Sturt - Dry River, NT, 2001 (P1021), 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 Sturt - Dry River, NT, 2001 (P1021), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 2001 by the NT Government, and consisted of 45990 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m 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.

Groundwater Sampling and Analysis: A Field Guide - 2nd Edition

Groundwater supports many communities and industries and provides water for environmental assets around Australia, including rivers, springs, wetlands and groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs). Groundwater, accounts for over 30% of Australia’s total water consumption (NWC 2008) with uses including drinking, irrigation, stock supply and bottling. The demand for groundwater is steadily growing, as Australia’s industrial and agricultural development increases. Knowledge of aquifers and fundamental groundwater processes are important for managing the quantity, quality and sustainability of this resource. 
Monitoring groundwater by analysing its chemical constituents is integral to understanding groundwater systems and aids effective management. Sampling and analysing groundwater on a regular basis provides a useful tool to understand and monitor changes to groundwater systems. Depending on the purpose of monitoring, a comprehensive, fit-for-purpose, suite of parameters should be collected and tested. Groundwater sampling requires specialised methods and approaches to acquire samples for analysis that represent the in-situ groundwater hydrogeochemical and hydrogeological conditions.
Multiple government agencies have produced guidelines to address specific groundwater issues, including: groundwater sampling (Jiwan &amp; Gates, 1992; Rayment &amp; Poplawski, 1992; Hill, 2007; EPA Victoria, 2022; ANSTO; and NMI); groundwater quality sampling in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDBC 1997); groundwater monitoring for community groups (Waterwatch 2005); and sampling for contaminated sites (AWRC, 1991). Groundwater sampling and analysis is a tool that can be used for multiple geoscientific purposes, including: groundwater resource assessment; management and monitoring; carbon capture and storage; mineral exploration; geothermal energy; and energy and resource industries. This document provides a comprehensive guide, applicable to a range of geoscientific disciplines, that draws together information on drilling methods, bore construction, sampling equipment and sampling methods for groundwater analysis. This guide contains standard groundwater sampling protocols, also known as standard operating procedures (SOPs), commonly used by Geoscience Australia (GA) over the last decade. These protocols aim to provide consistency for the acquisition of accurate, repeatable and comparable groundwater datasets and provides confidence in their analysis and interpretation.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sc50-14)

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.

Australian long-wavelength magnetic anomalies

A long-wavelength magnetic anomaly map is derived from near-surface observations. The data can be continued upward for comparison with maps derived from satellite data. Compared with a map from 400-km altitude observations of the MAGSAT satellite, the highs and lows are in a similar geographic position, but the MAGSAT map is smoothed, possibly by uncorrected variations in satellite altitude. The long-wavelength magnetic anomalies have no significant correlation with heat flow or seismically measured crustal thickness, and have an amplitude higher than that expected for a non-magnetic sediment. In central and western Australia, magnetic highs are spatially associated with crustal block boundaries defined by elongate, high-amplitude, associated gravity highs and lows.  Consequently, the long-wavelength magnetic anomalies are thought to be caused by rocks of high magnetisation in the upper or lower crust.

National Drainage Basins v1.1.3

The National Catchment Database is a linked set of spatial layers and associated attribute tables describing key elements of the surface water hydrology of the Australian continent at a map scale of about 1:250,000.  It is built upon the representation of surface drainage patterns provided by the GEODATA national 9 second Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Version 3 (ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society  and Geoscience Australia, 2008). The stream network and catchment boundaries contained within the database form foundation elements of the Bureau of Meteorology's Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric (Geofabric), the spatial framework that underpins the Australian Water Resources Information System (AWRIS) (http://www.bom.gov.au/water/geofabric/index.shtml).  This database adds additional environmental attributes not available through the AHGF.  The National Drainage Basins delineate the entire catchment area of any outlet to the sea or inland sink based on the GEODATA 9 second DEM. Available in raster and vector formats.
