GSQ Cape York ppm Thorium 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 thorium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 91m) and shows thorium element concentration of the Cape York, Qld, 2009 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2009 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 241190 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Planet Warrinilla North No. 1 Well Queensland Of Planet Exploration Company Pty Ltd

Planet Warrinilla North No. 1 Well was located approximately 32 miles south of Rolleston, and about 16-1/2 miles north of Planet Warrinilla No. 1 Well. The site was determined from an analysis of seismic data and was located on a culmination on the northern plunge of the Warrinilla Anticline in the Bowen Basin. Based on seismic control near the top of the Ingelara Formation, this structure is believed to have 120 feet of closure and an areal extent of six square miles.
Drilling operations at Warrinilla North No. 1 were carried out between 28th July and 8th October 1963, after which production casing was set and further testing was undertaken between 10th-25th October. A full programme of logging, testing, and coring was carried out.
The well passed through the Triassic Rewan Formation, and Permian beds which included the Bandanna Formation, Mantuan Productus Bed, Catherine Sandstone, Ingelara Formation, Aldebaran Sandstone, and Cattle Creek Formation. The well bottomed in the preCattle Creek fresh water beds at a depth of 6879 feet, and was abandoned on 25th October 1963.
A number of gas shows were encountered in the well and although none of these proved commercial, much information was gathered both from the drilling of the well and from the evaluation testing that followed. A total of 23 drillstem tests was run. However, four of these were misruns. A maximum gas recovery of 162 000 cubic feet per day was obtained from the Aldebaran Sandstone.
The well was drilled by Delta Drilling Company using a National 55 rig. Technical control at the well site was provided by N.A. Meyers of Cundill, Meyers and Associates, mud logging by Core Laboratories, Inc., and electrical logging by Schlumberger Seaco Inc. 
The test drilling operation at Planet Warrinilla NorthNo. 1 was subsidized under the Petroleum search Subsidy Act 1959-1961, from surface to total depth.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sl54-07)

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.

2008/018 - Proceedings of the Sir Mark Oliphant International Frontiers of Science Australia Geothermal Energy Conference

This volume is a compilation of Extended Abstracts presented at the 2008 Australian Geothermal Energy Conference, 19-22 August 2008, Rydges Hotel, Melbourne, organised by the Australian Geothermal Energy Association and the Australian Geothermal Energy Group.
This Conference is the first dedicated conference organised by the geothermal energy community in Australia and has been made possible by the seed funding from the Australian Government under the Sir Mark Oliphant Conference funding scheme with additional sponsorship of the companies acknowledged earlier and paying delegates.
This Conference is being held at a time of rapid growth in all sectors of the geothermal community. The number of companies engaged in exploration stands at 33, the number of leases held or applied for is 320, and the value of the work program for these companies exceeds $850 million between 2002-2013. The Australian Geothermal Energy Association has been incorporated to serve as the peak industry representative body. The Universities of Queensland, West Australia, Adelaide and Newcastle have new funding specifically for geothermal research programs. The Australian Government has continued its strong support of the sector through the Geothermal Industry Development Framework and Technology Roadmap, the Geothermal Drilling Program, and the Onshore Energy Security Program. All of the States now have legislation regulating geothermal exploration activity in place, and the Northern Territory has drafted legislation for presentation to parliament. 
This volume of Extended Abstracts starts with a summary snapshot of the global and national geothermal energy sectors. 
The rest of the volume is organised under three headings:
Underground Science and Technology
Power Conversion Technologies
Legislation, Policy and Infrastructure

Summary of results. Joint NTGS-GA geochronology project: Amadeus Basin, July 2017-June 2018

This Record presents SHRIMP U–Pb geochronological results from the Amadeus Basin obtained between June 2017 and July 2018 during the Northern Territory Geological Survey–Geoscience Australia (NTGS–GA) geochronology project under the National Collaborative Framework (NCF) agreement. This project is a contribution to Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Programme, which aims to better understand the mineral, energy and groundwater resources of Northern Australia. Six samples were analysed in support of ongoing regional geoscientific investigations and mapping programs by the NTGS (Donnellan et al in prep). 
This Record documents detailed results for each sample, comprising sample location and geological context, a description of the zircons, the relevant analytical data, and a brief geochronological interpretation. In addition, Edgoose (2013) previously described the sampled units in detail together with summarised regional lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic correlations of successions throughout the Amadeus Basin. Sample locations are shown in Figure 1; a summary of all results is presented in Table 1 and Figure 2. Data for each sample are tabulated in the Appendix (Table A1–A6). Full analytical data and interpretations for each sample are available via GA’s Geochron Delivery system (http://www.ga.gov.au/geochron-sapub-web/); this data includes analytical session-specific details of the calibration data collected on the reference 238U/206Pb and 207Pb/206Pb zircons.

Drummond and Galilee Qld, (Geomap 2005) GDI 1997/1998 (P793), 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 Drummond &amp; Galilee Qld, (Geomap 2005) GDI 1997/1998 survey were acquired in 1997 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 198262 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m 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.

On the VLBI measurement of the Solar system acceleration

Aims. We proposed new estimates of the secular aberration drift, mainly due to the rotation of the Solar system about the Galactic center, based on up-to-date VLBI observations and improved methods of outlier elimination.
Methods. We fitted degree-2 vector spherical harmonics to extragalactic radio source proper motion field derived from geodetic VLBI observations spanning 1979-2013. We paid a particular attention the outlier elimination procedure to remove outliers from (i) radio source coordinate time series and (ii) the proper motion sample.
Results. We obtained more accurate values of the Solar system acceleration than in our previous paper. The acceleration vector is oriented towads the Galactic center within ~7. The component perpendicular to the Galactic plane is statistically unsignificant. We showed than an unsufficient cleaning of the data set can lead to strong variations in the dipole amplitude and orientation, and thus to erroneous physical interpretations of the results. The quadrupole harmonics remain unsignificant. Nevertheless, it imposes a limit to the gravitational waves density integrated over a range of frequencies less than 10-9 Hz of  GW = 0.0007 h-2, where h = H0/(100 km/s/Mpc) is the normalized
Hubble constant.
