AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sc50-07)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

Australian Isogal Ties (P199191), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. 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 Australian Isogal Ties (P199191) contains a total of 7 point data values acquired at a spacing of None metres. The data is located in ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, WA and were acquired in 1991, under project No. 199191 for Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR).

Thermo-chemical inversion of the Australian lithospheric mantle (FR23)

Lithospheric structure and composition have direct relevance for our understanding of mineral prospectivity. Aspects of the lithosphere can be imaged using geophysical inversion or analysed from exhumed samples at the surface of the Earth, but it is a challenge to ensure consistency between competing models and datasets. The LitMod platform provides a probabilistic inversion framework that uses geology as the fabric to unify multiple geophysical techniques and incorporates a priori geochemical information. Here, we present results from the application of LitMod to the Australian continent. The rasters summarise the results and performance of a Markov-chain Monte Carlo sampling from the posterior model space. Release FR23 is developed using primary-mode Rayleigh phase velocity grids adapted from Fishwick & Rawlinson (2012).

Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia's geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia's transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia's regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.

Compilation of SHRIMP U-Pb geochronological data, Olympic Domain, Gawler Craton, South Australia, 2001-2003

This record contains zircon U-Pb geochronological data obtained between July 2001 and May 2003 on diamond drillcore from the Olympic Domain, Gawler Craton, South Australia. The data were collected as part of the Gawler Craton Project; a collaboration between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Division of Mineral and Energy, Primary Industry and Resources, South Australia (PIRSA). The project aims to provide an improved geological and metallogenic framework for the Gawler Craton, with initial emphasis on the Olympic Domain.
The term Olympic Domain (formerly 'Olympic Subdomain'; Daly et al. 1998) refers to the eastern extension of the Gawler Craton, concealed beneath Mesoproterozoic, Neoproterozoic and Cambrian sedimentary rocks of the Stuart Shelf. It also encompasses outcrop and subcrop of the Gawler Craton further south in the Moonta-Wallaroo region of the Yorke Peninsula. The sedimentary cover sequence of the Stuart Shelf is between about 300 and 1000 m thick, and the only knowledge of the underlying crystalline basement comprising the Olympic Domain is derived from exploratory drillholes. The long distances between drillholes impede inter-hole correlations. Thus U-Pb isotope dating of rocks intersected by (diamond) drillcore plays a key role in regional stratigraphic studies, establishing an absolute basis for temporal correlations across the Olympic Domain.
This record describes the samples analysed and the analytical results obtained, and provides a brief discussion of their geochronological interpretation. The broader geological implications of the data will be published elsewhere.

Pine Creek TEMPEST AEM Survey, Northern Territory, 2010 Final Inversion Data and Conductivity Models

Airborne Electromagnetic data are being acquired by Geoscience Australia in areas considered to have potential for uranium or thorium mineralisation under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP). The surveys have been managed and interpreted by Geoscience Australia's Airborne Electromagnetic Acquisition and Interpretation project. In contrast to industry style deposit scale investigations, these surveys are designed to reveal new geological information at regional scale. The Pine Creek airborne electromagnetic survey comprised of three survey areas Woolner Granite, Rum Jungle and Kombolgie. Tempest data were acquired for Woolner Granite and Rum Jungle survey areas and are included in this report. Woolner Granite and Rum Jungle survey areas cover a total of 21 100 line km and an area of 43 200 km2.
Phase-1 data, that is, contractor quality-controlled and quality-assessed data for Woolner Granite, Rum Jungle and Kombolgie, were released during 2009. Phase-2 data, that is Geoscience Australia layered earth inversion (GA-LEI) data and derived products for Woolner Granite and Rum Jungle, are included in this data release. The data and products described in this report are contained on the accompanying DVD. The Kombolgie survey data were acquired with VTEM. The VTEM Kombolgie inversion data and report will be included in a separate data release. 
The main products from the AEM surveys are conductivity depth slices and sections, conductance grids and an AEM Depth of Investigation grid. The data is provided in formats which can be viewed on most computers systems. They include, JPEG (.jpg) with associated world files for easy use in geographic information system (GIS) packages, ER Mapper grids (.ers), ESRI shape files (.shp) of the flight path, and point-located ASCII data with relevant metadata for derived products.

Checking the pulse of Antarctica – Can Digital Earth help?

Earth Observations over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are critical for understanding changes in the cryosphere, ecosystems and oceans through time. Our ability to observe Antarctica systematically at a continental scale is constrained by difficulties accessing, storing and pre-processing satellite imagery prior to analysis. Some of these challenges are unique to the Antarctic environment, where factors such as cloud masking, reflectivity, prolonged periods of darkness and atmospheric differences in water vapour, aerosol and signal scattering mean that corrections applied to satellite data in other regions of the world aren’t representative of Antarctic conditions. A new collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division, Digital Earth Antarctica, aims to improve access to corrected continental scale satellite data through use of Open Data Cube technology. This initiative builds on work in the international community in developing Open Data Cube platforms, which have been applied in the development of Digital Earth Australia and Digital Earth Africa. The Digital Earth Antarctica platform will provide open access to analysis ready time-series data that has been corrected and validated for Antarctic conditions. It will focus primarily on data from Landsat (optical), Sentinel-1 (synthetic aperture radar) and Sentinel-2 (optical), with other sensors to be added as the capability expands. Digital Earth Antarctica is an ambitious project that will work alongside other international efforts to enhance the accessibility of quality Antarctic Earth Observations.
