GSQ Mt Isa Southeast percent potassium 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.
This radiometric potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m) and shows potassium element concentration of the Mount Isa South East, Qld, 2006 in units of percent (or %). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2006 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 100960 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Is broadscale revegetation economic and practical as a groundwater and salinity management tool in the Murray-Darling Basin?

In the Murray-Darling Basin, agricultural production (from cropland and irrigated agriculture) foregone through land degradation is estimated at $214.6 million/year. Clearing and the replacement of deep-rooted native vegetation by shallow-rooted annuals have been identified as major causes of increased groundwater recharge and land and water degradation. Improved vegetation management and revegetation of degraded and degrading lands will lead to significant improvements in surface water quality. Proposed actions under the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council Draft Vegetation Management Strategy include clearing and development controls, management of degraded and degrading lands, assistance and incentive measures, and improved community awareness and education. Recharge strategies (preventative measures aimed at reducing deep percolation to the groundwater over large areas of land, by the increased and more efficient use of soil water supplied by rainfall) include reforestation and agroforestry, agronomic and engineering strategies. Economic benefits of agroforestry are frequently overestimated. Current arrangements for marketing commercial timber, setting prices, and levying taxes discourage private tree plantings, as do a lack of labour and management skills, the relative profitability of alternatives, and availability of capital.  Though there are apparent benefits from forestry-based activities, which simultaneously control groundwater levels and dryland salinity, farmers need incentives to  move to forestry-based systems.  Most research predicts a net social gain from reduction in salinity problems, but the importance of water yield has been neglected.  The importance of model specification to the selection of appropriate land use is also emphasised. It is concluded that broadscale revegetation using tree-based systems is not economic or practical as a groundwater and salinity management tool but should be evaluated in terms of local conditions. In addition, vegetation management should be more widely interpreted to include all vegetation which may be used to control groundwater and salinity.

Bushfire Historical Extents - Version 3.0

The National Bushfire Historical Extents Dataset (version 3.0) represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons (except Northern Territory) that date from the late 1800's through to 2024. The burnt areas represent curated jurisdictional owned polygons of both bushfires and prescribed (planned) burns.

This dataset was produced under Work Stream 1C - Activity 3 of the National Bushfire Intelligence Capability; a collaborative partnership between the Australian Climate Services, CSIRO (NBIC), Geoscience Australia (GA), and the Emergency Management Spatial Information Network (EMSINA). Under agreement this Project (Activity 3) will release a nationally consistent, harmonised and standardised historical bushfire extent dataset derived from the authoritative state and territory agencies.  

The information released within this dataset is reflective of the data supplied by participating authoritative agencies. It may, or may not, represent all fire history within that jurisdiction.

Apart from small updates to this dataset up until 30 June 2025 there are no plans for another major update to this Product.

L208 Southeast Lachlan Seismic Survey 2018

Six hundred and twenty nine km of deep crustal reflection data were collected for the Southeast Lachlan 2D seismic survey along three transects: 18GA-SL1 (302 km), 18GA-SL2 (163 km)  and 18GA-SL3 (164 km) during March to April 2018. The purpose of the survey was to image the Tabberabbera, Omeo, Deddick, Kuark and Mallacoota Zones (west to east) of the Lachlan Orogen at a high angle to their structural grain, as a key reference section for the study of the Palaeozoic geology, geodynamic evolution and mineral potential of Victoria and New South Wales with implications for eastern Australia mineral exploration as well as natural hazard mapping. The Project is a collaboration between Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV), the Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW), and AuScope. The data processing is being undertaken by a contractor on behalf of GA, GSV, GSNSW and AUScope and is expected to be released in early 2019.

L025 Busselton seismic reflection survey, WA, 1956

Following a gravity survey of the Perth Basin in 1951-52 (Thyer and Everingham, 1956), in which it was indicated that a sedimentary thickness of about 35,000 ft was probably present in the Perth Basin, several seismic traverses were surveyed across the Basin. This Record deals with one such reflection traverse which was surveyed between Quindalup and Donnybrook. The purposes of the survey were to find the
thickness and dip of the sediments and to discover any faulting or folding within them.
Results of the survey were inconclusive regarding the depth to basement but indications are that it is at least 8000 ft in the deepest part of the B,sin along this traverse. The sediments appear to be folded and faulted. There is evidence for the existence of a major fault east of the Dunsborough Fault, and the existence of the Whicher Fault was tentatively confirmed.
