East Isa VTEM Plus helicopter-borne versatile time domain electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical survey

From June 23rd to November 4th 2016 Geotech Ltd. carried out a helicopter-borne geophysical survey over part of East Isa in Queensland (figure 1). Operations were based at Cloncurry, Queensland. The traverse lines were flown in an east to west (N 90° E azimuth) direction with 2km and 2.5km traverse line spacings, with three Tie lines flown perpendicular to the traverse lines. During the survey the helicopter was maintained at a mean altitude of 76 metres above the ground with an average survey speed of 90 km/hour. This allowed for an actual average EM Transmitter-receiver loop terrain clearance of 38 metres and a magnetic sensor clearance of 68 metres. 
The principal geophysical sensors included a versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEMTMPlus) full receiver-waveform system, and a caesium magnetometer. Ancillary equipment included a GPS navigation system, laser and radar altimeters, and inclinometer. A total of 15697 line-kilometres of geophysical data were acquired during the survey.  The electromagnetic system is a Geotech Time Domain EM (VTEMplus) with full receiver-waveform streamed data recording at 192 kHz. The "full waveform VTEM system" uses the streamed half-cycle recording of transmitter current and receiver voltage waveforms to obtain a complete system response calibration throughout the entire survey flight. The VTEM transmitter loop and Z-component receiver coils are in a concentric-coplanar configuration and their axes are nominally vertical. An X-component receiver coil is also installed in the centre of the transmitter loop, with its axis nominally horizontal and in the flight line direction.  The receiver coils measure the dB/dt response, and a B-Field response is calculated during the data processing.
In-field data quality assurance and preliminary processing were carried out on a daily basis during the acquisition phase. Preliminary and final data processing, including generation of final digital data products were undertaken from the office of Geotech Ltd. in Aurora, Ontario. A set of Conductivity Depth Images (CDI) were generated using EM Flow version 3.3, developed by Encom Technologies Pty Ltd. A total of forty-five (45) dB/dt Z component channels, starting from channel 4 (21 µsec) to channel 48 (10667 µsec), were used for the CDI calculation. An averaged waveform at the receiver was used for the calculation since it was consistent for the majority of the flights with minor deviation from the average.
Digital data includes all electromagnetic and magnetic data, conductivity imaging products, mulitplots plus ancillary data including the waveform.

2018 Lidar and Imagery Nulla Basalt Province

The capture and processing of aerial lidar and coincident imagery products is required for the Nulla Basalt Geological Province in the upper Burdekin catchment of north Queensland. The Nulla Basalt Province project is the second of a series of high resolution elevation data acquisition projects required to support Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future programme focussed on northern Australia. Products created in the project will primarily be used for high precision modelling of surface water movement across the landscape, identification of potential interactions with ground water resources in the region and modelling of structural geology from subtle surface expression of fault line steps indicative of historical seismic events.

Landslide Search

This database allows users to search for 
- naturally-occurring landslides - landslides with a significant human contribution or directly triggered by humans,- flood events causing significant erosion, and - flash flood events involving mud or debris - which have been recorded by Geoscience Australia and contributing scientific organisations and returns these landslide and flood events along with their associated data.
- Human-triggered landslides include events such as sand collapses caused by children digging holes or tunnels, boulders displaced by climbers, rock ledges breaking off when a person stands or sits on them, and collapses caused by excavation. Landslides are often called landslips and the terms are interchangeable.

GSWA Yowalga Sub Basin 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 0.001 degrees (approximately 105m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1995 by the WA Government, and consisted of 87401 line-kilometres of data at 500m 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.

AusAEM Year 1: Some aspects of quality control and calibration

For the AusAEM Year 1 survey an inertial measurement unit (IMU) was installed for the first time on the TEMPEST receiver bird to measure its orientation and to augment GPS derived positioning of the receiver.  This has given us the opportunity to develop better quality control and calibration procedures, which would otherwise not be possible.
Theoretical modelling of the primary field on high altitude zero-lines, using the full position/orientation information, revealed discrepancies between observed and modelled data.  It alerted us to time-lag parallaxes between EM and bird position/orientation data, some spurious IMU data on many pre-flight zero-lines, and a coordinate system sign convention inconsistency.
The modelling also revealed systematic differences that we could attribute to the calibration of the receiver pitch and EM data scaling.  We developed an inversion algorithm to solve for a receiver pitch offset and an EM scaling calibration parameter, for each zero-line, which minimised the systematic discrepancies.  It eventuated that the calibration parameters fell into five distinct populations explicable by significant equipment changes.  This gave us the confidence to use the medians of these populations as parameters to calibrate the data.
The work shows the value of the new receiver bird orientation data and the importance of accurate IMU calibration after any modification.  It shows the practical utility of quantitative modelling in the quality control workflow.  It also demonstrates how modelling and inversion procedure can be used to successfully diagnose calibration issues in fixed-wing AEM data.

Wyandra 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.

The NGMA, endorsed by the Australian (now Australian and New Zealand) Minerals and Energy Council in August 1990, is a joint Commonwealth State Territory initiative to produce, using modem technology, a new generation of geological maps, data sets and other information on strategically important regions of Australia over a period of 20 years.
