AUSGeoid09: a more direct and more accurate model for converting ellipsoidal heights to AHD heights

In an absolute sense, AUSGeoid09 is an order of magnitude more accurate than AUSGeoid98 at converting ellipsoidal heights to Australian Height Datum (AHD) heights and vice versa. Results of this study show AUSGeoid09 can be used to compute AHD heights from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ellipsoidal heights with an uncertainty of less than +0.03 m (one sigma). The improvement is largely due to the inclusion of a geometric component in AUSGeoid09 that accounts for the spatially varying offset between a gravimetric quasigeoid model and the AHD. This geometric component was calculated using least squares collocation in cross validation mode and then added to the gravimetric quasigeoid. Although previous AUSGeoid models were used to convert GNSS ellipsoidal heights to the AHD and vice versa, none until now have accounted for the gravimetric quasigeoid to AHD offsets. This offset is a consequence of how the AHD was realised and has commonly resulted in misfits of *0.5 m or more. When used with GNSS technology, AUSGeoid09 can
replace the need for traditional third-order levelling (Class LC; 12&radic;k) in many situations. Relative tests of AUSGeoid09 over a continent-wide set of over 20 million baselines showed that it can deliver better than Class LC tolerances in 99 percent of cases. The model accepts a user's GDA94 latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height and returns an AHD height and deviations of the vertical. AUSGeoid09 is now available free-of-charge on the Geoscience Australia website (http://www.ga.gov.au/geodesy/ausgeoid/nvalcomp).

GSNSW Exploration NSW Area W Oaklands Basin uranium 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.
This radiometric uranium grid has a cell size of 0.00099 degrees (approximately 100m) and shows uranium element concentration of the Oaklands Basin, NSW, 2002 (Area W) in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2002 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 54352 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Vulnerability of Australian Houses to Riverine Inundation : Analytical and empirical vulnerability curves

Vulnerability functions, that relate damage to hazard magnitude are used in risk and impact assessments, mitigation studies and associated cost benefit analyses. The development of vulnerability functions must address the variety of assets exposed to the hazard of interest and the common scarcity of empirical data to calibrate any functions developed using heuristic or analytical methods.
This record reports efforts to improve the knowledge of the vulnerability of Australian domestic housing to riverine inundation. The research is focussed on housing types found in the south-east of Queensland although the results can be applied to houses of similar type elsewhere in Australia.
In order to address the wide variety of housing types found in the Australian built environment, in this research representative generic housing types are identified from surveyed building exposure. Analytical vulnerability relationships are developed for each from assessments of repair works at different inundation depths. Finally, the analytical vulnerability curves are compared to empirical data derived from repair costs reported by postal surveys of dwellings affected by flooding in Brisbane-Ipswich, January 2011, and Bundaberg, January 2013.
Analytical vulnerability curves are presented for twelve generic housing types and two insurance regimes. The process of developing vulnerability curves analytically is compared to empirical data. The empirical data shows that for insured houses, the analytically derived vulnerability curves provide a reasonable estimate of direct losses. However, for uninsured houses the analytical vulnerability curves are shown to overestimate direct losses. The difference may be due to uninsured residents tolerating a greater level of residual damage or undertaking repairs themselves at cheaper rates than those assumed for the analytical work.
Although the results display variability, the empirical data indicate that the presented analytical methodology for constructing vulnerability curves yields reasonable curves that would be suitable for modelling impact of riverine flooding on populations of houses provided that adjustments are made to modelled losses for uninsured dwellings.

Bowen-Gunnadah-Surat Basin 3D X3D model

The Sedimentary basins of eastern Australia project undertook structural and sequence stratigraphic mapping of a regional grid of seismic reflection data in the Bowen, Gunnedah and Surat Basins (usually 4 seconds two-way travel time data, with about 15,000 line km of data on about 1200 individual seismic lines). The seismic mapping was used to define the interplate and intraplate tectonic events that have helped to create the accommodation space and also to define the stratal geometry of the sedimentary units. Thus, the mapping provided the overall geometry of the basin system as well as the geometry of several of the sequence boundaries, resulting in the development of a new sequence stratigraphic framework for the basins. These results were also compiled into a series of structure contour and isopach maps, which have been used to build a 3D geological map of the Bowen Gunnedah and Surat Basins.
