L135 Otway Basin seismic survey, VIC, 1992 Stacked seismic data and images for lines BMR92-OT1, BMR92-OT2, BMR92-OT3, BMR92-OT4, BMR92-OT5, BMR92-OT6, and BMR92-OT7

Geoscience Australia conducted a deep reflection seismic profiling survey in the onshore portion of the Otway Basin in the southeastern part of South Australia and southwestern part of Victoria, form February to June 1992. The seismic survey formed part of a National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA) project to study the early development of the Otway Basin. The objective of the seismic survey was to acquire a new deep reflection seismic data using explosive seismic energy sources to improve on the knowledge of early sedimentary sequences in the Otway Basin, especially at depths greater than 3 km. The seismic survey obtained 461 km of 5 to 10 fold Common-Middle-Point (CMP) deep reflection seismic data.

Combination and SLR validation of IGS Repro3 orbits for ITRF2020

Within the preparation for the release of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2020, the International GNSS Service (IGS) analysis centers (ACs) issued the results of the third reprocessing campaign (IGS Repro 3) of all the GNSS network solutions backwards starting from 1994. For the first time, the IGS reprocessing products include not just GPS and GLONASS, but also the Galileo constellation. In this study, we show the methodology and results of the orbit combination provided by the IGS Analysis Center Coordinator (IGS ACC) at Geoscience Australia. The quality of the provided combined orbit products was cross-checked with the individual IGS Repro3 AC contributions. The internal consistency of the individual AC solutions with the combined orbits was assessed based on the root mean square of the 3D orbit differences. In 2020, the mean consistency of the combination is at the level of 9, 23, and 15 mm for GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo, respectively. The external validation was performed using Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observations. We proposed a novel approach to handling detector-specific biases in the results of SLR validation, reducing the standard deviation of SLR residuals by up to 15% for Galileo FOC satellites. The method is based on bias referencing to single-photon SLR stations that are not affected by the retroreflector signature effect. The proposed approach increased the internal consistency of the SLR dataset, facilitating the detection of orbit modeling issues. The standard deviation of SLR residuals of the best individual solution versus the combined equals 13/14, 15/16, 17/16, 16/16 mm for Galileo-FOC, -IOV, GLONASS-K1B, -M, respectively. Therefore, the combined solution can be considered equal or slightly better in quality compared to the best individual AC solutions. Searching for patterns in SLR residuals for different satellite-Sun-Earth geometries reveals that some issues in orbit modeling are not fully diminished for individual ACs. Eventually, we proved that the delivered combined orbit product may be considered the best solution overall. The combined solution benefits from the best individual solutions for each satellite type.

Preliminary geophysical report of the Frazer radiometric prospect, Northern Territory

The Frazer radioactive prospect was located by the Geophysical Section of the Bureau of Mineral Resources during Airborne Scintillometer and magnetometer surveys carried out during 1952 in a Dakota, VH-BUR, over country surrounding Rum Jungle. Radiometric Investigations showed that the radioactivity is confined to the ferruginous surface rocks which may represent a lateritic deposit. To the east of the costean occur a few low ridges comprising a hematite quartz quartzite breccia and a white quartz breccia. The hematite quartz quartzite breccia appears to overlie the white siliceous breccia. The ferruginous breccia exhibits some radioactivity and this may explain the occurrence of the radioactive laterite. No radioactive mineral can be defined.

Primary element dispersions associated with mineralization at Mount Isa, Queensland

This report presents the results of geochemical investigations in the Mount Isa district, northwest Queensland. Samples, mainly from cores, represent Group 2 Shales (comprising Kennedy Siltstone and Spear Siltstone), Urquhart Shale, Native Bee Siltstone, greenstones, and local basic igneous rocks. These have been used to study element distributions in mineralized and unmineralized localities. It was found that primary element dispersions are associated with the 1100 Cu orebody, but not with the Ag-Pb-Zn bodies. This, together with the different modes of occurrence of the orebodies, suggests that the mineralization at Mount Isa took place in two separate events. The Ag-Pb-Zn deposits are considered to be syngenetic whereas the Cu deposits appear to be, in part at least, epigenetic. The chemical evidence suggests strongly that much of the Cu in the silica dolomite bodies was derived from the underlying greenstones. In addition, an attempt has been made to differentiate the Urquhart Shale from the other units on the basis of chemical composition. Of the elements analysed, Ca appears to be the most diagnostic and it may be possible to define the upper limit of the Urquhart Shale using this element.

The 2006 Mount Stromlo local tie survey

The integrity and strengths of multi-technique terrestrial reference frames such as ITRF2000 depend on the precisely measured and expressed local tie connections between space geodetic observing systems at co-located observatories. A local tie survey was conducted at the Mount Stromlo Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observatory, in Canberra in August of 2006. The aim of the survey was to precisely measure the local terrestrial connections between the space-based geodetic observing systems co-located at the observatory, which include GPS, GLONASS, SLR and DORIS. In particular, this report documents the indirect measurement of the SLR invariant reference point. Geoscience Australia has routinely performed classical terrestrial surveys at Mount Stromlo, including surveys in 1999, 2002 and 2003 (post-fire). A high precision survey was conducted between the survey pillars surrounding the SLR observatory. These survey pillars were monitored to ensure their stability as part of a consistent, stable terrestrial network from which local tie connections were made to the SLR and other observing systems. The relationship between points of interest included the millimetre level accurate connections and their associated variance covariance matrix.

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.
