Cooper GBA groundwater bore sampling report and field parameters for samples from the Eromanga Basin (GAB) and Lake Eyre Basin (Cenozoic) aquifers.


## **Abstract** 
Groundwater samples were obtained from the Cooper Basin, Eromanga Basin and Lake Eyre Basin as part of Stage 3 of the Cooper GBA project. The Eromanga Basin is a part of the Great Artesian Basin. Evans et al. (2020) and Holland et al. (2020) provide detail on hydrogeology of the Cooper GBA region.  In total 39 samples were collected from a range of hydrogeological settings in two field campaigns. One field campaign focussed on obtaining groundwater samples from bores drawing groundwater from Eromanga Basin and overlying Lake Eyre Basin (LBWCo (2020), Dataset 1). Reservoir water samples were collected by petroleum companies on behalf of the GBA program (Dataset 2). Where possible the samples were clustered to provide hydrochemical information at various depths. The locations of bores that were sampled are outlined in Figure 3.  The sample dataset (Dataset 3, and Dataset 4) is comprised of: – Sixteen from shallow sub-artesian aquifers either the Winton Formation or the Cenozoic Lake Eyre Basin (bores less than 100 m deep). – Thirteen deep GAB bores (sample depths from 1100 to 2070 m).  – Ten samples from petroleum wells producing from deep hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Cooper and Eromanga basins.  Hydrochemical analyses include: field parameters, major and minor ions, hydrocarbons, as well as environmental groundwater tracers. Environmental groundwater tracers include; Strontium isotopes, noble gases including 4He, stable isotopes of water, stable isotopes of hydrogen and carbon from methane, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), as well as radioactive tracers - tritium (3H),  Carbon 14 (14C) and Chloride 36 (36Cl).  Further infromation can be found in the fact sheet 10 available from https://www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au/gba.

Carpentaria Basin geological models derived from AusAEM (airborne electromagnetics)


## **Abstract** 
The dataset was compiled by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from source data referenced within the dataset and/or metadata. Regional Airborne Electromagnetics survey data (AusAEM) were used  to estimate the depth and thickness of the Carpentaria Basin where it overlies the Beetaloo GBA region. Models derived from AEM data represent thickness and extent of clay rich lithologies within the Carpentaria Basin sequence and overlying Cenozoic (when present) rather than the whole of the Carpentaria Basin.  Areas with clay rich lithologies would have tendency to impede recharge. For further information see Fact sheet 6 available from https://www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au/gba.

Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program


## **History** 
The geological surface models were created by interpolating point depth estimates from from AusAEM depth estimates  for Beetaloo GBA) using ArcGIS. Models derived from AEM data represent thickness and extent of clay rich lithologies within the Carpentaria basin sequence and overlying Cenozoic (when present) rather than the whole of the Carpentaria Grids were interpolated using the Natural Neighbour methodology.

Base Station installed at One Tree Island as part of the Facility for the Automated Intelligent Monitoring of Marine Systems - FAIMMS

The base station for the sensor network is located on water tank tower at the Orpheus Island Research Station run by the University of Sydney. 

The base station collects data from the outlying sensor stations (RP1-RP3) within the lagoon of One Tree Island as well as having a LiCor 192 PAR sensor.

The base station consists of a Campbell Scientific CR1000 logger that talks back to the mainland via a 5m mast located on the top of the tower and a Cybertec nextG modem, and to the rest of the equipment in the lagoon via a 900 MHz spread-spectrum Campbell RF411 radio.

The station is powered off the research station power supply but has its own solar panel and battery supply in case of power outages.

Available Water Capacity for Australian Areas of Intensive Agriculture of Layer 1 (A-Horizon – Top-Soil)

    

Surface of predicted Available Soil Water Holding Capacity of layer 1 (A
Horizon a Top-soil) surface for the intensive agricultural areas of Australia.
Data modelled from area based observations made by soil agencies both State
and CSIRO and presented as 0.01 degree grid cells. Available water capacity
(AWC) is a measure of the store of water available for plants to use. AWC is
presented here as the estimated total for the horizon, measured in millimetres
(mm). The amount of water that is held by the soil varies according to a
number of soil properties including, soil texture, organic matter content,
bulk density and soil structure development. Available water capacity has been
calculated as the difference in volumetric water content at 0.1 bar and 15 bar
(matric potentials of -10 kPa and -1.5 mPa) for each layer. These represent
respectively the field capacity (maximum water content following free
drainage) and the permanent wilting point (lower limit of soil moisture
available to plants). The final ASRIS polygon attributed surfaces are a mosaic
of all of the data obtained from various state and federal agencies. The
surfaces have been constructed with the best available soil survey information
available at the time. The surfaces also rely on a number of assumptions. One
being that an area weighted mean is a good estimate of the soil attributes for
that polygon or map-unit. Another assumption made is that the look-up tables
provided by McKenzie et al. (2000), state and territories accurately depict
the soil attribute values for each soil type. The digital map data is provided
in geographical coordinates based on the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84)
datum. This raster data set has a grid resolution of 0.001 degrees
(approximately equivalent to 1.1 km). The data set is a product of the
National Land and Water Resources Audit (NLWRA) as a base dataset.

Australian Ship Reporting System and Automatic Identification System - Shipping Summaries - 1999-2015

This data is a combination of records held by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.  From 1999 to 2011 Australia shipping was tracked through the Australian Ship Reporting System (AUSREP). From 2012 onward this changed to the Automatic Identification System (AIS). The data presented here are summaries of the tracks of vessels between the points identified by either AUSREP or AIS, summarised to the number of KM per 0.1 deg grid square.

The AIS is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio broadcasting system which enables AIS equipped vessels and shore-based stations to send and receive identifying information.

This information can:

be displayed on a computer or chart plotter
aid in situational awareness
provide a means to assist in collision avoidance.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) defines AIS as a ship and shore based broadcast system, operating in the VHF maritime band.

The AIS can handle over 2,000 reports per minute and may update information as often as every two seconds.

https://www.amsa.gov.au/navigation/services/ais/

Australian Ship Reporting System (AUSREP) is a ship reporting system designed to contribute to the safety of life at sea and is operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) through the Australian Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC Australia) in Canberra. Participation in AUSREP is mandatory for certain ships but most other commercial ships participate voluntarily. Shipmasters send a position report each day at a convenient time nominated by the ship, the maximum time between any two reports is not to exceed 24 hours. The data is used as reference material only, designed to indicate shipping lanes and the number of vessels moving through Australian waters. AUSREP commenced in 1973 in line with Australia's obligations under the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) as a ship reporting system and is operated by AMSA through the RCC Australia in Canberra.
