Stansmore 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.

Canning Basin SW (Onshore), WA, 2007 (P1151), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 These line dataset from the Canning Basin (Onshore), WA, 2007 survey were acquired in 2007 by the WA Government, and consisted of 103206 line-kilometres of data at 800m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Radiometric Map of Australia, 1st edition, 2009 (A0 map only)

Geoscience Australia and State and Territory Geological Surveys have systematically surveyed most of the Australian continent over the past 40 years using airborne gamma-ray spectrometry to map potassium, uranium and thorium elemental concentrations at the Earth's surface. However, the individual surveys that comprise the national gamma-ray spectrometric radioelement database are not all registered to the same datum. This limits the usefulness of the database as it is not possible to easily combine surveys into regional compilations or make accurate comparisons between radiometric signatures in different survey areas. 
To solve these problems, Geoscience Australia has undertaken an Australia-Wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS), funded under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program, to serve as a radioelement baseline for all current and future airborne gamma-ray spectrometric surveys in Australia. The AWAGS survey has been back-calibrated to the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) radioelement datum. We have used the AWAGS data to level the national radioelement database by estimating survey correction factors that, once applied, minimize both the differences in radioelement estimates between surveys (where these surveys overlap) and the differences between the surveys and the AWAGS traverses. The database is thus effectively levelled to the IAEA datum. The levelled database has been used to produce the first 'Radiometric Map of Australia' - levelled and merged composite potassium (% K), uranium (ppm eU) and thorium (ppm eTh) grids over Australia at 100 m resolution. 
The 2nd edition of the Radiometric Map of Australia was released in 2010 but an A0 map of the 2nd edition is not available.

The Early to Late Proterozoic Broken Hill Province, New South Wales

The Broken Hill Province is best known for the Broken Hill orebody, originally containing about 300 million tonnes of economic and sub economic Pb- Zn- Ag mineralisation, and occurring in highly deformed, lower granulite-grade metamorphics of the Early Proterozoic Willyama Supergroup. The outcropping Willyama Supergroup also contains an abundance of small metalliferous and non-metallic deposits, and exploration for economically mineable deposits continues both in areas of outcrop and areas covered by sediment.  The types of deposit considered to have greatest potential in the Willyama Supergroup are Broken Hill-type stratiform Pb-Zn deposits and deposits containing base metals andlor gold, associated with iron formations. Other types with some potential include base metals and scheelite in calc-silicate rocks, cobaltiferous pyrite in albite-rich rocks, Pb, Ag, Zn, Cu andlor Au-bearing veins (either on their own merits, or as leaders to a larger accumulation), PGE- Ni- Cu associated with ultramafic intrusions, scheelite in quartzo-feldspathic gneiss, and granite-related breccias with magnetite and pyrite.  Very little mineralisation is known from the Late Proterozoic Adelaidean sequence, but various types of base metal and gold mineralisation occur in stratigraphically equivalent rocks in South Australia, and base-metal and uranium deposits are being mined in very similar rocks in southern Africa. The potential of the Adelaidean rocks is very poorly tested.  Extensive areas of Willyama and Adelaidean rocks are covered by 50- 200 m of Mesozoic/Cainozoic sediments below the Mundi Mundi Plains and in the Tindara area to the north. Drilling in probable Willyama Supergroup rocks below the Mundi Mundi Plains has detected a wide interval of low grade Pb-Zn mineralisation, interpreted to be in the Broken Hill Group , and significant Cu- Au- Ag mineralisation in magnetite-rich ironstone in the interpreted Thackaringa Group. No mineralisation is known in the Tindara area, but there is no outcrop, and pre-Mesozoic basement has been penetrated in only 11 drill holes, in an area approximately 100 km by 40 km.  Exploration of deeply covered Willyama Supergroup rocks depends largely on aeromagnetics; in the Adelaidean, exploration can be approached both by conceptual modelling and by empirical techniques.  Broken Hill-type deposits are difficult targets, because they may have no discernible geophysical signature and because of their essentially one-dimensional shape, which requires a different approach to drilling.

Leonora, WA, 1964 (P288), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 These line dataset from the Leonora-Menzies, WA, 1964 survey were acquired in 1964 by the WA Government, and consisted of 24132 line-kilometres of data at 1600m line spacing and 150m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

The 2015 Gininnderra CO2 and CH4 release experiment: An evaluation of gas detection and quantification techniques

A two month long methane and carbon dioxide blind release experiment was held in Canberra, Australia, during 2015. The primary objective of the experiment was to conduct a simultaneous comparison of different atmospheric emissions quantification techniques against a point source release. Seven quantification techniques were assessed during the trial: mobile tracer ratio technique using acetylene and nitrous oxide; open path tracer ratio technique using N2O; backwards Lagrangian stochastic modelling; eddy covariance (3 different approaches); atmospheric tomography using point sensors; atmospheric tomography using integrated line sensors; and Gaussian plume fitting to mobile traverses taken using an unmanned ground robot. The majority of CH4 estimates were within 20% of the actual release rate (5.8 g/min), with the mobile tracer ratio technique providing the closest estimate to both the CH4 and CO2 release rates. The majority of revised CH4 rate estimates, once the release rate was known, were within 10% of the actual release rate. Less accuracy was obtained with the CO2 rate (100 g/min) estimates, underscoring the challenge of accurately quantifying small CO2 emissions. The release also provided an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of mobile CH4 and CO2 detection technologies and other detection technologies. Available sensor detection limits and sampling rates were found to be significant limitations for adequate gas detection for many of the mobile and other detection technologies deployed. Greater success was found with a hyperspectral imager, which was able to clearly image the CH4 release in real time from 100 m distance. Finally, it was demonstrated that a TDLAS laser, equipped with a laser tracking system, was able to successfully track a target on both a moving crane and unmanned aerial vehicle. This encouraging result suggests it may be possible in the future to map gas plumes using a single laser and mobile aerial reflector.

Methodologies for multibeam seabed hardness mapping in the Timor Sea - Bathymetry Grids

This dataset contains multibeam sonar bathymetry data from seabed mapping surveys on the Van Diemen Rise in the eastern Joseph Bonaparte Gulf of the Timor Sea. The survey was conducted under a Memorandum of Understanding between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) in two consecutive years 2009 (GA survey number GA-0322 and AIMS survey number SOL4934) and 2010 (GA survey number GA-0325 and AIMS survey number SOL5117). The surveys obtained detailed geological (sedimentological, geochemical, geophysical) and biological data (macro-benthic and infaunal diversity, community structure) for the banks, channels and plains to investigate relationships between the physical environment and associated biota for biodiversity prediction. The surveys also provide Arafura-Timor Sea, and wider northern Australian marine region context for the benthic biodiversity of the Van Diemen Rise. Four study areas were investigated across the outer to inner shelf. Refer to the GA record 'Methodologies for seabed substrate characterisation using multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, and video data: A case study for the Eastern Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, Northern Australia' for further information on processing techniques applied (GeoCat: 74092; GA Record: 2013/11).

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sj56-09)

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.

NT P1268 Dunmarra 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 NT P1268 Dunmarra Doserate Grid Geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 91m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Dunmarra, NT, 2014. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2014 by the NT Government, and consisted of 104017 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.
