Australian mineral industry: production and trade, 1842-1964

The object of this publication is to present statistical information which may be utilized in conjunction with the Australian mineral deposits described in Bulletin No. 72. The minerals and metals dealt with are arranged in alphabetical order. As far as possible the ore minerals are described under the name of the metal, but there are some exceptions to this rule. All tonnages are in long tons (2,240 lb.) unless otherwise stated. Statistics of Australian mine production are compiled mainly from data supplied by the State Departments of Mines, supplemented in places by other information made available to the Bureau of Mineral Resources. Such additional data are obtained from producers unless otherwise stated. The figures thus derived are more detailed than those of the Commonwealth Statistician's mine production statistics a series begun in 1952, and based also on information from the Mines Departments with some adjustment. Because of the difference in sources drawn upon and the degree of supplementary information employed, the two sets of figures do not agree in a few places. Import data shown represent full imports. The values of imports prior to 15th November, 1947 were recorded in British currency values f.o.b. and are so given in this Bulletin; as from that date, quoted values of all imports represent the f.o.b. values converted to Australian currency at the current rate of exchange on the day of import of the goods, and are as they appear in the Overseas Trade Bulletin. ? refers to Â£Australian, except where Â£ sterling is quoted in the same context when Â£A is used to avoid confusion. Australia changed to decimal currency on 14th February, 1966. Values expressed in Â£ (orÂ£A) in this Bulletin should be multiplied by 2 to obtain values in $ (Australian). $1 = 1 0 / - (Aust.) [ = 8 / - (stg.) = $1*12 (U.S.) approx.].

North Australia Project GeoPDF

The Northern Australian Project online GIS, which has been chiefly designed to highlight the results of geochronological research within the project area, was first published in 2003 and updated in July 2004. GIS data reference layers include 1: 250,000, 1: 1 million, and 1: 2,500,000 geological data, regional geophysical images and a topographic map image. The geochronology and fluid inclusion points have been linked live to Geoscience Australia's OZROCKS, OZCHRON and PETROG Oracle databases. Forms display data to the user from these databases using customised query statements. Queries directed to geological layers display information derived from static ArcInfo shapefiles. The North Australia Project geochronology research has chiefly targeted the Arunta Block, Davenport Geosyncline, and the Granites-Tanami Block provinces within the project area.
This map has been produced as a GeoPDF, which is an extension to the standard PDF file format viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Layers can be turned off and on to customise the view of the data, similar to using Geographic Information System tools. In addition, GeoPDF maps are georeferenced to be compatible with other coordinated geographic data. Coordinate locations and distances can be retrieved automatically. 
A plug-in to view GeoPDF using Adobe Acrobat Reader is available as a free download ( http://terragotech.com/solutions/map2pdf_reader.php ).

Sediment Water Interactions in the Swan River Estuary: Findings and Management Implications from Benthic Nutrient Flux Surveys, 2000 - 2006

Geoscience Australia has conducted four surveys in the Swan River Estuary to investigate benthic nutrient fluxes and their impact on water quality.  Surveys were undertaken in March 2000, March 2001, September 2001 and October 2006, and both the upper and lower sections of the estuary were sampled.  This report details the findings of the most recent benthic nutrient survey (October 2006) and compares benthic fluxes at selected sites during all four surveys.
During the October 2006 survey, very high nutrient fluxes were recorded in the upper estuary muddy sites.  Combined with very low denitrification efficiencies, large sediment nutrient pool sizes and hypoxic bottom waters, these muds are a significant source of bioavailable nutrients to the water column.
Between 2000 and 2006 there has been a significant increase in the amount of organic matter decomposition and nutrient release from the muddy sediments in the upper estuary.  A similar pattern is observed in the central basin, however, the change is not as severe.  The shallow sandy margins of the lower estuary are sites of photosynthetic production, however, these differ between benthic and pelagic production depending on the light attenuation.  When light is available at the sediment surface benthic production is evident, when light penetration is insufficient to reach the sediment surface pelagic production is more evident.

Offshore East Tasmania, Tas, 2011 (P1194), 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 Offshore East Tasmania, Tas, 2011 survey were acquired in 2011 by the TAS Government, and consisted of 31051 line-kilometres of data at 800m line spacing and 100m 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.

The response and calibration of seismographs at Riverview College Observatory, New South Wales, 1909-1962

Seismograms from Riverview College Observatory for 1909 to 1962 are a valuable record of seismic ground motion in the Sydney region during that time, because the constants of the seismographs at Riverview were carefully and regularly determined. So that the seismograms can be effectively used, this paper sets out where the constants of the seismographs for this period can be found, how the response of the seismographs can be calculated from the values of the constants, and how the constants themselves were determined. The constants from the Wiechert and Mainka seismographs are static magnification, period, damping ratio, and solid friction. The constants for the Galitzin seismographs are galvanometer period, seismometer or pendulum period, damping constant of the seismometer, and synchronous magnification. Simple formulae give the magnification and phase lead of the respective seismographs in terms of the constants.
