Victoria River Downs 1 1000, NT, 1998 (P1004), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

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 Victoria River Downs 1 1000, NT, 1998 (P1004), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1998 by the NT Government, and consisted of 90466 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.

A new antiarchan fish (Placodermi) from the Late Devonian of southeastern Australia

A new asterolepidoid antiarch is described from sediments of probable Late Devonian (Frasnian) age in the Boyd Volcanic Complex. on the south coast of New South Wales. It occurs as a rare element in an assumed freshwater assemblage wi th abundant Bothriolepis and Phyllolepis, and less common rhipidistian, acanthodian, and possible onychodontid remains. Pambulaspis cobandrahensis gen. et sp. nov. resembles Remigolepis in possessing separate posterior dorsolateral and lateral plates and a prominent postorbital crista, and resembles Asterolepis in having an elongate postorbital process and prominent subobstantic area, and lacking the posterior oblique pit-line groove in the adult. It differs from both in that the posterior dorsolateral completely overlaps the anterior median dorsal, and the lateral line canal crosses the posterior lateral plate instead of the posterior dorsolateral. The preorbital region of the skull , certain plates of the trunk, and the basic structure of the pectoral fin are not known. It is suggested that Pambulaspis is closely related to Asterolepis and Remigo/epis, and may be a sister taxon to the latter. The most recent common ancestor of these genera must have been Eifelian or older.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sd56-01)

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.

Gravity evidence for a major crustal fracture in eastern Australia

Gravity data are presented for 220 sites covering 180 000 square kilometres in the Prince Charles Mountains area of eastern Antarctica. Bouguer anomalies range from +60 m Gal over the Amery Ice Shelf (near sea level) to -120 m Gal at altitudes above 2000 m on the Antarctic ice cap. Bouguer anomalies correlate with the mass per unit area above sea level in the relation expected for a region in isostatic equilibrium. Smoothed free air anomalies range from +60 to -60 mGal. North-south trending anomalies over the Lambert Glacier and Amery Ice Shelf are thought to be due to a major fault along the Lambert Glacier, and a rift structure under the Amery Ice Shelf. To the west of these structures the free air anomalies trend mainly east-west.

Foraminifera in the Permian rocks of Australia

Foraminifera were first recognized in the Permian sediments of Australia in 1882. Some systematic work on these micro-fossils was done up to 1905, but there was no further investigation until. 1937, since when five papers on Permian foraminifera have been published. However, about ten years ago, systematic sampling of outcrops, cores and cuttings from bores was commenced with the object of determining whether micro-faunal zones could be established. Core samples and drill cuttings from these bores: and the various outcrops have been examined by the writer and a microfauna identified. Surface samples from localities in New South Wales were also submitted by the Geology Department, University of Sydney, for micro-examination. From the information presented in the following sections of this bulletin, it will be seen that, although a considerable amount of research is still necessary before a definite system of zoning, based on the microfaunas, can be applied to the Permian rocks of Australia, such a system is possible. In the extensive collections of Permian rocks examined from the Hunter River District of New South Wales, assemblages of foraminifera rather than restricted species have proved useful for zonal purposes, and it will be shown that correlation of deposits in other States can be made, by means of these assemblages.

Onshore Energy Security Program - Onshore Petroleum Project flyer

Between 2006 and 2011, Geoscience Australia has acquired deep crustal seismic reflection and magnetotelluric surveys as a major component of the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP).
All surveys have been conducted in collaboration with the relevant state or NT geological survey. The
Seismic Acquisition and Processing Project provides precompetitive data for developing new  geological frameworks for assessment of onshore hydrocarbon, geothermal and uranium resources.
The Onshore Petroleum Project provides interpretation of the seismic data in frontier basins with petroleum potential and an assessment of the petroleum prospectivity of these basins. Seismic data can reveal basin and crustal architecture for potential hydrocarbons, image potential hot rocks (granites), and identify potential uranium deposit settings, such as craton margins and unconformities.

Hydrogeological modelling for an arid-zone borefield in Amadeus Basin aquifers, Alice Springs, Northern Territory

Water supply for the town of Alice Springs is obtained from the Roe Creek Borefield, 15 km to the south-southwest. This borefield currently consists of 20 production bores which pump water from four discrete aquifers in three formations in the Amadeus Basin: Mereenie Sandstone, Pacoota Sandstone (2), and Shannon Formation. Annual extraction is of the order of 10 x 106 m3, of which more than 80 per cent comes from the Mereenie Sandstone. Peak daily extraction rates are 55 000 m3.  Regional investigations show that the Mereenie Sandstone will continue to be the major source of Alice Springs water supply. Models have been developed to determine the economically sustainable yield from the Roe Creek Borefield.  These models indicate that borefield abstraction is primarily from local aquifer storage, and, as such, drawdown is linearly related to total withdrawal from the aquifers.
