TEISA - Area M2, SA, 2000 (Alberga) (P829), 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 TEISA - Area M2, SA, 2000 (Alberga) survey were acquired in 2000 by the SA Government, and consisted of 34000 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.

Using decision trees to provide rapid estimates of earthquake loss

The ability to provide rapid and accurate estimates of damage following an earthquake
is a key priority in seismic risk research, and is central to efficient disaster management.
Internationally, several groups are dedicated to achieving these rapid earthquake loss
estimates, including SAFER (Seismic eArly warning For EuRope), WAPMERR (World
Agency of Planetary Monitoring and Earthquake Risk Reduction) and the automated
alarm system 'PAGER' (Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response)
being developed by the USGS. These agencies aim to provide real-time loss estimates
following earthquake events using an empirical approach: historical earthquake data are
used to estimate building fragilities, i.e. the relationship between ground shaking
intensity and observed structural damage to buildings, which are then used in
conjunction with maps of shaking intensity (shake maps) to provide loss estimates. In
Australia, this approach is not practicable as there are few historical examples of large,
damaging earthquakes in populated areas that can be used as benchmarks for loss
estimates.

Geophysical survey at Blackfellow's Dam uranium prospect, Condobolin district, New South Wales

Following the discovery of uranium mineralisation at the Blackfellow's Dam Mine, near Condobolin, N.S.W., a geophysical survey was carried out by the Bureau of Mineral Resources to search for evidence of sulphide mineralisation.
Electromagnetic, self-potential and magnetic methods were used, and several hundred soil samples were taken for geochemical analysis. The self-potential and magnetic methods yielded little of importance, and the discussion of the results is concerned mainly with the electromagnetic survey. Several anomalies were located by this method and they are considered to indicate the presence of fissures probably filled with clay and perhaps weakly mineralised. No evidence was obtained of the presence of sulphide bodies of economic value.

Report on radiometric investigations at Carcoar, New South Wales

Attention has been directed to the cobalt workings at Carcoar as a possible source of radioactive minerals in two ways. During testing of museum specimens for radioactivity, it was found that cobalt ore from Carcoar was strongly radioactive. Also, the occurrence of uranium in the cobalt ores was reported by Mr. McKillop, formerly a land holder in the area, who submitted a copy of a report signed by Professor T.H. Laby, certifying the presence of uranium in samples examined by him, and at a later date, a sample containing an uranium mineral. A brief visit was paid to the area in 1948, and the presence of strong radioactivity on dumps was confirmed. A more extensive survey of the area was, therefore, undertaken by geophysicists during 1949-50 and 1950-51. This report gives an account of the geophysical operations carried out in the vicinity of the Carcoar cobalt workings and describes the results of these investigations.

Galilee Basin region: Key geological surfaces and intervals package

Publicly available geology data are compiled to provide a common information base for resource development, environmental and regulatory decisions in the Galilee Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used and supports the data package that provides the existing knowledge of the key geological intervals of the Galilee Basin and the overlying Eromanga, Lake Eyre and other Cenozoic basins.
The key geological intervals identified by the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information (TEGI) Program for resource assessment and groundwater system characterisation are termed play intervals and hydrostratigraphic intervals respectively. The Galilee Basin includes 5 plays, which are consolidated into 3 hydrostratigraphic intervals (see Table 1). Overlying the Galilee Basin are 9 play intervals of the Eromanga Basin, which are consolidated into 7 hydrostratigraphic intervals and 1 Cenozoic play interval and 1 hydrostratigraphic interval for the Lake Eyre and other Cenozoic basins. The geological groups and formations included in the plays and hydrostratigraphic intervals are summarised in the stratigraphic charts of Wainman et al. (2023a).
Gross depositional, depth structure and thickness maps are provided, with 3D model and cross-sections summarising the geology of the Galilee Basin and the overlying basins. The mapped depths and thicknesses of the key intervals are used to inform resource assessments and provide the framework for assigning groundwater data to hydrostratigraphic intervals.

L036 Latrobe Valley seismic reflection survey, VIC, 1959

In March and April 1959, a seismic party from the Bureau of Mineral Resources extended a seismic survey carried out in 1958 in the Latrobe Valley. A seismic reflection traverse was run across the Latrobe Syncline between Tyers and Traralgon South to determine the structure of the coal measures, the depth of basement and, if possible, the type of basement. 
Results indicated that the Latrobe Syncline (the structural feature which coincides with the Latrobe River Valley) is a broad syncline in which the strata are more or less horizontally bedded. The maximum thickness of coal measures is about 2200 ft. The survey provided information on the structures of the limbs of the Latrobe syncline and on several minor structures superimposed on the main syncline. It did not, however, show for certain what type of basement rock underlies the coal measures.
The survey provided information on the structure of the formations beneath the coal measures; and although some of the seismic data is of poor quality, there is probably an unconformity in the stratigraphic section between 5000 and 9000 ft. Reflections recorded at times as great as 2700 millisec, show that the sediments in the Latrobe Valley are probably between 10,500 and 15,000 ft. deep.

Key elements for effective study of seismic vulnerabilities of lifeline infrastructure to develop informed mitigation strategies: trust, collaboration, and a generalised infrastructure model

Critical infrastructure systems provide essential services central to the functioning of Australian communities and the economy. Research into historic catastrophic failures of infrastructure suggests two factors have the strongest influence on such failures: system complexity and tight coupling within such systems. While complexity of these lifeline systems is recognised, the latter factor is often not well-understood, especially in the context of severe natural hazards. 

Proposed in this paper is a methodology to study the performance of lifeline infrastructure under hazard impact, where key component parameters of complex lifeline systems, along with component interactions, are integrated within an executable model. This model can then be subjected to any number of virtual hazards to assist in identification of non-obvious failure mechanisms, quantify post-hazard system performance, and conduct experimentation with alternate mitigation measures. 

This process allows for investigating the combined effect of various parameters including component fragilities, system topology, restoration times and costs with their uncertainties, redundancies, and the expected hazard. Much of this information is commercially sensitive or only accessible to specialist groups. Ensuring access to, and effective combination of, such information requires a trusted information-sharing collaboration framework between cross-sectoral experts. This collaboration requires participation from infrastructure operators, researchers, engineers, and government entities. This paper outlines a methodology and tools that have been utilised within such a collaborative project, and documents key learnings from the effort, along with observations on improvement strategies.

L056 Seismic reflection and refraction survey in the Ooraminna area of the Amadeus Basin, NT, 1962 Images for traverse G, GX, GY, N, NX, NW

A seismic survey was made in the.Ooraminna area of the Amadus Basin 9 Northern Territory 9 by a seismic party of the Bureau of Mineral Resources 9 Geology and Geophysics 9 between 6th July and ,29th August 1962. Reflection traverses were recorded between Deep Well and Alice Springs and
across the culmination of the Ooraminna Anticline l and a refraction depth probe was recorded on the crest of the Ooraminna Anticline.
The purpose of the survey was to obtain information on the structure of the Basin in the eastern part of the Missionary Plain, and on the structure of the Ooraminna. The Basin was shown to be generally synclinal between Deep Well and Alice Springs with a maximum sediment thickness Of 20,000 feet north of the Ooraminna Anticline. Seismic evidence suggested that the uplift at Deep Well and the Ooraminna Anticline have resulted from thickening in a deep formation, which has been tentatively identified as the Bitter Springs Formation.
The survey was unsuccessful in relating reflectors in the crosssections with outcropping formations in the MacDonnell Ranges and on the Ooraminna Anticline.
