Tanami MainNS - ground elevation geoid grid (radar)

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point- or line-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This Tanami MainNS - ground elevation geoid grid (radar) is elevation data for the NTGS Tanami NS Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018. This survey was acquired under the project No. 1312 for the geological survey of NT. The grid has a cell size of 0.00036 degrees (approximately 40m).  This grid contains the ground elevation relative to the geoid for the NTGS Tanami NS Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018. It represents the vertical distance from a location on the Earth's surface to the geoid. The data are given in units of meters. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

ON47 Pine Creek Metallogenic GIS package 1:500 000 scale (version 1.2)

The Pine Creek GIS package has been prepared jointly by AGSO and the Northern Territory Survey for release in both digital and hard copy (atlas) formats.  Based on the 1:500 000 geological map of the Pine Creek Geosyncline (2nd edition) published by BMR in 1984, the GIS has been supplemented where possible by recently acquired data from mapping in the Litchfield, Katherine, and South Alligator areas. The aim of this project was to bring together almost 45 years of regional mapping projects by both organisations by integrating existing hard copy geological maps and other relevant geoscientific data into a digital Metallogenic Geographic Information System (GIS).

Tsunami sources, hazards, risk and uncertainties associated with the Tonga-Kermadec Subduction Zone

In November, 2018 a workshop of experts sponsored by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission was convened in Wellington, New Zealand. The meeting was organized by Working Group (WG) 1 of the Pacific Tsunami Warning System (PTWS). The meeting brought together fourteen experts from various disciplines and four different countries (New Zealand, Australia, USA and French Polynesia) and four observers from Pacific Island countries (Tonga, Fiji), with the objective of understanding the tsunami hazard posed by the Tonga-Kermadec trench, evaluating the current state of seismic and tsunami instrumentation in the region and assessing the level of readiness of at-risk populations. The meeting took place in the “Beehive” Annex to New Zealand’s Parliament building nearby the offices of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management. The meeting was co-chaired by Mrs. Sarah-Jayne McCurrach (New Zealand) from the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management and Dr. Diego Arcas (USA) from NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory.
As one of the meeting objectives, the experts used their state-of-the-science knowledge of local tectonics to identify some of the potential, worst-case seismic scenarios for the Tonga-Kermadec trench. These scenarios were ranked as low, medium and high probability events by the same experts. While other non-seismic tsunamigenic scenarios were acknowledged, the level of uncertainty in the region, associated with the lack of instrumentation prevented the experts from identifying worse case scenarios for non-seismic sources. The present report synthesizes some of the findings of, and presents the seismic sources identified by the experts to pose the largest tsunami risk to nearby coastlines. In addition, workshop participants discussed existing gaps in scientific knowledge of local tectonics, including seismic and tsunami instrumentation of the trench and current level of tsunami readiness for at-risk populations, including real-time tsunami warnings. The results and conclusions of the meeting are presented in this report and some recommendations are summarized in the final section.

GSSA Marree Uranium 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 uranium grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 87m) and shows uranium element concentration of the Marree-Warrina Airborne Magnetic &amp; Radiometric Survey, SA, 2012 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2012 by the SA Government, and consisted of 132484 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

West Pilbara, WA, 1995 (P636), 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 West Pilbara, WA, 1995 survey were acquired in 1995 by the WA Government, and consisted of 75096 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.

Muttaburra Seismic Survey, Queensland, 1959 By Artesian Basin Oil Company Proprietary Limited

This report refers to a seismic reflection survey conducted near the town of Muttaburra in Queensland, between 16th October and 12th December, 1959, by Geoseismic (Australia) Ltd, for the Artesian Basin Oil Company Pty Ltd.
The purpose of the survey was to determine the nature of any structures present and the thickness of the sedimentary rocks. A number of isolated reconnaissance lines were laid and the shot-points were placed at one or two mile intervals. The records were computed by jump correlation. One structural feature found as a result of the reconnaissance traverses was investigated by more detailed work.
A northerly plunging anticline, with easterly dip contrary to the regional westerly dip was delineated on two reflecting horizons. The relief due to the easterly dip is approximately 250 feet on the deeper horizon and 200 feet on the shallower horizon.
To investigate the area fully, it would be necessary to carry out a further seismic reflection survey using the continuous profiling method of recording and computing.

A multidisciplinary geoscientific approach to support water resilience in communities in central Australia

The Exploring for the Future Southern Stuart Corridor Groundwater Project undertook extensive multidisciplinary geoscientific investigations across four study areas and six Indigenous communities in central Australia to better understand and characterise groundwater resources. The project was developed to support improvements in water resilience for communities and future agricultural developments in the region. Geoscience Australia collected 9800 line kilometres of airborne electromagnetic data, drilled and installed 15 new monitoring bores, acquired 78 surface nuclear magnetic resonance soundings, recorded downhole geophysical data and groundwater level measurements from &gt;50 bores, and completed hydrochemical analysis of 75 samples. Integration of these datasets provided insights into recharge areas and rates, and potential for managed aquifer recharge. The project also improved our understanding of the geological systems hosting groundwater and interconnections between systems. Potential new groundwater supplies, enhanced understanding of groundwater processes and improved geological models will assist water agencies to better manage groundwater resources across the region.
