GSWA Crossland Noonkanbah East Canning 1 GA Canning Basin Onshore Magnetic 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 GSWA Crossland Noonkanbah East Canning 1 GA Canning Basin Onshore Magnetic Grid Geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 90m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2007 by the WA Government, and consisted of 197185 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 400m and 800m, and 60m terrain clearance.

National High Purity Silica sampling campaign. Whole rock geochemistry data release

As part of the Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub, Geoscience Australia is undertaking a detailed mineral potential study of High Purity Silica to identify the favourable geology and regions across Australia that have the greatest potential to supply raw material suitable for the production of silicon. This project undertook an extensive national sampling campaign of quartz-bearing rocks, acquired through a combination of field work, core shed and repository sampling, and contributions from both industry and state and territory geological surveys. 

This dataset presents the first two batches of bulk rock geochemical results, derived from field work in the Mt Isa and Pilbara regions, as well as samples from the Londonderry drillcore library, and additional samples provided by industry. A total of 146 samples were analysed for major and trace element geochemistry. This preliminary dataset offers essential geochemical characterisation of quartz and pegmatite samples to guide high purity silica exploration and national-scale mineral potential mapping, with a second, expanded release planned as further analyses are completed.

This data release includes: 1) a complete geochemistry dataset, including all samples and standards; 2) quality assurance results; 3) an abridged Excel file with data removed for the standards, duplicates and any elements deemed unsuitable based upon the QAQC; and 4) a report of explanatory notes including details of sample selection, methodology, and quality assurance.

Earthquake risk in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie

In addition to the devastating 1989 Newcastle earthquake, at least four other earthquakes of magnitude 5 or greater have occurred in the surrounding Hunter region since European settlement in 1804. Some of these earthquakes caused damage in areas that, at the time, were sparsely populated. Similar events, were they to occur today in populated areas, would certainly cause significant damage. The frequency with which these events have occurred in the Hunter region suggests that earthquakes pose a genuine threat to the communities there.
This study presents the most comprehensive and advanced earthquake risk assessment undertaken for any Australian city to date. It has focused on the economic losses caused by damage to buildings from earthquake ground shaking, and not on the impacts from other, secondary hazards such as soil liquefaction and surface faulting. The study has adopted a probabilistic approach that makes allowances for the variability that is inherent in natural processes as well as the uncertainty in our knowledge. The results from this project will assist decision-makers involved in local and state government, policy development, the insurance industry, engineers, architects, and the building and finance industries to manage potential damage and loss of life from earthquakes in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. The results also have implications for the earthquake risk facing larger Australian cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. This is due to a number of factors, including similarities between the earthquake hazard in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie and other parts of Australia, and similarities between the urban environments, particularly the composition of the building stock.

Kimba 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

AusArray: Imaging the lithospheric mantle using body-wave tomography

Mineral deposits are the products of lithospheric-scale processes. Imaging the structure and composition of the lithosphere is therefore essential to better understand these systems, and to efficiently target mineral exploration. Seismic techniques have unique sensitivity to velocity variations in the lithosphere and mantle, and are therefore the primary means available for imaging these structures. Here, we present the first stage of Geoscience Australia's passive seismic imaging project (AusArray), developed in the Exploring for the Future program. This includes generation of compressional (P) and shear (S) body-wave tomographic imaging models. Our results, on a continental scale, are broadly consistent with a priori expectations for regional lithospheric structure and the results of previously published studies. However, we also demonstrate the ability to resolve detailed features of the Australian lithospheric mantle underneath the dense seismic deployments of AusArray. Contrasting P- and S-wave velocity trends within the Tennant Creek – Mount Isa region suggest that the lithospheric root may have undergone melt-related alteration. This complements other studies, which point towards high prospectivity for iron oxide–copper–gold mineralisation in the region.

Predicted seabed gravel, mud and sand content in the Vlaming sub-basin in the Australian continental EEZ 2013

This dataset provides the spatially continuous data of seabed gravel (sediment fraction &gt;2000 Âµm), mud  (sediment fraction &lt; 63 Âµm) and sand content (sediment fraction 63-2000 Âµm) expressed as a weight percentage ranging from 0 to 100%, presented in 0.0025 decimal degree (dd) resolution raster grids format and ascii text file. 
The dataset covers the Vlaming sub-basin in the Australian continental EEZ.
This dataset supersedes previous predictions of sediment gravel, mud and sand content for the basin with demonstrated improvements in accuracy. Accuracy of predictions varies based on density of underlying data and level of seabed complexity. Artefacts occur in this dataset as a result of insufficient samples in relevant regions. This dataset is intended for use at the basin scale. The dataset may not be appropriate for use at smaller scales in areas where sample density is insufficient to detect local variation in sediment properties. To obtain the most accurate interpretation of sediment distribution in these areas, it is recommended that additional samples be collected and interpolations updated.

The Kalgoorlie Earthquake of the 20th April 2010 : Preliminary Damage Survey Outcomes

The seismicity of the Australian continent is low to moderate by world standards.  However, the seismic risk is much higher for some types of Australian infrastructure.  The legacy of older unreinforced masonry buildings, in particular, may contribute disproportionately to community risk.
At 8:17am on the 20th April a Mw 5.0 earthquake shook Kalgoorlie.  The resultant ground motion was found to vary markedly across the town with the older masonry building stock in the suburb of Boulder experiencing a greater shaking intensity than the corresponding vintage of buildings in the Kalgoorlie business district 4km away.  The event has provided the best opportunity to examine the earthquake vulnerability of Australian buildings since the Newcastle Earthquake of 1989.
This paper describes the event and the staged collaborative survey activity that followed.  The initial reconnaissance team of two specialists captured street-view imagery of 12,000 buildings within Kalgoorlie using a vehicle mounted camera array developed by Geoscience Australia.  This information subsequently informed a systematic population based building survey using PDA data collection units.  The work was performed by a team of nine from the University of Adelaide, the University of Melbourne and Geoscience Australia.  This paper describes the preliminary findings of the work and outlines proposed future research.
