Swain Reefs (Rockhampton), QLD, 1964 (P282), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 These line dataset from the Swain Reefs (Rockhampton), QLD, 1964 survey were acquired in 1964 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 29810 line-kilometres of data at 4800m line spacing and 150m 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.

Naretha 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.

Australian Critical Minerals Map 2021

This map shows the locations and status, as at 31 December 2021, of Australian operating mines, mines under development, mines on care and maintenance and resource deposits associated with critical minerals. 
Developing mines are deposits where the project has a positive feasibility study, development has commenced or all approvals have been received. Mines under care and maintenance and resource deposits are based on known resource estimations and may produce critical minerals in the future. The critical mineral deposits on this map may not be comprehensive for all commodities.
For the purposes of this map, critical minerals are defined as minerals and elements (solid and gaseous) that are vital for modern technology and whose supply may be at risk of disruption. The Australian critical minerals list comprises aluminium (high-purity alumina), antimony, beryllium, bismuth, chromium, cobalt, gallium, germanium, graphite, hafnium, helium, indium, lithium, magnesium, niobium, platinum group elements, rare earth elements, rhenium, scandium, silicon (high-purity silica), tantalum, titanium, tungsten, vanadium and zirconium. These commodities are coloured by mineral groupings on the map.

Australian geomagnetic observatory network monitors space weather hazard – 180 years on

Geoscience Australia’s geomagnetic observatory network covers one-eighth of the Earth. The first Australian geomagnetic observatory was established in 1840 in Hobart. This almost continuous 180-year period of magnetic-field monitoring provides an invaluable dataset for scientific research.
Geomagnetic storms induce electric currents in the Earth, and feed into power lines through substation neutral earthing, causing instabilities and sometimes blackouts in electricity transmission systems. Power outages to business, financial and industrial centres cause major disruption and potentially billions of dollars of economic losses. The intensity of geomagnetically induced currents is closely associated with geological structure.
Geomagnetic storm events across three decades have been analysed to develop a statistical model of geomagnetic storm activity in Australia and the model used to predict the intensity of geomagnetically induced currents in Australia's modern-day power grids. Modelling shows the induced electric fields in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales caused by an intense magnetic storm that occurred in 1989. Real-time forecasting of geomagnetic hazards using Geoscience Australia’s geomagnetic observatory network and magnetotelluric data from the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Mapping Project helps develop national strategies and risk assessment procedures to mitigate space weather hazard.
Abstract submitted to/ presented at 2021 Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference -AEGC2021 (https://2021.aegc.com.au/).

Mount Isa Inlier and Environs 1:500 000 GIS package (version 1.2)

The GIS is based on the "Mount Isa Inlier and Environs" 1:500 000 scale map (published in 1987), which was digitised and verified against geochemical and mineral deposit point data. A series of interpretative geological and geochemical coverages were derived from these map data and point datasets such as ROCKCHEM, OZCHRON, and MINERAL DEPOSITS. Geophysical byte images provide broad regional views showing the concealed extent of the province.

GSQ Hodgkinson Georgetown Block C 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 Hodgkinson Georgetown Block C Qld dose rate grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00096 degrees (approximately 104m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Hodgkinson-Georgetown Block C, QLD, 2000, Prospectivity Plus Init.. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2000 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 72706 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 80m terrain clearance.

This activity introduces the concepts of lava viscosity and influence on volcanic cone shape. The download includes background information for teachers and an activity sheet for students. The activity involves making lava slime and racing this down a slope. Participants are asked to predict how lava viscosity might influence volcanic shape (a hypothesis) and then observe what does happen and relate this to the natural environment.

The Giralia and Marrilla anticlines, North West Division, Western Australia

The Giralia and Marrilla Anticlines are in the north-western part of the Carnarvon Easin, North West Division, Western Australia. The Giralia Anticline extends southward for 80 miles from Exmouth Gulf to Salt Lake; the maximum outcrop width across the two anticlines is 18 miles. The Giralia and Marrilla Anticlines are maturely dissected asymmetrical folds of low relief which consist of sediments deposited in Cretaceous and Tertiary time in a shelf area possibly contiguous with the geosyncline of Timor and East Celebes. The Giralia Anticline is the second largest of twelve closed anticlines in the post-Palaeozoic sediments of the Carnarvon Basin north of the Gascoyne River. The vertical closure of the Giralia Anticline on the top of the Boongerooda Greensand is 700 feet, and the closed area is 230 square miles. The anticlines were folded at four different periods, viz. between upper Eocene and lower Miocene, lower Miocene, between lower Miocene and Pleistocene, and Pleistocene or post-Pleistocene.
