Warburton Area Vic Infill (P200032), 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 Warburton Area Vic Infill (P200032) contains a total of 4444 point data values acquired at a spacing of 1500 metres. The data is located in VIC and were acquired in 2003, under project No. 200032 for Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV).

Blue Hills-Logue Seismic Survey, Western Australia, 1959-1960 By West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited

A reflection seismic survey was conducted in 1959-1960 by Geophysical Service International, S.A. for West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited. The survey took place within the Canning Basin in Western Australia. The purpose of the survey was to investigate certain anomalies which had been indicated by a previous refraction seismic survey. The reflection seismic survey consisted of 63 miles of continuous profiles, and the interpretation of the results obtained over part of the prospect was controlled by three closed loops.
Four anticlinal structures were located in an area where the thickness of pre-Permian sediments is believed to be between 4000 feet and 5000 feet. One of these structures is in the form of an anticlinal nose plunging to the south-west with the open end facing northeast. The other three structures are anticlinal structures closed by faults.

Impacts of climate change on tropical cyclone hazard: current understanding and future directions

There has been much debate on the influence climate change may have on global tropical cyclone activity (Webster et al. 2005, Landsea 2005, Emanuel 2005, Knutson et al. 2001), but the impacts on human settlements is even less clear. Regional differences in projected changes are also apparent, further clouding the issue of identifying changes in hazard and risk. As part of a contribution to the Garnaut Climate Change Review (Garnaut 2008), Geoscience Australia examined the changes in a number of indices of tropical cyclone activity as diagnosed from IPCC AR4 simulations. These results can be used to infer likely changes in tropical cyclone hazard.
General circulation models (GCMs) are normally too coarse to accurately resolve peak winds associated with tropical cyclones (Walsh and Ryan 2000). Tropical cyclone-like vortices may be present in the finer resolution models, but these are a poor facsimile of observed tropical cyclones and thus are unsatisfactory predictors of changing tropical cyclone characteristics (Camargo et al. 2007). To gain some understanding of the potential changes in tropical cyclone behaviour under different future climate regimes, we use GCM outputs to examine environmental indices that have been linked to the intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones.

NDI Carrara 1 sedimentology, microstructural analyses, and sequence stratigraphy - FINAL REPORT

The NDI Carrara 1 sedimentology, microstructural analysis and sequence stratigraphy program was a joint undertaking between Geoscience Australia (GA) and CSIRO (Perth) as part of the Exploring for the Future program to examine the sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and paleogeography of the Carrara Sub-basin. The program was based on recovered core from the National Drilling Initiative (NDI) deep stratigraphic drill hole, NDI Carrara 1. NDI Carrara 1 is the first drill hole to intersect the Proterozoic rocks of the Carrara Sub-Basin, a large depocentre discovered during seismic acquisition conducted during the first phase of the EFTF program in 2017. NDI Carrara 1 is located on the western flanks of the Carrara Sub-basin, reaching a total depth of 1751 m, intersecting ca. 630 m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100 m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and siliciclastics.
This final report, and associated appendices, compiles the findings of three milestone deliverables. The first component of the report addresses the sedimentology of the Proterozoic section of NDI Carrara 1 with an accompanying Appendix (core log, from HyLogger data). The second component is a detailed microstructural analysis based on selected thin sections in intervals of interest. The final component completed a 1D sequence stratigraphic assessment, enabling regional stratigraphic correlations to be established and an interpretive paleogeographic map generated for the Proterozoic sequences of interest across the region .

How deep is the basement beneath the Otway Basin? Insight from semi-automated magnetic depth estimates

Over 8,200 line kilometres of gravity and magnetic data, acquired during the 2020 Otway Basin Seismic Program (OBSP), were combined with public domain survey and satellite data to produce seamless maps of the NW-SE trending deep-water Otway Basin. These data provide valuable information on the geometry and spatial extent of igneous rocks in the deep-water basin. While the top of basement can effectively be imaged from seismic reflection datasets onshore in the Otway Basin, it remains problematic in parts of the deep-water offshore region due to variable seismic data quality. Modelling of the magnetic line data provides an estimate of the depth to the top of basement, an important interface for understanding hydrocarbon prospectivity because it plays a key role in characterising the tectonic evolution of the basin, and thus the thermal maturation history of hydrocarbons. 
Magnetic modelling was performed using a profile-based curve matching technique producing a depth estimate to the top of the magnetic body that is assumed to be the top of the basement. However, this assumption is flawed where there are volcanic or igneous intra-sedimentary rocks in the basin, as is the case for the Otway Basin where the interpretation of seismic reflection data shows highly reflective events corresponding to igneous features. In most parts of the basin, the modelling results show two layers: a shallow layer (depths &lt; 1000m) corresponding to near surface volcanics, and a deeper layer (depths &gt; 1000m) attributed to the top of the magnetic basement. Magnetic basement shows some similarities with basement picked on seismic reflection data, though in some areas the magnetic basement is shallower. The results also show that the depth to basement is not well resolved in areas with abundant intra-sedimentary igneous rocks. Further investigation is needed in such areas.

Great Artesian Basin - Adori-Springbok Aquifer - Thickness and Extent

The Adori-Springbok Aquifer - Thickness and Extent data set, is one of a set that represents the hydrostratigraphic units of the Great Artesian Basin, which include five major aquifers, four intervening aquitards, and the Cenozoic cover to the GAB.
There are five layers in the Adori-Springbok Aquifer map data.
A: Formation Extent
B: Outcrop extent
C: Isopach Raster
D: Isopach Contours
E: Data Point Locations
The datasets have been derived from the lithostratigraphic intercepts in drillhole data from petroleum exploration wells, water bores, and stratigraphic wells. Seismic correlation and assessment of hydrogeological character based on electrofacies have not been used. The working datasest for this study has been derived primarily from the following databases:

PEPS-SA (Petroleum Exploration and Production System - South Australia) (Department of Primary Industries and Regions SA, 2011)
WaterConnect Groundwater database (Govt. of SA, 2011)
QPED (Queensland Petroleum exploration database) (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2010).
GABLOG (Great Artesian Basin Well Log Dataset) (Habermehl, 2001)
Additional supplementary information was derived from published reports listed in the following section.

This is a regional interpretation for mapping at approximately 1:1 000 000 to produce a broad scale overview, and examination of small areas by collecting extra data is most likely to produce results that differ from this regional interpretation.
This dataset and associated metadata can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au, using catalogue number 81680.
