AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sh49-03)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

NSW DMR, Discovery 2000, AREA U, SOUTHERN PEEL, NSW 2001 (P758), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 This NSW DMR, Discovery 2000, AREA U, SOUTHERN PEEL, NSW 2001 (P758), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 2001 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 31584 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 80m 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 Green Steel Economic Fairways Mapper

Hydrogen-based iron and steel production could reduce global carbon emissions. However, the opportunities and challenges presented by this technology are obscured as its cost competitiveness depends on multiple industrial processes, each with various feedstock requirements, storage options, and supporting infrastructure. To address this problem, we have developed the Green Steel Economic Fairways Mapper. This free, online tool models the costs of hydrogen-based green ironmaking and steelmaking, and maps cost variations across Australia. The Mapper combines large-scale infrastructure and geoscience datasets to provide a high-level, geospatial analysis of the economic viability of hypothetical green steel projects. It creates a new capability within Australia—filling the void before the detail and expense of feasibility studies—to understand the broad contours of the decarbonization challenge, and to inform early-stage decision making in the pursuit of low-carbon steel.
&nbsp;
The Mapper optimizes system capacities for renewable energy generation, battery storage, hydrogen electrolysis, and hydrogen storage to estimate the levelized costs of green iron or green steel. Our modelled costs, under our preferred 2025 technology cost assumptions, are shown in Figure 1. Regions in southern and central Western Australia have the lowest cost estimates, with similar potential modelled for South Australia, western Victoria, and northern Queensland. The key drivers vary across regions. For instance, central Australia has complimentary renewable energy characteristics but is limited by transportation costs. As a tool, the Mapper also allows users to refine their own key assumptions, or to quickly model different scenarios. In this manner the Mapper creates an open capability for Australian industry, government, and the public to assess domestic green steel production potential.

L174 Broken Hill 2D Seismic Survey , NSW, 2005 Stacked and Migrated seismic data and images for lines 05GA-BH1 and 05GA-BH1EXP

The 2005 Broken Hill High Resolution 2D Seismic Survey, contracted to Terrex Seismic Pty Ltd for ANSIR (Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource) and New South Wales Department of Primary Industries - Mineral Resources. The survey operation was located approximately 6km north east of the town of Broken Hill in western New South Wales. 
The high resolution 120 fold seismic reflection survey was carried out in August 2005 along a 12 km portion of the seismic line 96AGS-BH1B in the Broken Hill region that was recorded by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) in 1996-97. The purpose of the new survey was to compare high resolution seismic data with low fold explosive seismic data along the same line and to image geological structures at shallow crustal levels. Two HEMI-60 Vibroseis trucks were used as sources. A total of 12.2 km of 120 fold seismic reflection data were acquired to 16 s TWT, except for the last 2 km of the profile where the fold was decreased to 60.
Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au
