GeoInsight Data Delivery WFS

This web service delivers data from an aggregation of sources, including several Geoscience Australia databases (provinces (PROVS), mineral resources (OZMIN), energy systems (AERA, ENERGY_SYSTEMS) and water (HYDROGEOLOGY). Information is grouped based on a modified version of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) 2021 Indigenous Regions (IREG). Data covers population centres, top industries, a regional summary, groundwater resources and uses, energy production and potential across six sources and two energy storage options. Mineral production and potential covers 36 commodities that are grouped into 13 groups.

A visible-near infrared spectral library for critical metals exploration

Optical remote and proximal sensing instruments, collecting reflectance spectra of rocks and sediments in the visible to near infrared (VNIR) wavelength range (350 to 1200 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum at high spectral and spatial resolution, provide a unique fingerprint of a wide range of rock forming, alteration and ore minerals. This paper presents a newly compiled VNIR spectral reference library, comprising reflectance spectra of 249 mineral samples over the 350 to 1350 nm wavelength range, which were acquired by the CSIRO from single crystals, crystal aggregates, pulp and rock samples. The collection comprises representatives from the following mineral groups: sulfides, oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, molybdates/tungstates, nesosilicates, cyclosilicates, inosilicates and phyllosilicates. Many mineral species amongst those mineral groups are host minerals of critical metals, such as Co, Ga, Ge, Sb, Sc, W, and Rare Earth Elements (REE). Importantly, the spectral library also comprises gangue minerals common to the respective commodities, such as iron oxides in regolith-hosted REE-deposits. In addition to the VNIR, the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region, between 1300-2500 nm, was also collected and is only provided here for comparison purposes rather than detailed spectral peak assignment/analysis. The validation of the 249 mineral reference reflectance spectra is an ongoing process. Based on completed X-ray diffractometry, the reflectance spectra currently comprise 98 pure mineral species samples, 117 samples that are impure, but where the target minerals form an assemblage with typically associated minerals. Selected samples may require further validation methods, such as scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

An extension to the USGS ShakeCast for system-level impact assessment using a Bayesian approach

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) ShakeCast provides near-real-time post-earthquake impact and inspection metrics for critical infrastructure facilities following an event. The system sends automatic notifications with information on inspection priorities based on damage estimates using a suite of fragility models and ShakeMap ground motion parameters. The current system provides only asset-level damage estimates, which can be further used for system-level impact assessment through a Bayesian approach. This paper describes a methodology for an application of a Bayesian approach using the product of the ShakeCast and demonstrates an example of its application for the road bridge network located in the Wheatbelt Region of southwestern Western Australia, inland from Perth. This region has been the subject of detailed collaborative research on infrastructure assets that has led to an operational piloting of ShakeCast in Geoscience Australia’s National Earthquake Alerts Centre. The bridge network in this research consists of approximately 100 bridges with earthquake vulnerability attributed. The performance of the selected routes is assessed assuming the bridges are the only vulnerable elements in the road network that can fail due to ground shaking. This proposed extension to ShakeCast will enable road transport asset managers to assess the likelihood of system operational status near-real-time following an event.

Wetlands Insight Tool Ramsar Wetlands Polygons

Background
                        Wetlands provide a wide range of ecosystem services including improving water quality, carbon sequestration, as well as providing habitat for fish, amphibians, reptiles and birds. Managing wetlands in Australia is challenging due to competing pressures for water availability and highly variable climatic settings. The Wetlands Insight Tool (Ramsar Wetlands) has been developed to provide catchment managers, environmental water holders, andwetlands scientists a consistent historical baseline of wetlands dynamics from 1987 onwards. The Wetlands Insight Tool (Ramsar Wetlands) is available online through the DEA Mapswebsite.

The Ramsar Wetlands of Australia Dataset is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licence. We created individual wetland polygons from the multipart Ramsar polygons in the dataset. The 6 Australian Ramsar Sites in external territories are excluded as they are outside of Australia’s satellite data footprint.

<code>                    What this product offers
                    The Wetlands Insight Tool (Ramsar Wetlands) summarises how the amount of water, green vegetation, dry vegetation and bare soil varies over time within eachwetland boundary.It provides the user with the ability to compare how the wetland is behaving now with how it has behaved in the past. This allows users to identify how changes in water availability have affected the wetland.It achieves this bypresentinga combined view of Water Observations from Space (DEA Water Observations), Tasseled Cap Wetness (DEA Wetness Percentiles) and Fractional Cover (DEA Fractional Cover) measurements from the Landsat series of satellites, summarised as a stacked line plot to show how that wetlandhas changed over time.

Geology of the Stillwell Hills WFS

The Stillwell Hills region comprises granulite-facies gneisses which record evidence for multiple episodes of deformation and metamorphism spanning more than 2500 million years. The predominant orthogneiss package (Stillwell Orthogneiss) is thought to represent the margin of an Archaean craton exposed in Enderby Land, some 150 km to the west that was reworked during the late Proterozoic. Younger additions to the crust include Palaeoproterozoic charnockitic gneiss (Scoresby Charnockite) and Meso-Neoproterozoic mafic sills and dykes (Point Noble Gneiss, Kemp Dykes) and felsic pegmatites (Cosgrove Pegmatites). Subordinate supracrustal rocks, including metaquartzite, metapelitic, metapsammitic and calc-silicate gneiss (Dovers Paragneiss, Sperring Paragneiss, Stefansson Paragneiss, Keel Paragneiss, Ives Paragneiss) are intercalated and infolded with the Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic orthogneisses.
This map service is derived from the map product 'The Geology of the Stillwell Hills, Antarctica' (GEOCAT 72717).
