Eucla Central Gravity Ellipsoid Height Geodetic

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This Eucla Central Gravity Ellipsoid Height Geodetic is elevation data for the Eucla Central Gravity Survey (P201163). This survey was acquired under the project No. 201163 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.005 degrees (approximately 516m).  This grid contains the ground elevation relative to the ellipsoid for the Eucla Central Gravity Survey (P201163). It represents the vertical distance from a location on the Earth's surface to the ellipsoid. The data are given in units of meters. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

GSQ Isa Georgetown Block B Qld dose rate 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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This GSQ Isa Georgetown Block B Qld dose rate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00048 degrees (approximately 52m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Isa-Georgetown Block B, QLD, 2000, Prospectivity Plus Initiative. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2000 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 42035 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 80m terrain clearance.

Tracking changes in Australia’s water resources in Northern Australia

The focus of this project is to use data from space gravity missions to track changes in total water storage in northern Australia and to investigate the viability of this approach for monitoring Australia’s water resources. The specific objective of the project is to “develop time series of changes in total water storage across northern Australia to provide insights into changes in water resources.”
Data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission was analysed for the period January 2003 to August 2016 and monthly estimates of changes (relative to a mean gravity field value in 2008) were developed. The analysis was done using the ANU GRACE software, which has been developed specifically to enable estimates to be tailored to the pattern and shape of Australian drainage basins. Estimates in irregularly shaped regions of approximately 90,000 km2 have been provided, along with visualisation tools to enable time series of total water storage changes to be made.
This package contains: 
1) Final report provided to Geoscience Australia by ANU
2) GRACE total water storage change dataset
The dataset includes the original data provided by ANU as well as images/video derived from the data to help with visualisation.
 a) ANU_iter2_australia.nc: the total water storage changes estimate from GRACE satellite gravity mission measurements
 b) BOM-final.nc, GLDAS-CLSM-final.nc, GLDAS-NOAH-final-nc: the canopy, snow and soil water storage changes estimate from hydrological models
 c) mascons_stage5_V004_australia: the mascon file describing the geometry of the mascon grid over australia
 d) plot_ewh_time_series.py, plot_soil_moisture_time_series.py and plot_gw_time_series.py: python scripts allowing to plot time series of total water storage, canopy, snow or soil water storage and groundwater storage for any latitude, longitude in Australia
 e) map_mascons_australia.py and map_ewh_australia.py: python scripts to create maps of the mascon geometry and ewh anomaly
 f) monthly images of the total water storage and videos depicting changes for each month over the years (2003-2016) and video with all months stitched together.
Geoscience Australia commissioned the work as part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF)—an eight year, $225 million Australian Government funded geoscience data and information acquisition program focused on better understanding the potential mineral, energy and groundwater resources across Australia.

The challenges of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in stable continental interiors - an Australian example

In stable continental regions (SCR) the undertaking of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment remains a scientific and technical challenge. There is no seismo-tectonic model, akin to the plate tectonic model, to explain seismicity and guide source zonation, ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) selection, recurrence statistics estimation or MMAX selection. A model of seismicity being episodic, in regions of stable continental crust, has emerged in recent years. This model is consistent with Australian seismological, geological and geodetic data and is used to guide the zonation for a new national seismic hazard map of Australia. The selection of MMAX is based on the analysis of fault scarps from palaeo-earthquakes, with MMAX thought to between geological domains 
The heterogeneous Australian catalogue, arising from: the variability between magnitude scales, (particularly at regional distances &gt;250km), sparse networks and poorly constrained Mc, results in high epistemic uncertainty in the recurrence parameters a &amp; b. To account for changes in magnitude scales around 1990, the magnitudes of pre-1990 earthquakes have been empirically corrected. Due to the heterogeneous catalogue and small numbers of earthquakes, existing methods (e.g. Maximum Likelihood) for estimating frequency-magnitude recurrence parameters (a &amp; b) were found to be unstable. To overcome these problems, a new method, that removes outlier earthquakes before applying a least squares regression , was developed.
The sensitivity of PSHA to MMAX, zone boundaries, recurrence parameters and GMPEs was examined. The hazard was insensitive to MMAX in the identified range (e.g. 7.2-7.6 in non-extended SCR and 7.4-7.8 in extended SCR).   The uncertainty in recurrence parameters was found to contribute similar variation in hazard as the epistemic uncertainty associated with the different GMPEs used in this study. For sites near zone boundaries, a similar variation in hazard was observed by reasonable changes in the position of the boundary. Aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty in GMPEs are routinely incorporated in PSHAs, as is variation in MMAX. However, the uncertainty in recurrence parameters and zone boundaries are normally ignored.

Mapping Australia’s hydrogen future – release of the Hydrogen Economic Fairways Tool

Hydrogen can be used for a variety of domestic and industrial purposes such as heating and cooking (as a replacement for natural gas), transportation (replacing petrol and diesel), and energy storage (by converting intermittent renewable energy into hydrogen). The key benefit of using hydrogen is that it is a clean fuel that emits only water vapour and heat when combusted. 
To support implementation of the National Hydrogen Strategy, Geoscience Australia in collaboration with Monash University are releasing the Hydrogen Economic Fairways Tool (HEFT). HEFT is a free online tool designed to support decision making by policymakers and investors on the location of new infrastructure and development of hydrogen hubs in Australia. It considers both hydrogen produced from renewable energy and from fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage. 
Tune in to this seminar to discover HEFT’s capabilities, its potential to attract worldwide investment into Australia’s hydrogen industry, and what’s up next for hydrogen at Geoscience Australia.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: (se57-13)

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.

GSSA Torrens ReducedToPole grid geodetic

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.
This magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 83653 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey.

Australian petroleum accumulations report. Canning Basin, Western Australia

As at January 1993, nineteen hydrocarbon accumulations, six of which are commercial, have been discovered in the Canning Basin. The commercial accumulations occur in Permian to Devonian reservoirs on an area of relatively shallow basement (Lennard Shelf) flanking the northern margin of the Fitzroy Trough. Oil is produced from Famennian reefs, associated drape structures, and four-way dip closures in Permo-carboniferous, Grant Group and Anderson Formation sandstones. The most likely sources of these hydrocarbons are Late Devonian and Carboniferous marine shales in the Fitzroy Trough kitchen area. 
The small size of the accumulations in the Canning basin (less than 0.5 million barrels of recoverable oil) precludes the development of large infrastructure projects. Oil is trucked to the storage and shiploading facilities at Broome and then shipped to the Kwinana oil refinery in Western Australia.
On the southern margin of the Fitzroy Trough, oil and gas have been recovered from a transgressive Ordovician sequence of sandstones shales and carbonates. Although the Ordovician has yet to yield a commercial discovery, Devonian reef plays in the overlying section may enhance the attractiveness of Ordovician objectives in this area.
To date, exploration effort in the basin has been largely directed to the northern, onshore Canning Basin. The offshore Canning and the Kidson Sub-basin remain underexplored.  Higher risk plays in these areas have yet to be adequately tested.
