Galilee Basin region: Lake Eyre 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 Galilee 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 Lake Eyre Basin aquifers in the Galilee Basin region and their properties, including salinity, water levels, resource size, potential aquifer yield and indicators of surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for the Lake Eyre Basin aquifer in the Galilee Basin region are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptualisation models (Hostetler et al., 2023).
The Lake Eyre Basin overlying the Galilee Basin includes one broadly defined aquifer that includes multiple aquifer systems that are defined as Cenozoic aquifers. Compiled data was assigned to this interval and were used to characterise groundwater systems at the basin scale.
The data are compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on resource development activities Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater for different development scenarios. 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.

Anketell (Detailed), WA, 2002 (P1080), 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 Anketell (Detailed), WA, 2002 survey were acquired in 2002 by the WA Government, and consisted of 23340 line-kilometres of data at 150m line spacing and 25m terrain clearance.

GSNSW Exploration NSW Area T Moree magnetic rtp grid geodetic

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.
This magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.00077 degrees (approximately 80m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2001 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 29063 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey.

Early Tertiary pollen from Napperby, central Australia

Carbonaceous clays in a stratigraphic borehole near Napperby homestead, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, have yielded a microfloral assemblage comprising over thirty form-species of pollen. The assemblage can be referred to the middle Eocene Proteacidites confragosus. Zonule on the basis of the presence of the nominate species, and is the most inland of any Australian Tertiary flora described. The Napperby sediments may be correlated, on a palynological basis, with the upper part of the Eyre Formation of northeastern South Australia; they are older than the vertebrate-bearing Waite Formation of the adjoining Alcoota Sheet area. A high frequency of pollen from aquatic and marsh-loving angiosperms and the presence of dinoflagellate cysts indicates deposition under lacustrine conditions. The presence of Nothofagus and podocarpaceous pollen types in significant amounts suggests that a humid climate prevailed, although seasonal aridity cannot be ruled out.

Tomographic model of the Australian region from seismic full waveform inversion

Recent studies have demonstrated that understanding the lithospheric structure is crucial for resource exploration, as errors in model interpretation can lead to significant financial losses. Tomographic images play a key role in constructing lithospheric models. Previous seismic tomographic models were developed using sparse broad-band receiver coverage in Australia, limiting the resolution and reliability of these models. Additionally, the source datasets and associated error estimates are often unavailable, making it difficult to assess the accuracy and resolution power of the models. Therefore, there is a growing need for a fully verifiable lithospheric model of Australia that utilizes national-scale legacy data assimilation and the deployment of new seismic stations to ensure standardized and quality-controlled national data coverage. Geoscience Australia has committed to producing such a model using data from improved national station coverage and sharing all results and datasets involved in model building. A relatively uniform station coverage over the Australian landmass has been achieved with the addition of the currently operated 2-degree (~222 km) grid continental-scale Australian Passive Seismic Array Project&nbsp; (AusArray) deployment, which includes stations installed in previously inaccessible regions. Full waveform inversion (FWI) was selected to create the Australian tomographic models.&nbsp;

Our database combines records obtained across Australia and the surrounding region. It spans from 1997 to 2023. The dataset underwent a thorough quality check and records for 358 earthquakes registered at 660 seismic stations were extracted for further FWI imaging. Our tomographic image reveals well known subduction zones visible as high velocity belts around Australia showing the structure of ~100 km thickness. The Australian lithosphere in the west is of higher seismic velocity than the east, in general, in agreement with the most tomographic models published previously. However, our results exhibit significantly higher granularity than the previous studies. Adding further earthquakes with lower magnitudes and further AusArray data as it becomes available will continue to improve the model accuracy and resolution.
