Gunnedah Basin, except in areas where the overlying aquifers do not occur. The most viable groundwater source in the Gunnedah Basin are the more porous aquifers of the Triassic sequence.

Tiwi Islands, NT, 2006 (P1137), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation 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 Tiwi Islands, NT, 2006 survey were acquired in 2006 by the NT Government, and consisted of 30001 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Tara-Surat Area Gravity (P196316), 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 Tara-Surat Area Gravity (P196316) contains a total of 26 point data values acquired at a spacing between 1000 and 2000 metres. The data is located in QLD and were acquired in 1963, under project No. 196316 for None.

West Arnhem A, NT, 2000 (P1014), 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 West Arnhem, NT, 2000 survey were acquired in 2000 by the NT Government, and consisted of 63333 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m 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.

L131 Gunnedah deep crustal seismic reflection survey, NSW, 1991 Stacked seismic data and images for line BMR91-G01

Geoscience Australia conducted the Gunnedah Basin Seismic Survey during January to April 1991. The major aim of the seismic survey was to record deep seismic reflection data across the Gunnedah Basin and bounding margins. The seismic survey would also address several problems relating to the geometry of structural units and major faults. The survey recorded 253 km of eight-fold Common-Middle-Point (CMP) seismic data. The seismic data have been processed, with the data showing good seismic reflection images of the main structural features targeted in the seismic survey.

Bass Basin Biozonation and Stratigraphy Chart No. 17

Biostratigraphy is the branch of stratigraphy that uses fossils to establish relative ages of rock and correlate successions of sedimentary rocks within and between depositional basins. A biozone is an interval of geologic strata characterised by certain fossil taxa. Such intervals are often defined by the first appearances (range bases), apparent extinctions (range tops/last appearances), or abundances of fossil index species. These key index species should be relatively abundant, short-lived taxa that are easy to recognise and as geographically widespread as possible. Widely used fossil groups include brachiopods, conodonts, dinoflagellate cysts, foraminifera, graptolites, nannofossil, spores and pollen and trilobites. Zonal schemes based on several different fossil groups can be used in parallel, and the zones can be calibrated to the absolute geological timescale using tie points to rocks which have been radio-isotopically dated.

It was compiled from aerial photography, but only about one quarter of the series was contoured. The standard sheet size is 1 degree of latitude by 1.5 degrees of longitude. Transverse Mercator map projection and Clark 1858 datum were used. Coverage of the country was completed in 1968.

Stanley dose rate grid geodetic

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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This Stanley dose rate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Stanley, WA, 1999.

Hydrogeological investigations of two basins at Lanyon, ACT, 1974-1976

Hydrogeological investigations in two pediplain basins at Lanyon, in the southern Tuggeranong Valley of the ACT, have identified areas which require remedial drainage for urban development.
The rocks of the central Lanyon area consist of faulted Silurian dectic to rhyolitic ash-flow tuffs and interbedded sediments.  Significant storage and transmission of groundwater occurs in well developed sets of open tensile fractures which formed in response to at least two reversals in regional principal stress directions during epeirogenic uplift and erosional unloading.
Hydrogeological parameters measured in the field and laboratory included infiltration capacities, effective proosities, and hydraulic conductivities.  From these data a predictive model for drain spacings is developed for all hydrogeological populations and for any given rainfall event.  Constraints on locations of drains are also identified.  It is recommended that a sufficient number of bores and piezometers be preserved after urban development to adequately assess changes to the groundwater regime.
