Port Augusta 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

Westmoreland, Qld, 2007 (P1147), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 These line dataset from the Westmoreland, Qld, 2007 survey were acquired in 2006 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 60570 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Isostasy and structure of the lower crust and upper mantle in the Precambrian terrains of northwest Australia, from regional gravity studies

Published seismic models for the northwest region of Australia are somewhat at variance with proposed isostatic models for the region. Two density models are examined to explain the difference. In one, the thick, low-density crust of the Yilgarn Craton is compensated at depth by a region of high-density upper mantle rocks, and in the other the composition of the Yilgarn Craton is slightly more iron rich (either at the base or to a lesser extent throughout) than the crust of the Pilbara Craton. A compromise model is preferred in which the crust, particularly in the Yilgarn Craton, is chemically stratified with the denser, more basic rocks at the base. In this model the upper mantle under the Yilgarn Craton is denser than that under the Pilbara Craton and isostatic equilibrium is reached at depths greater than the base of the crust. The differences in the crust or the mantle throughout the region provide more evidence that the cratons had separate evolutionary histories. The upper mantle under the Pilbara Craton may be less dense than that under the Yilgarn Craton because of iron depletion, and may have been the source of iron for the basic volcanics and banded iron formations in the Hamersley Basin, which overlies the Pilbara Craton.

Preliminary geological report on the Tennyson No. 1 uranium prospect, Edith River area, Northern Territory

At Tennyson's No. 1 Prospect, 4 miles W.S.W. of Edith Siding, Geiger counts ranging from 4 to 10 times background were obtained at nine places in two shear zones in granite. The radioactive material is confined to narrow bands of hematitic lode material in and adjacent to narrow brecciated bands. At all localities a uranium-bearing mineral, probably meta-autunite, was present as a white film, which fluoresced bright green under ultra-violet light, on fracture surfaces. At the northern most locality some flakes of a green micaceous mineral, probably meta-torbernite, were observed. The lode formation has a total length of approximately 500 feet, is mainly 1.5 to 4 inches wide, evidencing to 18 inches over short lengths. The deposits having counts greater than four times background are mostly less than 3 feet long but two are approximately 20 feet in length. Assay samples were taken at the larger deposits. From examination under ultra-violet light it appears that the uranium content of the lode material will increase at a depth of a few inches below the surface. The deposits at Tennyson's No.1 Prospect appear to be too small and too low in grade to be profitably worked unless the grade improves considerably at depth.

Urapunga Velkerri 2, NT, 1994 (P622), 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 Urapunga Velkerri 2, NT, 1994 (P622), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1994 by the NT Government, and consisted of 91316 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 100m 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.

Wastewater irrigation and groundwater quality protection

Nutrients in wastewaters from some municipal sewage treatment plants and intensive rural industries have contributed to water quality problems in Australian rivers and estuaries. Concern over toxic algae and eutrophication has accelerated the trend from direct disposal of wastewaters into water bodies to disposal onto land.  The underlying principle is to allow pastures, crops or trees to consume the nutrients and water. In theory, this turns a problem into a commercial opportunity. However, wastewater irrigation must be appropriately sited, well-designed, and well-managed, if we are not to trade a surface water problem for a groundwater problem. This paper describes current practices and guidelines (and a weakness they have in common) and a proposed approach to groundwater quality protection for wastewater irrigation sites.

Cooper Basin region: Eromanga Basin groundwater package

Publicly available groundwater data have been compiled to provide a common information base to inform environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the Cooper Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used. The data package included with this data guide captures existing knowledge of Eromanga Basin aquifers and their properties, including salinity, water levels, resource size, potential aquifer yield and surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for all Eromanga Basin aquifers in the Cooper Basin region are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptualisation models (Gouramanis et al., 2023).
The Eromanga Basin overlying the Cooper Basin includes 5 broadly defined aquifer intervals: from deepest to shallowest, these are the Poolowanna, Hutton, Adori, Cadna-owie-Hooray and Winton-Mackunda aquifers. Compiled data are assigned to these intervals and used to characterise groundwater systems at the basin scale.
The data were compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on potential resource developments in the Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater. The data can also be used for other purposes, such as exploring unallocated groundwater resource potential. Data to January 2022 are used for this compilation.

Hiltaba Suite magma composition: a regional-scale guide to location of Cu-Au versus Au-only mineralisation

A detailed mapping and geochemical and geochronological study of the Hiltaba Suite in the Tarcoola Region, South Australia, shows significant greater variation in composition than is allowable under the definition of Suite. By extending this work into the rest of the Gawler Craton using existing datasets, the Hiltaba &#145;suite&#146; can be shown to be co-magmatic with the Gawler Range Volcanics. Together the magmatic rocks are grouped as the Gawler Range-Hiltaba Volcano-Plutonic event, and the intrusives themselves grouped as the Hiltaba Association Granitoids. A four-fold Supersuite classification is applied to both the intrusive and extrusive units. A great variation in compositions within the GRHVP reflects source and emplacement conditions. These variations can be correlated to different mineralisation styles observed in the Central Gawler Gold Province and the Olympic Copper-Gold Province.

GSWA Carnarvon Basin North Magnetic 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 GSWA Carnarvon Basin North Magnetic Grid Geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 89m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2011 by the WA Government, and consisted of 107266 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Lord Howe Island feeding guild spreadsheet

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Lord Howe Island shelf (NSW) in 2008 (SS06_2008) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments and infauna, rock coring, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video, and measurement of ocean tides and wave generated currents. Subbottom profile data was also collected to map sediment thickness and shelf stratigraphy. Data and samples were acquired using the National Facility Research Vessel Southern Surveyor. Bathymetric data from this survey was merged with other preexisting bathymetric data (including LADS) to generate a grid covering 1034 sq km. As part of a separate Geoscience Australia survey in 2007 (TAN0713), an oceanographic mooring was deployed on the northern edge of Lord Howe Island shelf. The mooring was recovered during the 2008 survey following a 6 month deployment.
