MRTAS Yolla tmi 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 MRTAS Yolla tmi grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 50m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1994 by the TAS Government, and consisted of 2805 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 125m terrain clearance.

Templetonian and Ordian Xystridurid trilobites of Australia

This Bulletin is a monograph of the trilobites of the subfamily Xystridurinae, and an appraisal of their organization, morphology, ecology, and systematic relations. The taxa here described constitute a substantial addition to the Ordian fauna dominated by the species of Redlichia (Opik, 1970), and t6 the Templetonian fauna; and have provided a supplementary stratigraphic scale within the Cambrian. Since the time of its introduction by F. W. Whitehouse in 1936 the name Xystridura (sp., sp. indet., sp.nov.) has.become a very common palaeontological designation in papers dealing with the Cambrian of the Northern Territory and Queensland, published and unpublished. The material exploited here has been selected from collections belonging to the Bureau of Mineral Resources accumulated between 1948 and 1962; the initial manuscript was destroyed in a fire in 1953 and the collections were greatly depleted. The lost material, however, was subsequently restored, and even substantially increased by the Ordian forms, by the discovery of Galahetes, and by collections from New South Wales. Nevertheless the rehabilitation of the morphogenic history of Xystridura is somewhat incomplete and therefore dogmatic in parts. I collected the larger part of these fossils either in company with the field geologists of this Bureau, or on my own; other contributions were made by geologists of the Bureau. Names of some are mentioned in the text, and of others in my earlier papers; once more I thank them all for the assistance received.

The 2016 Mw 6.1 Petermann Ranges earthquake rupture, Australia: another “one-off” stable continental region earthquake

The 20th May 2016 moment magnitude (MW) 6.1 Petermann earthquake was the 2nd longest single-event historic Australian surface rupture (21 km) and largest MW on-shore earthquake in 28 years. Trench logs from two hand-dug trenches show no evidence of penultimate rupture of surface eolian sediments or underlying calcrete. Available dating of eolian dunes 140 to 500 km away from the Petermann fault indicated eolian deposition during either the last glacial maximum (approximately 20 ka) or a period of aridification at approximately 180 - 200 ka. Ten 10Be cosmogenic nuclide erosion rates of bedrock outcrops at 0 to 50 km from the surface rupture trace are within error of each other between 1.4 to 2.6 mMyr-1. These samples have approximate averaging times between 208 to 419 ka. Bedrock erosion rates, trenching results and interpretation of the landscape history suggest the 2016 event is the only surface rupturing earthquake on the Petermann fault in the last 200 to 400 kyrs, and possibly the first ever on this fault. This finding is consistent with a lack of evidence for penultimate rupture for all eleven historic Australian surface rupturing events, as described by either trenching and/or landscape analysis and bedrock erosion rates. These ‘one-off’ events within Precambrian cratonic Australian crust are not consistent with trenching results and geomorphology of paleo-scarps within the Flinders Ranges and Eastern Australia which indicate multiple recurrent fault offset. Variable fault recurrence behaviour highlights that uniform seismic hazard modelling approaches are not applicable across Stable Continental Regions.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sj49-01)

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.

The mantle dynamical repertoire: plates, plumes, overturns and tectonic evolution

In the present mantle, plates and plumes are the main active components.  However, calculations of the thermal evolution of the mantle based on purely thermal convection with plates and plumes yield very smooth changes, which are difficult to reconcile with the apparently episodic accumulation of continental crust and with observed changes in tectonic style through Earth history.  The effects of composition on the density of the lithosphere, both at the surface and after subduction, can change the dynamics of plates and mantle convection, resulting in a repertoire of mantle behaviour that may better explain the observed tectonic evolution.  Thus major mantle overturns may have occurred during the Archaean and possibly the Proterozoic, with dramatic tectonic and magmatic effects, and plate tectonics may not have worked in its modern form when the mantle was hotter.  Plumes are not an alternative to plates: they come from a different thermal boundary layer. Plumes have probably played a significant but usually secondary role throughout Earth history.

Browse Basin High Resolution Seismic Study - North West Shelf, Australia - Interpretation Report

The Browse Basin High Resolution Study was undertaken as a joint project between the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) and Nopec International Pty Ltd in early 1997. The study is underpinned by a recently acquired, 5,265 km grid of regional, high-resolution seismic reflection data (1996 Browse Basin High Resolution Survey, AGSO Survey BBHR/175), the integration of sequence stratigraphic analysis of the seismic data and of 21 wells, structural mapping, geochemical analyses, and geohistory modelling of potential source rocks. The study aims to provide a regional structural and stratigraphic model for the evolution of the Browse Basin, with particular emphasis on the development of petroleum systems in the prospective Mesozoic and Cainozoic sections. It is hoped that this regional framework and assessment of petroleum systems will assist exploration through a better understanding of the basin's prospectivity.
