Modelling Residential Mitigation Effectiveness for Severe Wind

Modelling the effectiveness of retrofit to legacy houses requires a quantitative estimate of the houses’ vulnerability to severe wind and how the vulnerability is affected by mitigation work. Historical approaches to estimating vulnerability through either heuristic or empirical methods do not quantitatively capture the change in vulnerability afforded by mitigation. To address this information gap the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC project “Improving the Resilience of Existing Housing to Severe Wind Events” has augmented a software tool which models damage from wind loads and associated repair cost. In this paper the development process is described including the establishment of a suite of test cases to assess the effectiveness of the software. An example of the validation work is presented along with the augmentation of the software from the previous version. Finally, use of the software in assessing the incremental effectiveness of a range of mitigation strategies in economic terms is described.
Abstract submitted to/presented at the19th Australasian Wind Engineering Society Workshop.

Australian mineral industry : the mineral deposits

The aim of this Bulletin is to provide a reference volume outlining Australia's mineral resources. As far as possible, all known deposits of actual or potential economic importance, and deposits or fields from which production has been recorded in the past, are listed, and a brief description is given of the geology of the more important, including many which are no longer productive. The 55 chapters of this volume are in the form of summarized studies of individual minerals or groups of minerals. The treatment is necessarily brief but the reader who wishes to know more of any particular aspect of the subject will find, in the comprehensive list of references, a guide to detailed published descriptions. Production of the volume has been a co-operative effort. The work of the Bureau's team which assembled and wrote the chapters has been supplemented by data and comments received from the Mines Departments of the States and Territories. As a result this compilation represents a combined Commonwealth and State contribution to the propagation of information on the extent and variety of Australia's mineral resources. It is hoped that it will help to stimulate further mineral exploration in this country.

Organic matter in ancient ores and sediments

Organic material incorporated in an ore or a sediment may represent the resistant parts of organisms, organic compounds adsorbed on inorganic minerals, organic precipitates from chemical reactions in basin waters, or detrital grains eroded from older carbonaceous rocks. In addition, hydrocarbons may be generated elsewhere in a basin before migrating into and being retained in the rocks under consideration. During diagenesis and metamorphism under non-oxidising conditions, the chemical composition of organic matter from all sources progressively changes as volatile compounds (including carbon dioxide, water, and hydrocarbons) are evolved. All types of carbonaceous source material give graphite as the final solid product, but in various amounts, depending on their initial composition and subsequent history. Bacterial or aerial oxidation of solid organic materials is most rapid at low ranks and initially causes an increase in oxygen/carbon ratios before complete removal of carbonaceous matter is achieved. At high temperatures, oxidation by water can completely convert graphite to carbon dioxide. Data are given on the insoluble organic matter isolated by demineralisation of samples from the Red Sea, Julia Creek, McArthur River, Mount Isa, Broken Hill, Cobar, Woodlawn, Kambalda, Rum Jungle, Alligator River (Australia) and the Witwatersrand (South Africa). Most of these samples contain material, probably of algal origin, that is now at the graphitic stage of metamorphism. Organic matter from recent sediments in the Red Sea and ore-related rocks from McArthur River, Mount Isa, and Broken Hill show a progressive change in rank consistent with a syngenetic theory of ore formation. The presence (or even the absence) of carbonaceous material in an ore or sediment is a valuable parameter in reconstructing the chemical and biological environment of genesis and subsequent geological changes.

Gawler Craton iron oxide Cu-Au (-U) potential map

The map of iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) potential of the Gawler Craton, South Australia, shows the spatial distribution of key 'essential ingredients' of IOCG ore-forming systems.  These 'ingredients' include: (a) rock units of the Gawler Range-Hiltaba Volcano-Plutonic Association, subdivided by supersuite; (b) faults/shear zones subdivided by interpreted age of youngest significant movement; (c) copper geochemistry (&gt;200ppm), from drill holes intersecting crystalline basement (Mesoproterozoic and older); (d) hydrothermal alteration assemblages and zones, based on drill hole logging, potential-field interpretation, and inversion modelling of potential-field data; and (e) host sequence units considered important in localising IOCG alteration and mineralisation.  Also shown are Nd isotopic data and the mineral isotopic ages of late Palaeoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic magmatism and hydrothermal minerals.  Areas with the greatest number of 'essential ingredients' are considered to have the maximum potential for IOCG mineralisation.  IOCG potential of the Gawler Craton is shown as domains with ranks from 1 to 4, with 1 being the highest rank.  
Notes detailing the sources of data and methods used in constructing the map are provided in a separate file available on the Geoscience Australia website.

