L006 Traverse "C" Giralia Anticline seismic survey, WA, 1951

A refleotion traverse was shot across the centre part of the Giralia Anticline in the Carnarvon Basin of Western Australia, in an attempt to verify the unconformity between Mesozoic and Palaeozoic sediments shown by a previous traverse across the northern part of the anticline.
Shallow seismic events recorded were of good quality and correlated very well with surface geology. They also indicated two faults in places where steep dips in surface beds might, by anaJogy with the northern end, be expected.
Deep events were in general of poor quality and inconsistent. However, over approximately a mile of the traverse, they were of good quality and indicated nonconformity with the shallow events.

GSWA Corrigin Thorium Grid Geodetic

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 radiometric thorium grid has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 43m) and shows thorium element concentration of the South West 2 (Corrigin), WA, 2012 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2012 by the WA Government, and consisted of 115492 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance.

Tropical Cyclones: Hazard Modelling and Risk Assessment

A tropical cyclone (or hurricane in North America, typhoon in Asia) is an intense tropical
low-pressure weather system where, in the southern hemisphere, winds circulate clockwise
around the centre. Tropical cyclone development is complex, but researchers have
identified three components of a tropical cyclone that make up the total cyclone hazard: 
strong winds, intense rainfall and induced ocean effects including extreme waves, currents,
storm surge and resulting storm tide.

Birksgate 1:250 000, R502 historical topographic map

The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). The R502 series consists of 542 map sheets and covers Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. 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.

VLBI measurement of the secular aberration drift

Aims. While analyzing decades of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) data, we detected the secular aberration drift of the extragalatic radio source proper motions caused by the rotation of the Solar System barycenter around the Galactic center. Our results agree with the predicted estimate to be 4–6 micro arcseconds per year (μas/yr) towards α = 266° and δ = −29°. In addition, we tried to detect the quadrupole systematics of the velocity field.
Methods. The analysis method consisted of three steps. First, we analyzed geodetic and astrometric VLBI data to produce radio source coordinate time series. Second, we fitted proper motions of 555 sources with long observational histories over the period 1990–2010 to their respective coordinate time series. Finally, we fitted vector spherical harmonic components of degrees 1 and 2 to the proper motion field.
Results. Within the error bars, the magnitude and the direction of the dipole component agree with predictions. The dipole vector has an amplitude of 6.4 ± 1.5 μas/yr and is directed towards equatorial coordinates α = 263° and δ = −20°. The quadrupole component has not been detected. The primordial gravitational wave density, integrated over a range of frequencies less than 10-9 Hz, has a limit of 0.0042h-2 where h is the normalized Hubble constant is H0/(100   km   s-1).

Building Survey in the Adelaide Central Business District (CBD) - Flyer

Knowledge of the nature of buildings within business precincts is fundamental to a broad range of decision making processes, including planning, emergency management and the mitigation of the impact of natural hazards. To support these activities, Geoscience Australia has developed a building information system called the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) which provides information on buildings across Australia. Most of the building level information in NEXIS is statistically derived, but efforts are being made to include more detailed information on the nature of individual buildings, particularly in business districts. This is being achieved in Adelaide through field survey work.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Fowler (sh53-13)

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.

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.

New SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages from the Gawler Craton and Curnamona Province, South Australia, 2008-10

This report presents SHRIMP U-Pb zircon geochronology results from South Australia, acquired over the period 2008-10, as part of Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP).  This program of geochronology was specifically targeted to provide timing constraints relevant to the interpretation of deep seismic reflection profiles, also acquired under the OESP. Consequently, the geographic coverage is heavily biased towards areas along, or adjacent to, the seismic profiles.
