Yampi 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

GSQ Westmoreland doserate 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.
This GSQ Westmoreland doserate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 90m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Westmoreland, Qld, 2007. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2006 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 60570 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Interim Amendment to PNGS 1001-1982: Part 4 Earthquake Design Actions

Papua New Guinea (PNG) sits at complex boundary between three major tectonic plates and eight microplates.  As a result of this setting, the region experiences significant seismic activity that gives the country a hazard that ranges from low in the south west of the country up to very high by global hazard levels found at plate boundaries.  This hazard has been long recognised and the suite of building standards released in 1982 contain provisions to impart resilience to buildings that were based on the best understanding of seismic hazard available at that time.  The associated design methodologies in the standards also embody design methodologies that reflect the then current seismic design practice including requirements for achieving structural ductility in design using a range of structural materials.  With a bedrock hazard that varies across the country, the overall objective of the suite of standards is that the design provisions impart properly constructed buildings with a strength and toughness compatible with the local hazard severity.

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.

Grenville-age belts and associated older terranes in Australia and Antarctica

During 1.3-1.0 Ga, multiple magmatic/tectonic events, causally linked to extensive mantle melting, markedly affected the Musgrave Block, the Albany-Fraser belt and parts of the east Antarctic shield.  It is possible that southern parts of the central Australian Arunta Block were also affected by this event.  Equivalent terranes can be juxtaposed in conventional Gondwana reconstructions of southwestern Australia and Antarctica.  Effects of a ~1060 Ma Gondwana-wide magmatism include areally extensive dyke swarms and volcanics of the central Australian Bentley Supergroup.  It is unclear to what extent the effects of a ~550 Ma convergent event that resulted in significant crustal overthickening and high-P recrystallisation in Musgrave Block rocks can be extrapolated to neighbouring terranes.  Nonetheless, this event may be indicative of plate margin processes of latest Neoproterozoic age that controlled the assembly of central Australia.

Seismic methods for hard rock mineral exploration

Mineral systems are often formed by the processes of fluid flux. Fluids may be sourced from igneous or epithermal events and can be focussed into permeable zones resulting from fracturing of brittle rock. Competent ductile formations and other impervious layers then act as aquatards and depositional sites. Chemical reactions between fluids and host rocks deposit altered mineral assemblages. All of these mineralising processes can leave an expression in the density, sonic velocity or strength of rocks and can hence be detected by the seismic reflection method. Regional scale 2D traverses (100s kilometres) can define major crustal boundaries associated with metalliferous provinces, and also image large faults extending to the mantle which tap into deep, fertile fluids. At the camp scale (10s kilometres) seismic can image anticlines, unconformities and major faults controlling deposition, and can also detect buried intrusions. 2D and 3D seismic surveys at the deposit scale (&lt; 10km) can accurately define the geometry of ore surfaces or key marker reflectors. Offsets and truncations of the ore due to faults and intrusions are also detectable. Large bodies of sulphide ore constitute excellent seismic targets and may be expressed as bright spots along prospective seismic horizons. Interpretation of hard rock seismic is often difficult because of rapidly varying geology, complex faulting and highly variable intrusive geometries. Borehole control with physical property logs is necessary for accurate conversion from time to depth and to constrain interpretations. Vertical seismic profiling is also useful for creating high resolution images around boreholes and analysing the reflectivity of intersected formations.