A Review of Ordovician Source Rocks, Canning Basin, Western Australia

Petroleum source rocks are found at three levels in the Ordovician sectionin the Canning Basin and appear to be at similar stratigraphic levels and ofsimilar organic facies to the source rocks which have produced the gas andgas-condensate fields in the Amadeus Basin. In both basins shallowintersections in drillholes have yielded material at a low level of thermal maturity.Samples have shown that these immature source rocks contain algal-sourcedType 1 kerogens with a high hydrogen index and a large capacity to generate oil(eg Hoffmann et al., 1987). Deeper wells in both basins encountered sourcerocks at higher levels of maturity associated in some cases with oil fluorescenceand shows of live oil. By comparing the results of Rock-Eval pyrolysis analysisfor these more mature source rocks with those of the immature rocks the degreeof kerogen conversion to hydrocarbon (the Transformation Ratio of Espitalie eta)., 1986) can be estimated. The results from 14 wells along the BroomePlatform show a rapid downward increase in transformation ratio (TR) through theOrdovician section which can be correlated to the rapid downward increase in theconodont alteration index (CAI) previously documented by Nicoll &amp; Gorter (1984).This correlation shows that the zone of peak oil generation lies between the endof CAI Zone 1 and the beginning of CAI Zone 2.
The Ordovician in the Canning Basin is known mainly from intersectionsin 22 drillholes. It is thickest in two sub-basins: the Willara, bounded to the northby the Admiral Bay Fault, and a larger unnamed sub-basin (roughly coincidentwith the later Fitzroy Trough), bounded to the north by the Oscar Range-Pinnaclefault system. Both fault systems appear to have been active during thedeposition of the Ordovician. The best known source rocks occur along thesouthern side of the northern sub-basin; they appear to be poorly developed, orabsent, in the Willara Sub-basin. Overmature source beds are locally preservedin fault remnants under the Lennard Shelf and may exist at great depth in theFitzroy Trough.

Upper Devonian ostracoda and eridostraca from the Bonaparte Gulf Basin, northwestern Australia

The Bonaparte Gulf Basin contains Palaeozoic rocks covering about 8000 square miles of land around the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf (Fig. 1); the larger part of the basin lies beneath the Timor Sea. Its landward part is truncated by a northeasterly fault zone from Precambrian rocks on the east; the southwestern margin overlaps Precambrian rocks of the Kimberley Block. The estuary of the Victoria River (Queens Channel) separates the landward part of the basin into two areas of outcrop-the southwestern area with Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian to lowermost Permian outcrops, and the northern part with Permian, possibly Lower Triassic, and Lower Cretaceous outcrops. This Bulletin describes the ostracods In the Upper Devonian fauna of the Bonaparte Gulf Basin, assesses their stratigraphical value, and is a part of the overall study of the Upper Devonian and Lower Carboniferous geology and palaeontology; it also represents the first taxonomic and biostratigraphic study of Upper Devonian Ostracoda from Australia.

Childara - Th equivalent concentration grid (AWAGS, no nasvd)

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 Geological Survey of South Australia commissioned the Gawler Craton Airborne Survey (GCAS) as part of the PACE Copper initiative. The airborne geophysical survey was flown over parts of the Gawler Craton in South Australia. The program was designed to capture new baseline geoscientific data to provide further information on the geological context and setting of the area for mineral systems (http://energymining.sa.gov.au/minerals/geoscience/pace_copper/gawler_craton_airborne_survey). 
This radiometric thorium grid has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m) and shows thorium element concentration of the Childara Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 135047 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the grid, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey grid.

SMMSP - MagSpec - St George, Qld, 2001 (P906), 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 SMMSP - MagSpec - St George, Qld, 2001 survey were acquired in 2001 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 61110 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 100m and 100m, and 60m 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.
