A Survey of the Macrocystis pyrifera (L.) C. Agardh Stocks on the East Coast of Tasmania, 1999.

A survey was conducted for Macrocystis pyrifera (Linnaeus) C. Agardh 1820 from Eddystone Point to South East Cape
The survey was conducted from light aeroplane. Areas of Macrocystis pyrifera beds were marked on 1:100,000 topographical land tenure maps using landmarks as references. A Trimble GPS unit was used to track position in the aeroplane. As boundaries of the beds were flown over, these were marked on the GPS. When plotted up, these information assisted in determining Macrocystis bed boundaries where these were not close to the coast.

Survey of the extent of Macrocystis pyrifera beds in the vicinity of the Mercury Passage, east coast of Tasmania,1965.

A research program jointly conducted by Alginates (Australia) P/L and C.S.I.R.O. Division of Fisheries and Oceanography was set up to investigate the relationship between kelp: Macrocystis pyrifera (Linnaeus) C. Agardh 1820 and crayfish larvae. Alginates (Australia) P/L, based at Louisville in the Mercury Passage, were harvesting kelp at this time. This study was initiated to address concerns regarding the effect of harvesting on crayfish stocks.
The survey results are taken from an unpublished interim report presenting the results of the work at that stage (1965).
Apparently an aerial survey was used to determine stock distributions although this is not specified in the report.

Travel time performance indicators

Travel time surveys are conducted annually on ten metropolitan Adelaide arterial road routes using the ‘floating car’ technique. They are conducted on weekdays during both the morning and afternoon peaks as well as during the off-peak period. The results are displayed as actual travel speeds for each of the routes individually in a separate dataset "Travel Speed in Metropolitan Adelaide ", as well as aggregated to form a suite of travel time performance indicators. The aggregation is done by breaking each route down into a series of 'links' and weighting travel times for each link by the average number of vehicles per hour travelling on that link. This dataset has results from 1994 to the latest year.

Depth to pre-Neoproterozoic rocks between Tennant Creek and Mt. Isa – A preliminary model

It is generally accepted that the near surface search space for mineral deposits in Australia and elsewhere in the world has been well explored and the frontier of exploration lies beneath post-mineralisation cover. The Exploring for the Future program aims to unlock this new search space in northern Australia and parts of southern Australia by reducing the technical risk of mineral exploration through the provision of innovative pre-competitive data and information. The first step to de-risk undercover exploration is to simply define the depth to prospective rocks as cover-thickness places first order constraints on the economic search space. With this aim in mind we present a preliminary model of the depth to pre-Neoproterozoic rocks between Tennant Creek and Mt Isa, an area of focused integrated studies of the Exploring for the Future program. This work aims to compliment recent and ongoing mineral potential assessments in this region, which suggest covered pre-Neoproterozoic rocks are prospective for iron oxide-copper-gold and sediment hosted base metal mineral deposits. Our model utilises a dasets of over eight four thousand point estimates of the depth to pre- Neoproterozoic strata from boreholes, reflection seismic profile interpretations and depth to magnetic top estimates mostly sourced from the new Estimates of Geological and Geophysical Surfaces database supplemented by the distribution of pre-Neoproterozoic strata outcrops. These constraints were objectively queried based on their reliability, subsampled at 0.05 degrees and gridded using an adjustable tension continuous curvature-surfacing algorithm. The result shows Palaeozoic cover-thickness generally increases away from outcrops with a notable exception east of Tennant Creek where cover-thickness is typically less than 250 m thick. Fortuitously, this region of shallow cover termed the East Tennant Ridge corresponds with a region recently assess to have potential to host iron oxide-copper-gold mineralisation.

Exploring for the Future—Bore positioning survey data release for the Nulla and McBride basalt provinces: Upper Burdekin region, North Queensland

This data release contains accurate positional data for groundwater boreholes in terms of horizontal location as well as elevation of the top of casing protectors. Twenty-four boreholes located in the Nulla and McBride basalt provinces have had DGPS survey results compiled and are presented. Using 95% confidence intervals, the horizontal uncertainties are less than 1.2m and vertical uncertainties less than 0.9m. These results are a substantial improvement, particularly on the uncertainty of elevations, and as such allow water levels need to be compared between bores on a comparable datum, to enable a regional hydrogeological understanding. Quantifying the uncertainties in elevation data adds robustness to the analysis of water levels across the region rather than detracting from it.

Mine waste sampling and analysis of Eloise mine tailings, Queensland

This record one in a series of reports detailing the geochemical and mineralogical results of sampling collected at mine waste sites across Australia as part of Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program. It presents new data and information on nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements at the Eloise copper mine located in the North West Minerals Province, Queensland.&nbsp;

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 net zero emissions, strong, sustainable 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.

Constructing geologically-constrained 3D models using 3D Geomodeller: An example from the Paterson Orogen

The Paterson National Geoscience Agreement project is using a number of tools to better understand the time-space evolution of the northwest Paterson Orogen in Western Australia. One of these tools, 3D Geomodeller, is an emerging technology that constructs three-dimensional (3D) volumetric models based on a range of geological information. The Paterson project is using 3D Geomodeller to build geologically-constrained 3D models for the northwest Paterson Orogen. This report documents the model building capability and benefits of 3D Geomodeller and highlights some of the geological insights gained from the model building exercise. The principal benefit of 3D Geomodeller is that it provides geoscientists with a rapid tool for testing multiple working hypotheses.
The Cottesloe Syncline district was selected as the focus for a trial of the 3D Geomodeller software. The 3D model was built by members of the Paterson Project, as well as model building specialists within Geoscience Australia.  The resultant Cottesloe Syncline model including two dimensional sections, maps and images was exported from 3D GeoModeller and transformed into a Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML), enabling a wide audience to view the model using readily available software.
