Jamieson Range West Musgraves percent potassium 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 potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m) and shows potassium element concentration of the Jamieson Range-West Musgrave merge, 1998-2002 in units of percent (or %). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1998 by the WA Government, and consisted of 59784 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 60m terrain clearance.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Eucla (sh52-14)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

AGSO Cruise Report: Cruise 210 : The "Sojourn 7" Swath-mapping Cruise of R.V. Melville off Eastern Tasmania and in the Gippsland Basin

From 10 to 17 April 1997, the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) chartered the 85 m Research Vessel Melville from Scripps Institution of Oceanography on a cooperative scientific basis, to map the sea bed east and northeast of Tasmania including the deep water part of the Gippsland Basin. The vessel was equipped with the SeaBeam 2000 multibeam sonar system, capable of swath-mapping the morphology and roughness of the sea bed in a swath 3.5 times as wide as the water depth. The central beam gave a 12 kHz bathymetric profile. Other equipment employed included a magnetometer and gravity meter. Navigation, by military standard GPS using the P code, had an accuracy of about 5 m. Detailed ship's tracks for the survey, from south to north, are shown in Figures 2-5.
The aims of the cruise were to determine the morphology and sea bed character of selected areas, to aid in tectonic, basin and sedimentological studies, to aid the fishing industry, and to provide critical information for future seismic profiling and geological sampling. Satellite gravity images, and sparse bathymetric and seismic profiles, were used to plan the survey.

Geological Framework of the Bremer and Denmark Sub-basins, Southwest Australia

In February-March 2004, Geoscience Australia undertook a 26 day geophysical and geological survey of the undrilled frontier depocentres of the Bremer and Denmark sub-basins. These sub-basins comprise the western part of the Bight Basin, and are located off the southern coast of Western Australia in water depths ranging from 100 to 4500 m. The survey was planned to recover rock samples and acquire high-speed seismic and swath data over the sub-basins in order to define a chronostratigraphic and depositional framework for the evolution of these depocentres. Ultimately, this information will be used to advance our understanding of the petroleum prospectivity of this frontier region.

AusArray: quality passive seismic data to underpin updatable national velocity models of the lithosphere

To improve exploration success undercover, the UNCOVER initiative identified high-resolution 3D seismic velocity characterisation of the Australian plate as a high priority. To achieve this goal, the Australian Government and academia have united around the Australian Passive Seismic Array Project (AusArray). The aim is to obtain a national half-degree data coverage and an updatable 3D national velocity model, which grows in resolution as more data become available. AusArray combines data collected from the Australian National Seismological Network (ANSN), multiple academic transportable arrays (supported by AuScope and individual grants) and the Seismometers in Schools program. The Exploring for the Future program has enable the unification of these datasets and a doubling of the national rate of data acquisition. Extensive quality control checks have been applied across the AusArray dataset to improve the robustness of subsequent tomographic inversion and interpretation. These data and inversion code framework allow robust national-scale imaging of the Earth to be rapidly undertaken at depths of a few metres to hundreds of kilometres.

Geophysical investigations of water deposits, Western Australia

At the request of the Geological Survey of Western Australia, the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics provided geophysical staff and equipment to assist in the search for underground water supplies in certain areas of Western Australia where additional supplies are required for further development of the farming 'industry. The main objects of the survey were to test several -types of resistivity equipment and to determine their limitations and optimum working conditions, to estimate the accuracy of depth determinations to formation discontinuities, to determine, the nature of the discontinuities, and to estimate the degree of salinity of the ground water. Results show that in 75 per cent of the measurements made, errors in depth determinations were within Â± 20 per cent. Although limited control data were available, it was often possible to recognize limestones, cementation zones in limestone, sands and ground-water levels, and in granite areas, the transition from weathered to fresh granite was readily recognized. Where conditions were favourable, a satisfactory correlation was obtained between resistivity values and the salt content of solutions in a formation, provided the porosity of the formation was known. Although the main object of the survey was not, the finding of new underground water supplies, this WJ.S one of the aims in the Cue area, and a location was found where conditions for a large supply of good-quality water appeared to be favourable. The resistivity meter which was used in the tests was developed by the Bureau of Mineral Resources, and operated very satisfactorily. The Megger earth tester was reliable up to electrode spacings of 100 feet. The value of future test surveys for underground water would be greatly enhanced if more comprehensive bore information were available for correlation and combination with geophysical and geological observations. Such information should include the porosity and permeability of formations, screen analyses of samples, and salt content and resistivity of bore water.

Magnetic Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2020 - Enhanced Products Package - TMI RTP 1VD image

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 2019 Total magnetic Intensity (TMI) grid of Australia has a grid cell size of ~3 seconds of arc (approximately 80 m). This grid only includes airborne-derived TMI data for onshore and near-offshore continental areas. Since the sixth edition was released in 2015, data from 234 new surveys have been added to the database, acquired mainly by the State and Territory Geological Surveys. It is estimated that 33 500 000 line-kilometres of survey data were acquired to produce the 2019 grid data, about 2 000 000 line-kilometres more than for the previous edition. The new grid was derived from a re-levelling of the national magnetic grid database. The survey grids were levelled to each other, and to the Australia Wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS), which serves as a baseline to constrain long wavelengths in the final grid.
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 Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2020 - Enhanced Products Package  - TMI RTP 1VD image is a pseudocolour image of the TMI grid of the Magnetic Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2019.
The grid used to produce this image has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 80m).  This pseudocolour image shows the magnetic response of subsurface features with contrasting magnetic susceptibilities. The image can also be used to locate structural features such as dykes.
