NSW Coast Tsunami Inundation Modelling; Final Report

This report describes earthquake-tsunami inundation hazard modelling for the entire NSW coast including Lord Howe Island, conducted by Geoscience Australia in partnership with the NSW State Emergency Services. The modelling considers tsunamis generated by earthquakes on major Pacific Ocean subduction zones, using the 2018 Australian Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA18) to represent hypothetical tsunamis and their uncertain occurrence rates. Tsunamis generated by other mechanisms are not treated (e.g. landslides, volcanic eruptions, local earthquakes).  A NSW-wide inundation model is developed to simulate tsunamis from the earthquake source through to inundation, with testing against 9 historical tsunamis observed at NSW tide gauges between 1960 and 2021. The NSW-wide inundation model is then combined with scenarios and uncertain occurrence-rates from PTHA18 to compute the hazards onshore. A Monte Carlo technique, based on the theory of importance sampling, is developed to make this computationally feasible. The hazard calculations assume the tsunami arrives during a high tide and use a relatively low onshore roughness, so will tend to be conservative. A wide range of output products depicting the rate of inundation and tsunami intensity are developed, along with inundation zones corresponding to tsunami warning categories from the Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre. The results can help NSW SES to develop improved NSW-wide tsunami evacuation zones for tsunamis generated by subduction earthquakes in the Pacific.

Modelling of hydrogen gas generation from overmature organic matter in the Cooper Basin, Australia

A significant portion of planned energy and mineral resource investment into Australia is now for hydrogen (H2). Whether from fossil fuels with carbon capture and storage or from electrolysis of water using renewable energy, there is a price premium for manufactured hydrogen. The production of H2 from geological sources (geologic H2) is seen as being more cost-effective. The majority of sources for geologic H2 are abiotic and mostly unconstrained but biogenic (microbial and thermogenic) sources do exist. The focus for this study is on a thermogenic source where chemical kinetics of H2 generation from the thermal breakdown of land-plant-derived organic matter has been applied within a petroleum system modelling framework for the Cooper Basin. Modelling of mid-Patchawarra Formation coals and shales, the main source rocks for petroleum, indicate that free H2 is available at maturities &gt;3.5% vitrinite reflectance and that a large volume of free H2 is predicted to occur in a ‘sweet spot’ deep within the Nappamerri Trough. Therein, in-situ free H2 concentrations are comparable to methane concentrations in productive unconventional shale gas plays. Nevertheless, exploration drilling within the Cooper Basin’s depocentre is sparse and a deep H2 system remains largely untested.

Australian Gravity Stations WFS

This service provides header and observation data for gravity stations located throughout continental Australia and Remote Offshore Territories.  Data sources include the Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) and the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN) maintained by Geoscience Australia (GA).  Data has been obtained by Surveyors, Commonwealth and state/territory Governments, private companies, and educational institutions. 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.

Tennant Creek – Mt Isa IOCG Mineral Potential Assessment WMTS

This web service provides access to datasets produced by the mineral potential assement of iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineral systems in the Tennant Creek – Mt Isa region.  The mineral potential assessment uses a 2D, GIS-based workflow to qualitatively map four key mineral system components: (1) Sources of metals, fluids and ligands, (2) Energy to drive fluid flow, (3) Fluid flow pathways and architecture, and (4) Deposition mechanisms, such as redox or chemical gradients. For each of these key mineral system components theoretical criteria, representing important ore-forming processes, were identified and translated into mappable proxies using a wide range of input datasets. Each of these criteria are weighted and combined using an established workflow to produce the final map of IOCG potential.

National Seismic Hazard Assessment 2018 WMS

As part of the 2018 National Seismic Hazard Assessment (NSHA), we compiled the geographic information system (GIS) dataset to enable end-users to view and interrogate the NSHA18 outputs on a spatially enabled platform. It is intended to ensure the NSHA18 outputs are openly available, discoverable and accessible to both internal and external users. This geospatial product is derived from the dataset generated through the development of the NSHA18 and contains uniform probability hazard maps for a 10% and 2% chance of exceedance in 50 years. These maps are calculated for peak ground acceleration (PGA) and a range of response spectral periods, Sa(T), for T = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 s. Additionally, hazard curves for each ground-motion intensity measure as well as uniform hazard spectra at the nominated exceedance probabilities are calculated for key localities.

Mapping Neotectonic Faults in the Gippsland Region for Seismic Hazard Applications

The Gippsland region in southeastern Australia is characterised by some of the highest seismic activity rates and consequent hazard in Australia. The region is host to 26 identified neotectonic features capable of generating moderate to large surface rupturing (&gt; Moment Magnitude 6) earthquakes. This study uses recently available Vicmap light detection and ranging (lidar) data to improve mapping and documentation of neotectonic features and propose locations for future paleoseismic studies. The Neotectonic Features Database linework has been updated, informing improved estimates of uplift rates and maximum-magnitude earthquakes. Results in this study highlight the need for robust paleoseismic data, and inform the discussion on how probabilistic fault displacement hazard assessments should occur in this region. An improved understanding of the distribution and characteristics of seismogenic faults in this area through field reconnaissance and paleoseismic trenching can inform actions to improve community safety and energy security for the region.

Composite Gazetteer of Australia MapServer

The Composite Gazetteer of Australia (CGA) is the national repository of Australia’s approved place names, drawing together data from each state, territory, and relevant Commonwealth authorities. It is the place names point database that is used by the CGA web application, https://placenames.fsdf.org.au, to deliver jurisdictional place name information as one collection. The CGA is collaborative effort - every Australian state and mainland territory provides data from its official register of geographic names, administered by its naming authority (e.g. VICNAMES in Victoria, the NSW Geographical Names Board, etc). In addition, the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) contributes offshore undersea feature names, and the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) provides Antarctic place names. All data provided for the CGA is managed by respective naming authorities. Over decades, it has evolved through collaborative governance and technical innovation. The effort is coordinated under the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM), through its Australia and New Zealand Place Names Working Group (ANZPNWG), formerly Permanent Committee on Place Names (PCPN) or its predecessor, Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (CGNA). The database is also available to search and direct download from the web application, currently https://placenames.fsdf.org.au.The spatial accuracy of the place names points varies between jurisdictions and cannot be relied upon for navigation, precise positioning, or safety-of-life applications. Any quality issues with individual data points should be referred to the relevant naming authority.
