GSWA Southern Cross elevation grid geodetic

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point- or line-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This GSWA Southern Cross elevation grid geodetic is elevation data for the Southern Cross, WA, 1995-96 (Fugro). This survey was acquired under the project No. 1051 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 51m).  This grid contains the ground elevation relative to the geoid for the Southern Cross, WA, 1995-96 (Fugro). It represents the vertical distance from a location on the Earth's surface to the geoid. The data are given in units of meters. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

Inverted transtensional basin setting for gold and copper and base metal deposits at Cobar, New South Wales

The Cobar Basin in western New South Wales formed by sinistral transtension in the latest Silurian to late Early Devonian and evolved through a syn-rift phase of brittle upper crustal faulting and subsidence followed by a post-rift sag phase of passive subsidence which can also be recognised in other Early Devonian stratotectonic elements in western New South Wales. Basin evolution was controlled by regional faults splaying off the Gilmore Suture and the Kiewa Fault. The Cobar Basin was largely inverted - 400 Ma ago with reversal of movement (dextral transpression) on synsedimentary north-northwest-trending strike-slip/oblique-slip faults and on west-northwest-trending dip-slip faults. These faults controlled the partitioning of deformation in surface rocks into a high-strain Zone I developed above a half positive flower structure in the eastern part of the basin, and a lower strain Zone 2 developed above a flat detachment in the central part of the basin. Shortcut faults developed during inversion are the most likely structural targets for sulphide and gold accumulation which is structurally controlled and syntectonic metahydrothermal in origin. Some of these faults have experienced strike-slip faulting as well as contractional movement.

Ord Valley AEM Interpretation Project - ATLAS of Carlton Hill and Parrys Lagoon

In 2008, the Ord Irrigation Cooperative commissioned an airborne electromagnetics (AEM) survey of the ORIA Stage 1 and 2 areas to identify, quantify and understand any potential salinity risks in the current Ord irrigation area and the parts of the catchment that have been identified as potential future irrigation sites or potentially impacted by future irrigation. The project has been funded by the Australian and Western Australian governments through the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. Geoscience Australia and CSIRO were contracted to carry out the analysis and interpretation of the AEM dataset, and produce customised interpretation products.
Some of the more specific questions it was hoped to address included:
- Are we at risk of salinity in the Ord Catchment?
- If so what areas are at the greatest risk?
- Where can we target management to reduce this risk?
- How can we plan future development to minimise salinity risk and maximise longevity of projects?
The areas surveyed include the current Stage 1 Ord Irrigation Area, Stage 2 Irrigation Area (including Weaber and Knox Plains and Carlton Hill - Parry's Lagoon Conservation Area.  The inclusion of undeveloped land in this survey is because the technology provides the opportunity to ensure any future irrigation development is guided by the best available information on soil type, aquifer quality and location and salinity risk. 
The information generated by this project will be publicly available and can be used for such things as: 
- Identifying leaky areas in the landscape that may require more concentrated management or can be designated for more suitable land use;
- Where salt is stored in the landscape and at what depth, and where in the landscape it may influence plant growth;
- Provide new constraints on the connectivity of aquifer systems in 3D across the ORIA and enable the construction of more realistic hydrogeological models to improve surface and groundwater management.

Building partnerships and sharing geoscience knowledge with First Nations Australians for managing Country

Output Type: Exploring for the Future Extended Abstract

Short Abstract: The last three decades have seen growing investment in land management by First Nations Australians across the continent, arising from increases in formally recognised rights and interests of First Nations Australian peoples in land and waters and the demonstrated environmental, economic and social benefits of their natural resource management. The Exploring for the Future program worked with three types of organisations—a Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC), a First Nations ranger program and a land council—to learn how geoscience knowledge and data can support First Nations Australians in managing Country. The Nguddaboolgan Native Title Aboriginal Corporation, the Lake Eyre Basin Rangers and the Anindilyakwa Land Council all shared their perspectives and priorities in managing Country. Soil geoscience, groundwater and Earth observation from satellites emerged as three themes under which geoscience data and knowledge could be shared in new ways for environmental, economic and community benefits. New partnerships with First Nations groups were established which developed clear pathways for geoscience data and information to address First Nations peoples’ priorities in caring for Country.

U-K-A. Cabawin East No. 1, Queensland Of Union Oil Development Corporation Kern County Land Company And Australian Oil And Gas Corporation Limited

Union-Kern-A.O.G. Cabawin East No. 1 was drilled by Union Oil Development Corporation, Kern County Land Company, and Australian Oil and Gas Corporation Limited in the Surat Basin, Queensland, 4.8 miles on a bearing 0800 from Cabawin No. 1 Well. The test was undertaken to investigate the possibility that the sub-commercial oil-bearing sand in Cabawin No. 1 might have a thicker development towards the east.
The well was spudded in on 18th July, 1961, and penetrated a veneer of Tertiary; the Roma, Blythesdale, Walloon and Bundamba Formations of the Great Artesian Group; and the Cabawin, Kianga, and Back Creek Formations of the Bowen Group. Minor gas shows were encountered in coaly strata in the Blythesdale and Walloon Formations. Several small methane gas shows were indicated in sandstones of the Blythesdale, Walloon, and Bundamba Formations. Some very small gas showings were obtained through the Cabawin, Kianga and Back Creek Formations. Scattered oil fluorescence was noted from 6370 feet to total depth at 12,091 feet, but there were no important shows. The well indicated that the producing Kianga sand of Cabawin No. 1 was too silty in the Cabawin East location to be a reservoir. Cabawin East No. 1 was abandoned on 17th October, 1961.
