3D resistivity models of the Delamerian Orogen, southeast Australia, from AusLAMP

Here we present 3D resistivity models of the lithosphere beneath an area of southeast Australia, derived from the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP). AusLAMP aims to collect long period magnetotelluric (MT) sites in a 55 km spaced array across Australia. With most of southeast Australia complete, we are now armed with a tool to understand the architecture of the entire lithosphere across large areas. 
The AusLAMP data presented here were collected by several organisations. Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of South Australia, the Geological Survey of New South Wales, the Geological Survey of Victoria, and the University of Adelaide all contributed staff and/or funding for collection of the data; AuScope and GA contributed instrumentation. Our resistivity models from these data encompass the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic Curnamona Province, the Neoproterozoic Flinders Ranges, and the Cambrian Delamerian Orogen, encompassing eastern South Australia and western New South Wales and western Victoria. The Delamerian Orogen marks the transition along the eastern margin of Proterozoic Australia from a passive to an active continental margin, and has potential for a range of mineral systems. The Curnamona Province is also prospective, with strong similarities and a large mantle conductivity anomaly joining it to the Gawler Craton, which hosts a world-class IOCG belt.
Preliminary resistivity models indicate a highly conductive crust in the Curnamona Province. Within the Delamerian Orogen, the lithosphere is mostly resistive, with isolated conductive anomalies from around 10 km down to the lower lithosphere. The Murray Basin that hinders mineral exploration over the southern parts of the Delamerian Orogen is imaged as a widespread shallow conductor. 
Subduction-related crustal enrichment during the Delamerian Orogeny, identified by xenolith and seismic studies of eastern South Australia has, in part, been overprinted by the signature of recent volcanism in the form of the Newer Volcanic Province (NVP). The NVP, previously imaged by MT in Victoria, is now imaged in its full onshore extent.  The new resistivity models will enable us to identify lithospheric scale structures and test tectonic models about the evolution of southeast Australia.

Earthquake forecasting from paleoseismic records

Forecasting large earthquakes along active faults is of critical importance for seismic hazard assessment. Statistical models of recurrence intervals based on compilations of paleoseismic data provide a forecasting tool. Here we compare five models and use Bayesian model-averaging to produce time-dependent, probabilistic forecasts of large earthquakes along 93 fault segments worldwide. This approach allows better use of the measurement errors associated with paleoseismic records and accounts for the uncertainty around model choice. Our results indicate that although the majority of fault segments (65/93) in the catalogue favour a single best model, 28 benefit from a model-averaging approach. We provide earthquake rupture probabilities for the next 50 years and forecast the occurrence times of the next rupture for all the fault segments. Our findings suggest that there is no universal model for large earthquake recurrence, and an ensemble forecasting approach is desirable when dealing with paleoseismic records with few data points and large measurement errors.

GSQ Isa Region Cloncurry, 2017 (P1292), radiometric line data

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 GSQ Isa Region Cloncurry, 2017 (P1292), radiometric line data were acquired in 2017 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 113387 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 50m and 100m, and 50m terrain clearance.

Inferred Base of Nulla Basalt

This is a raster representing the base surface of the Nulla Basalt Province, inferred from sparse data available, dominated by private water bore records. This interpretation was conducted by a hydrogeologist from Geoscience Australia.

Caveats
•    This is just one model, based on sparse data and considerable palaeotopographic interpretation
•    This model relies on the input datasets being accurate. However it is noted that substantial uncertainty exists both in the location of private bores and the use of drillers’ logs for identifying stratigraphic contacts.
•    The location of palaeothalwegs is imprecise, and often it is only indicative of the presence of a palaeovalley.
•    The purpose of this model is for visualisation purposes, so should not be considered a definitive depth prediction dataset.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Strzelecki (sh54-02)

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.

Boulia - Springvale Qld, 1997 (P673), 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.

Bulk Rock Stable Isotopes Database Table

The bulk rock stable isotopes database table contains publicly available results from Geoscience Australia's organic geochemistry (ORGCHEM) schema and supporting oracle databases for the stable isotopic composition of sedimentary rocks with an emphasis on calcareous rocks and minerals sampled from boreholes and field sites. The stable isotopes of carbon, oxygen, strontium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur are measured by various laboratories in service and exploration companies, Australian government institutions, and universities, using a range of instruments. Data includes the borehole or field site location, sample depth, stratigraphy, analytical methods, other relevant metadata, and the stable isotopes ratios. The carbon (13C/12C) and oxygen (18O/16O) isotope ratios of calcareous rocks are expressed in delta notation (i.e., &delta;13C and &delta;18O) in parts per mil (‰) relative to the Vienna Peedee Belemnite (VPDB) standard, with the &delta;18O values also reported relative to the Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW) standard. Likewise, the stable isotope ratio of hydrogen ( 2H/ 1H) is presented in delta notation (&delta; 2H) in parts per mil (‰) relative to the VSMOW standard, the stable isotope ratio of nitrogen ( 15N/14N) is presented in delta notation (&delta;15N) in parts per mil (‰) relative to the atmospheric air (AIR) standard, and the stable isotope ratio of sulfur ( 34S/ 32S) is presented in delta notation (&delta; 34S) relative to the Vienna Canyon Diablo Troilite (VCDT) standard. For carbonates, the strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope ratios are also provided.

These data are used to determine the isotopic compositions of sedimentary rock with emphasis on the carbonate within rocks, either as minerals, the mineral matrix or cements. The results for the carbonate rocks are used to determine paleotemperature, paleoenvironment and paleoclimate, and establish regional- and global-scale stratigraphic correlations. These data are collated from Geoscience Australia records, destructive analysis reports (DARs), well completion reports (WCRs), and literature. The stable isotope data for sedimentary rocks are delivered in the Stable Isotopes of Carbonates web services on the Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal at https://portal.ga.gov.au which will be periodically updated.
