Australian local wind multiplier software

Wind multipliers are factors that transform regional wind speeds to local wind speeds considering local effects of land cover and topographic influences. It includes terrain, shielding, topographic and direction multipliers. Except for the direction multiplier whose value can be defined specifically by the Australian wind loading standard AS/NZS 1170.2, terrain, shielding and topographic multipliers are calculated using this software package based on the adaptations of formulae outlined in the AS/NZS 1170.2.
This package is an upgraded version of wind multiplier computation software (eCat 82481) used to produce wind terrain, shielding and topographic multipliers for national coverage using an input of Land Cover Classification Scheme (LCCS) level 4 version 1.0.0 ( 2015) and 1-second SRTM level 2 derived digital elevation models (DEM-S) version 1.0. In order to improve the classification resolution in the built environment, the LCCS layer is overlaid with both mesh block and settlement types. The output is based on tiles with dimensions about 1 by 1 decimal degree in netCDF format. It includes terrain, shielding and topographic multiplier respectively. Each multiplier further contains 8 directions.
The upgraded package is stored in Geoscience Australia public-facing repository and can be accessed via https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/Wind_Multipliers

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sc51-03)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

AusArray TROMINO® active seismic data acquisition, processing and MASW modelling.

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program (EFTF) provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. The Australian Passive Seismic Array Project (AusArray) program developed from a long history of passive seismic imaging in Australia involving many contributors. Building on this history, the Australian Government (EFTF), academia and state governments have united around AusArray. The objective is a standardised and quality controlled national passive seismic data coverage and an updatable national seismic velocity model framework that can be used as a background for higher-resolution studies.
The AusArray passive seismic data are supplemented with active seismic data that can provide P-wave and S-wave velocity information for the near surface down to about 50 m depth. This near-surface velocity data will provide constraints for some AusArray passive seismic data modelling to obtain more reliable depth models. This document details the active seismic data acquisition using TROMINO® three-axis broadband seismometers using a wireless trigger and hammer source. Equipment packing, field operations, data extraction and preparation, and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) modelling are described.

Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) Colour Composite Image 2015

Total Magnetic Intensity colour composite image 2015
The image was created from the Total Magnetic Intensity Grid 2015 - sixth edition. This image has a cell size of ~3 seconds of arc (approximately 80 m) and has been image enhanced for optimal display in Hue-Saturation-Intensity (HSI). 
This image only includes airborne-derived TMI data for onshore and near-offshore continental areas. Since the fifth edition was released in 2010 data from 41 new surveys have been added to the database, acquired mainly by the State and Territory Geological Surveys. It is estimated that 
31 500 000 line-kilometres of survey data were acquired to produce the grid data, 4 500 000 line-kilometres more than for the previous edition.

S.E. Queensland Seismic Survey 1986: Operational Report

Resources, Geology &amp; Geophysics (now Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO))conducted a seismic reflection, seismic crustal refraction and gravity survey in southeastern Queensland from August to November 1986.
The primary objective of the survey was to complete seismic reflection coverage in the Dalby-Toowoomba area between Traverse 14 and Traverse 16 recorded during the BMR S.E. Queensland seismic survey in 1984. Secondary objectives, subject to survey progressincluded recording additional seismic reflection data east of Traverse 16 (1984) over the Beenleigh Block south of Brisbane, and a 100 km of seismic reflection data south of Mitchellover a deep crustal seismic reflection feature delinated on Traverse 14 (1984) centred at SP4030. Overall the survey objectives would allow the completion of a continuous deepcrustal seismic reflection profile of 1110 km length across southern Queensland, the basis of a lithospheric transect study in the southern region of Queensland.
The survey obtained a total of 181 km of 6-16 fold CMP seismic reflection data in theBeenleigh, Darling Downs and Mitchell areas, using the Sercel SN368 seismic acquisition system. Both the primary and secondary objectives were achieved, although equipmentfailures were a major problem in causing decreased production rates. Gravity observations were made at 360m intervals along all traverses.
The record presents operational information on the seismic reflection survey and preliminary sections of seismic traverses.

Results of a seismic survey in the southern Denison Trough, Queensland, 1978-79

During 1978-79 BMR conducted a regional seismic survey in the southern Denison Trough, western Bowen Basin, Queensland. The aims of the survey were to examine the structural configuration of the trough, particularly at lower Permian and basement level, and to obtain stratigraphic data that would enable reliable mapping of stratigraphic units throughout the trough. The survey obtained good quality data, which allowed mapping of the distribution and thickness of most rock units along the seismic lines. The base of the Permian sequence is, however, difficult to map in areas of thick Early Permian sediments. Several major and minor phases of deformation are recognised that have affected the Denison Trough sediments. Major movements occurred at the commencement of sedimentation in the Early Permian, towards the end of deposition of the Reids Dome Beds in the Early Permian, and in the Mid-Late Triassic. Lesser phases of movement occurred throughout the Early Permian and in the Late or post-Jurassic. Several major Early Permian structures have been described for the first time. This has aided better understanding of the structural development of the trough, and definition of the extent of important structural units. The extent and configuration of the Comet Platform has been substantially redefined. The development of the Merivale Fault is now better understood and its northerly extension has been located.

Potential recharge to groundwater estimation, grid dataset, Nulla Basalt Province

This grid dataset is an estimation of the relative surface potential for recharge within the Nulla Basalt Province. This process combined numerous factors together as to highlight the areas likely to have higher potential for recharge to occur. Soil permeability and surface geology are the primary inputs. Vegetation and slope were excluded from consideration, as these were considered to add too much complexity. Furthermore, this model does not include rainfall intensity – although this is known to vary spatially through average rainfall grids, this model is a depiction of the ground ability for recharge to occur should a significant rainfall event occur in each location.
The relative surface potential recharge presented is estimated through a combination of soil and geological factors, weighting regions that are considered likely to have greater potential for recharge (e.g. younger basalts, vent-proximal facies, and highly permeable soils). 
Near-surface permeability of soil layers has been considered as a quantified input to the ability for water to infiltrate soil strata. 
It was hypothesised that locations proximal to volcanic vents would be preferential recharge sites, due to deeply penetrative columnar jointing. This suggestion is based on observations in South Iceland, where fully-penetrating columnar joint sets are more prevalent in proximal facies compared to distal facies in South Iceland (Bergh &amp; Sigvaldson 1991). To incorporate this concept, preferential recharge sites are assumed to be within the polygons of vent-proximal facies as derived from detailed geological mapping datasets.
Remaining geology has been categorised to provide higher potential recharge through younger lava flows. As such, a ranking between geological units has been used to provide the variation in potential recharge estimates.

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. 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 SA Gravity Survey 2003A7 (P200357) contains a total of 158 point data values acquired at a spacing between 200 and 800 metres. The data is located in SA and were acquired in 2003, under project No. 200357 for None.

NTGS SpiritHills 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 NTGS SpiritHills TMI Grid Geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 91m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2015 by the NT Government, and consisted of 96790 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.
