Brumbys 1 logs, geochemistry and foram dataset

Brumbys 1 was an appraisal well drilled and cored through Brumbys Fault at the CO2CRC Otway International Test Centre in 2018. The Otway Project is located in South West Victoria, on private farming property approximately 35 km southeast of Warrnambool and approximately 10 km northwest of the town of Peterborough. Total measured depth was 126.6 m (80 degrees). Sonic drilling enabled excellent core recovery and the borehole was  completed as a groundwater monitoring well. Brumbys 1 cores through the upper Hesse Clay, Port Campbell Limestone and extends into the Gellibrand Marl. This dataset compiles the extensive analysis undertaken on the core. Analysis includes: Core log; Foram Analysis; Paleodepth; % Carbonate (CaCO3); X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF); Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS); X-Ray Diffraction (XRD); Grain Size; Density; Surface Area Analysis (SAA); Gamma. Samples were taken at approximately 1-2 m intervals.

Tasmanian Gravity Data (P199151), 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 Tasmanian Gravity Data (P199151) contains a total of 963 point data values acquired at a spacing between 50 and 900 metres. The data is located in TAS and were acquired in 1991, under project No. 199151 for None.

DISCUSSION: Major geomorphic features of the Kosciusko-Bega region

Discussion: Ollier and Taylor (1988) are correct when they write that the Kosciusko- Bega region has long been of interest to geomorphologists, They also point out that there has been debate over its geomorphic evolution since the early 1900s and, after reviewing some of this, develop a hypothesis of landscape evolution for the area.  We wish to examine the data underlying their hypothesis, and comment on other aspects of their paper.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sh57-14)

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.

Investigating the presence of organic matter in salt from the Adavale Basin

Large-scale storage of commercially produced hydrogen worldwide is presently stored in salt caverns. Through the Exploring for the Future program, Geoscience Australia is identifying and mapping salt deposits in Australia that may be suitable for hydrogen storage. The Adavale Basin in central Queensland is home to the Boree Salt, which is the only known thick salt deposit in eastern Australia and has the potential to become a strategic resource for underground hydrogen storage. The Boree Salt primarily consists of halite and can be as much as 555 meters thick in certain wells. 
Geoscience Australia contracted CSIRO to conduct a geochemistry test on four salt core samples from the Boree 1 and Bury 1 wells to analyse potential organic matter. Seven sub-samples of dark and clean salt from each core were sent to CSIRO's organic geochemistry laboratory in Lindfield, NSW. The results indicated that no organic matter was found in the Boree Salt samples.

GSNSW Exploration NSW Area Q Wagga Wagga total count grid geodetic

This GSNSW Exploration NSW Area Q Wagga Wagga total count grid geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric total count window countrate grid for the NSW DMR, Discovery 2000, AREA Q, WAGGA WAGGA, NSW 2001 survey. 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 total count (K), total count (U) and total count (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 GSNSW Exploration NSW Area Q Wagga Wagga total count grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00049 degrees (approximately 50m). The data are in units of counts per second (cps). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2000 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 31696 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 70m terrain clearance.

South West McArthur, Barkly Gravity Survey P201901, NT, 2019

The South West McArthur, Barkly Gravity Survey P201901 is a gravity survey jointly funded under Geoscience Australia’s (GA) Exploring for the Future program and the Northern Territory Geological Survey's (NTGS) Resourcing the Territory 2018-2022 Initiative. Atlas Geophysics was commissioned by GA to conduct the survey, supporting both GA's and NTGS's programs. The survey supports GA's Exploring for the Future program, and NTGS's unlocking the resource potential of the Barkly Tablelands.
The survey infills existing 4km gravity coverage to 2km coverage. This is the second part of a larger gravity survey, the first being the East Tennant Gravity Survey P201901, NT, 2019 (eCat number 132968). Together the two surveys can be called the Tennant Creek Mount Isa (TISA) Gravity Surveys, P201901.
The data package consist of 3,303 gravity stations as a point located dataset and grids of the newly acquired gravity data

Naracoorte 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.
