Alice Springs Region - Simpson Desert North 2, NT, 2003 (P1024), 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 Alice Springs Region - Simpson Desert North, NT, 2003 survey were acquired in 2003 by the NT Government, and consisted of 52000 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.

AEM Assist: A national machine learning tool for airborne electromagnetic interpretation and extrapolation

Output Type: Exploring for the Future Extended Abstract

Short Abstract: Airborne electromagnetic surveys are widely used in Australia for mineral exploration, groundwater assessment (i.e. hydro-stratigraphy and water quality) and natural resource management (i.e. salinity assessment). In the last decade, regional surveys have been acquired covering approximately two thirds of the continent and resulting in a large volume of data to interpret. To address this challenge, we have developed a machine learning workflow to assist with the interpretation of AEM conductivity depth sections.
‘AEM assist’ is an open-source machine learning algorithm that allows the user to interpret AEM sections from drillhole observations and/or interpreted segments along the conductivity depth section. AEM assist finds predictive relationships between the training observations (drillhole and/or interpreted sections) and the conductivity value which also includes the first vertical derivative of the conductivity. Due to the non-uniqueness of the conductivity response, we have also built in a suite of supplementary covariates or features to help improve the model prediction. These features include terrain indices, gamma radiometric, surface weathering intensity, distance proxies (e.g., distance from rocks of a known age), climate indices, gravity, and magnetic derivatives. We have built the AEM assist into a national mapping framework to facilitate model interpretation and training anywhere in Australia. Although local training of sections is recommended the national framework provides an opportunity to train a model in one region and predict into another area given similar geological and landscape histories. The AEM assist has the potential to speed up the interpretation of AEM flightline sections with statistical models of interpretation uncertainty. AEM assist can be used to provide a first pass interpretation of a survey area that can later be revised by the domain expert. A feature of AEM assist is that it systematically integrates many datasets that would otherwise be difficult to do from traditional methods.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sj51-08)

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.

Laverton 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.

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.

L156 St Ives Gold seismic survey, WA, 2002

In September 2002 a medium resolution seismic reflection survey was undertaken at the St Ives gold field, Western Australia. Trace Energy Services was contracted by the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the St Ives Victory Survey. The survey uses two Hemi60 vibrators and an ARAM24 acquisition system. The data were processed, and correlated with drillhole geology and drillhole geophysics to facilitate interpretation. The seismic sections demonstrate that seismic reflection is effective at imaging stratigraphy and structure in Archaean terrains, even at relatively shallow depths (less than 500m). A package of strong reflections is associated with the mafic stratigraphy at St Ives.

Arafura Basin hydrogeological inventory

This Arafura Basin dataset contains descriptive attribute information for the areas bounded by the relevant spatial groundwater feature in the associated Hydrogeology Index map. Descriptive topics are grouped into the following themes: Location and administration; Demographics; Physical geography; Surface water; Geology; Hydrogeology; Groundwater; Groundwater management and use; Environment; Land use and industry types; and Scientific stimulus.
The Arafura Basin is a large intracratonic sedimentary basin along the northern continental margin of Australia. Over 90% of the basin occurs offshore in relatively shallow marine waters of the Arafura Sea, with the basin extending northwards beyond Australia's territorial claim. The southern part of the basin is onshore in northern Arnhem Land. Older Paleo- to Mesoproterozoic rocks of the northern Macarthur Basin underlie most of the onshore basin, whereas Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments of the Money Shoal Basin unconformably overlie the offshore basin.
The sedimentary record of the Arafura Basin spans greater than 250 million years, from the late Neoproterozoic to the early Permian. However, subsidence was episodic and restricted to four main phases of regional subsidence interspersed with relatively long periods of tectonic quiescence. Consequently, the entire sedimentary succession of the basin is relatively structurally conformable. The oldest rocks are the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Wessel Group. These are overlain by the Middle Cambrian to early Ordovician Goulburn Group, followed by the Late Devonian Arafura Group. The uppermost sequence is Late Carboniferous to early Permian (an equivalent of the Kulshill Group from the neighbouring Bonaparte Basin).
The sedimentary rocks of the Arafura Basin are clastic-dominated and include sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone and minor coal and glacial deposits. Most of the Arafura Basin formed within shallow marine environments, with evidence for fluvial conditions largely restricted to the Carboniferous to Permian rocks.
There are no detailed basin-scale studies on the hydrogeology and groundwater systems of the Arafura Basin. Previous hydrogeological investigations by the Northern Territory Government during the 1980s and 1990s focused on groundwater supplies for remote communities such as Maningrida, Galiwinku and Millingimbi. Groundwater for these communities is sourced from fractured rock sandstone aquifers, most likely units of the Arafura Basin such as the Marchinbar Sandstone and Elcho Island Formation of the Wessel Group. The aquifers are fractured and extensively weathered up to 100 metres below surface.
