What lies beneath the Antarctic Ice?

During the summer of 2003-2004, six scientists and technicians spent over a month camped on the Amery Ice Shelf in eastern Antarctica. The aim of their stay was to drill through several hundreds of metres of ice beneath their feet to reach the ocean cavity below.  Through this drill hole they were then able to lower instruments through the ice shelf, to study a part of the ocean which never sees the light of day.  This activity explores what they found and enables students to use real data to establish what really does lie beneath the ice.  Teacher answers provided.

Australian Marine Video and Imagery

Unlike land based environments, relatively little is known about what the seafloor around Australia looks like or has living on it. Geoscience Australia undertakes a range of marine surveys to improve the understanding and the management of Australia's marine environments. One component of the research involves the use a towed video system to directly observe coastal and deep sea environments and identify what habitats occur there and the organisms that live there. In some regions these surveys build on existing knowledge, but in many areas, particularly in deep offshore sites, these devices provide the first images of the seafloor.

This data package includes towed video and still images acquired on GA surveys from 2007 onwards. Between 2007 and 2013, this included 21 marine surveys (including Antarctic waters).

Using a winch on the ship, the video system is lowered to 1-2 metres above the seafloor and then towed along at 1-2 knots. This speed and altitude allows the video camera to record sharp images of the seafloor while covering distances of up to 1-2 km. Video footage is sent up a cable to the ship so it can be viewed in real time. The hours of footage collected on the seafloor provide a wealth of information about the geological features, habitats and life forms occurring throughout Australia's marine jurisdiction.

Adavale Basin stratigraphic drilling project: Water supply bore RN211534 data acquisition and processing report

The Adavale Basin Stratigraphic Drilling Project is part of a pre-competitive stratigraphic drilling and geoscience research program designed to answer fundamental science questions and assess the minerals, energy, groundwater and underground storage potential of the Adavale Basin of central Queensland. The new drilling data will be assessed along with existing chemostratigraphic, seismic, airborne electromagnetic and airborne gravity gradiometry datasets derived from Geoscience Australia’s Trusted Environmental and Geological Information (TEGI) Program, and legacy industry data, as part of the Data Driven Discoveries (DDD) program and Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity initiative. The combined data will provide new pre-competitive information on the likelihood of discovering large halite deposits in the Adavale Basin with the potential to support the geological storage of hydrogen as part of a future low carbon economy and the Australian Government’s net zero plan. The project was undertaken in collaboration with the Queensland Government represented by the Geological Survey of Queensland.



Authority to drill the stratigraphic borehole was obtained under the Queensland<em> Mineral Resources Act 1989</em> as part of Exploration Permit for Minerals other than coal 29109 (EPM 29109). Aztech Well Construction were the holder and operator of EPM 29109 on Geoscience Australia’s behalf. 



In August 2025, Aztech commissioned a new water bore into the Eromanga Basin to supply drilling water for a separate deep stratigraphic borehole into the Adavale Basin. The new water bore is licensed under the Queensland <em>Water Act 2000</em> as Registered Number (RN) 211534.

Frontier Basins of the West Australian Continental Margin: Post-survey Report of Marine Reconnaissance and Geological Sampling Survey GA2476

This report (Record 2009/38) contains the description and preliminary analysis of datasets acquired during Geoscience Australia marine reconnaissance survey GA2476 to the west Australian margin. The survey, completed as part of the Federal Government's Offshore Energy Program, was undertaken between 25 October 2008 and 19 January 2009 using the German research vessel RV Sonne. The survey acquired geological, geophysical, oceanographic and biological data over poorly known areas of Australia's western continental margin. Data from the marine reconnaissance survey (GA2476) and the concordant regional seismic survey (GA0310) will improve knowledge of frontier sedimentary basins and marginal plateaus and allow assessment of their petroleum prospectivity and environmental significance. These data will be used to improve resource management and underpin decisions regarding future acreage release in offshore Western Australia and marine zone management.

Four key areas were targeted: the Zeewyck and Houtman sub-basins (Perth Basin), the Cuvier margin (northwest of the Southern Carnarvon Basin), and the Cuvier Plateau (a sub-feature of the Wallaby Plateau). Over the duration of the survey a total of 229,000 km2 (26,500 line-km) of seabed was mapped with the multi-beam sonar, 25,000 line-km of digital shallow seismic reflection data and 25,000 line-km of gravity and magnetic data.  A variety of sampling equipment was deployed over the duration of the survey, including ocean floor observation systems (OFOS), deep-sea TV controlled grab (BODO), boxcores, rock dredges, conductivity-temperature-depth profilers (CTD) and epibenthic sleds.  A total of 62 stations were examined throughout the survey, including 16 over the Houtman Sub-basin, 16 over the Zeewyck Sub-basin, 13 in the Cuvier margin, 12 over the Cuvier Plateau and four in the Indian Ocean.  This report is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the survey activities, equipment used and preliminary results form survey GA2476.

D.F.S. No. 1 Betoota, Queensland Of Delhi-Frome-Santos

The Betoota No. 1 well was drilled by Delhi Australian Petroleum Ltd, Frome-Broken Hill Company Pty Ltd, and Santos Limited, in far southwest Queensland to a total depth of 9,824 feet. Drilling was commenced on 22nd December 1959 and the well was completed on 18th April 1960 as a dry hole. The rig used was a National 130 owned by Delta Drilling Company. Delhi Australian Petroleum Ltd, as the operating company, supplied the supervisory, engineering, and geological personnel. A comprehensive programme to obtain all data relative to the hydrocarbon potential of the strata penetrated by the drill bit and stratigraphic information concerning the geological history of the area was diligently carried out. The operation also provided for a complete programme of electric and mud logging, testing and coring, carried out by the operating company and their contracted service
companies.

The Betoota No. 1 well established the presence of 5,757 feet of Mesozoic strata overlying 4,067 feet of sediments of probable Palaeozoic age at the site of the bore hole. Several showings of hydrocarbons were detected in sediments between 4,400 feet and 5,757 feet. Mter testing and examination of all evidence, they were considered to be noncommercial. From 3,450 feet to 5,757 feet some zones exhibiting very good porosity were encountered, but all were found to be water-bearing. Shales of both marine and brackishwater origin, regarded as suitable source rocks, occurred in the well between 1,350 feet and 3,245 feet and between 5,000 feet and 5,757 feet. The rest of the section penetrated was
composed of sediments whose origin did not suggest conditions of accumulation likely to foster the generation of fluid hydrocarbons.
