Rosedale seismic survey, Victoria 1961

Between February and April 1961 the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics made a seismic survey in the Rosedale area of the Latrobe Valley, partly at the request of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria to provide more information about the brown coal measures in this area, and partly in order to test the Bureau's latest seismic recording equipment. One traverse, combining both reflection and refraction profiling techniques, was run south from the A.P.M. No.1 bore at Rosedale as far as Merrimans Creek, and a second traverse was run west from the bore as far as Toongabbie. Results show that the maximum thickness of the Tertiary sequence is about 3000 ft and that it thins gradually to 1000 ft at Toongabbie and rapidly to about 750 ft on the Baragwanath Anticline. It is shown that early Tertiary deposits were laid over the whole area but have been uplifted and partly eroded in late Tertiary or post Tertiary times in the Toongabbie and Baragwanath areas, but the main syncline sank and accumulated thick Tertiary sediments. Results show also that on the northern flank of the Baragwanath Anticline, where crossed by the seismic lines, the Tertiary and Jurassic sediments are steeply folded but not necessarily faulted. No positive information was obtained below 4500 ft but long refraction shots suggest that a high velocity basement does not exist at a depth less than 12,000 ft.

Southern Wiso Basin NT Gravity Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer 1VD Grid Geodetic

Gravity data measure 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 Southern Wiso Basin NT Gravity Complete Spherical Cap Bouguer 1VD Grid Geodetic is the first vertical derivative of the complete spherical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the Southern Wiso Basin Gravity Survey, 2013 (P201380). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201380 for the geological survey of NT. The grid has a cell size of 0.00743 degrees (approximately 800m). A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid.  A total of 3859 gravity stations at 4000m spacing were acquired to produce this grid.

GSNSW Exploration NSW Area M Kayrunnera dose rate 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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.

Outer Darwin Harbour Marine Survey 2015: Porosity and Chlorins in seabed sediments.

This resource contains surface sediment data for Outer Darwin Harbour collected by Geoscience Australia (GA), the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the Northern Territory Government (Department of Land Resource Management) during the period from 28 May and 23 June 2015 on the RV Solander (survey SOL6187/GA0351). This project was made possible through offset funds provided by INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project to Northern Territory Government Department of Land Resource Management, and co-investment from Geoscience Australia and Australian Institute of Marine Science. The intent of this four year (2014-2018) program is to improve knowledge of the marine environments in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions by collating and collecting baseline data that enable the creation of thematic habitat maps that underpin marine resource management decisions. The specific objectives of the survey were to:

Obtain high resolution geophysical (bathymetry) data for outer Darwin Harbour, including Shoal Bay;
Characterise substrates (acoustic backscatter properties, grainsize, sediment chemistry) for outer Darwin Harbour, including Shoal Bay; and 
Collect tidal data for the survey area.

Data acquired during the survey included: multibeam sonar bathymetry and acoustic backscatter; physical samples of seabed sediments, underwater photography and video of grab sample locations and oceanographic information including tidal data and sound velocity profiles. 
A detailed account of the survey is provided in: Siwabessy, P.J.W., Smit, N., Atkinson, I., Dando, N., Harries, S., Howard, F.J.F., Li, J., Nicholas, W.A., Potter, A., Radke, L.C., Tran, M., Williams, D. and Whiteway, T., 2015.

Mundaring Geophysical Observatory, 1986 to 1989

Annual reports detailing observatory activities have been prepared up till 1985. This report covers activity for the years 1986-1989. Basic program in geomagnetism, ionospherics and seismology continued at the Mundaring Geophysical Observatory during the period. The main instruments were an Eschenhagen normal-run magnetograph, an IPStype 4B ionosonde, a Worldwide Standard Seismograph, and a Seismic Research Observatory.
Seismographs were operated at Ballidu, Kalgoorlie (Coolgarclie), Forrest, Kellerberrin, Kununurra, Marble Bar,Meekatharra, Morawa, Mundaring, Rocky Gully, Narrogin and Warburton.
Earthquake strong motion recording was intensified and the observatory now operates 9 accelerographs and maintains a further 13 for the Water Authority and Telecom. The database trebled in the four years. The earthquake list (ML&gt;2) shows details of 600 Western Australian earthquakes over the four year period. Isoseismal maps were prepared for 14 earthquakes that occurred in Western Australia.

Australian Energy Resource Assessment - Second Edition

Geoscience Australia and Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics have released an update of the Australian Energy Resource Assessment.
Australia's energy resources are a key contributor to Australia's economic prosperity. The updated assessment provides a snapshot of the nation's current energy resources - from fossil fuels and uranium to renewables; and identifies the key factors likely to influence their future use.
This update follows the first national assessment of Australia's energy resources released in 2010. Key points from the update include:
 - Australia's estimated total demonstrated non-renewable energy resources, with the exception of oil, have increased since 2010.
 - Our diverse energy resource base includes substantial coal resources that support domestic consumption and sizeable energy exports around the world.
 - Australia has substantial uranium resources that support world-leading exports.
 - Gas resources rank as Australia's third largest energy resource, supporting domestic consumption and a growing export market.
 - Australia has limited crude oil resources and is increasingly reliant on imports for its transport fuels.
 - Our nation is endowed with renewable wind, solar, geothermal, ocean and bioenergy sources. Wind and solar energy resources are being increasingly exploited, while geothermal and ocean energy remain largely undeveloped.
Overall, it is expected that domestic and international demand for Australia's energy resources will continue to rise over the next few decades; however the rate of this growth is expected to slow, and the types of energy used are likely to change as new technologies become more competitive.
