Bago/Maragle State Forest, NSW, 1996 (P659), elevation line data

The Digital Elevation Model represents ground surface topography between points of known elevation. The elevation data was calculated using the altimeters and Global Positioning System (GPS) sensor used for the benefit of airborne magnetic and radiometric data on the same survey. The elevation is the height relative to the Australian Height Datum GDA94 (AUSGEOID09). The processed elevation 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 Bago/Maragle State Forest, NSW, 1996 survey were acquired in 1996 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 6694 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

High-Performance Seismological Tools (HiPerSeis)

Seismological data are used for a variety of purposes, from earthquake hazard zonation to mapping Earth structure and mineral resource exploration. The immense volumes of seismic data now available challenge the application of routine seismic analysis techniques using existing tools. These tools fail to take advantage of recent advances in computing hardware and data formats. Given the scale of data to process and the computational complexity of algorithms involved, a more efficient approach that scales on high-performance computing and data (HPC-HPD) platforms is needed. In addition, different agencies have tended to use bespoke and ad hoc data formats, data curation processes and quality standards, hindering large-scale analyses and modelling. High-performance seismological tools (HiPerSeis) facilitate the transformation of source seismological data into formats geared towards HPC-HPD platforms. HiPerSeis also implements optimised seismological workflows that can be run at large scale on HPC-HPD platforms.

Early Proterozoic migmatitic basement in the Kalkadoon-Leichhardt Belt of the Mount Isa Inlier, northwestern Queensland

Tightly folded migmatitic rocks, intruded by 1860 Ma granite and younger felsic and mafic dykes, are exposed in a band 95km long and up to 10km wide along the western part of the Kalkadoon-Leichhardt Belt. The migmatites are considered to represent the basement underlying Proterozoic cover rocks, the oldest of which are Ma felsic extrusives (Leichhardt Volcanics) about 1860 Ma old. The migmatites include thinly banded gneiss with mainly concordant leucosomes (metasediments), non-banded gneiss with wispy leucosomes (metavolcanics), and nebulitic granitic gneiss (meta-intrusives). Metamorphism and deformation of the migmatites took place before the intrusion of a cross-cutting granite dyke dated at 1860 Â± 32 Ma by U-Pb zircon. Another U-Pb zircon age, 1850 Â± 16 Ma, obtained for a migmatitic metadacite, is anomalously young, although within experimental error of a preferred migmatisation age of 1860 - 1870 Ma. Uplift rates of 2-5 mm a year are implied, to account for the inferred brief interval between migmatite formation and ensuing felsic volcanism.

Laverton total count grid geodetic

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). 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. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid.
This Laverton total count grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 87m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Laverton, WA 1992. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1992 by the WA Government, and consisted of 10225 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Eumamurrin (North Roma) Seismic Survey, Queensland, 1959-1960 By Associated Australian Oilfields NL

A reflection seismic survey was conducted in 1959-60 on Authority to Prospect 55P by Austral Geo Prospectors Pty. Ltd. for Associated Australian Oilfields N. L. through their management affiliate, Mines Administration Pty. Ltd., in an area approximately 30 miles north of Roma, Queensland.
The primary purpose of the survey was to determine whether the sedimentary section thickened northward into a geologic basin postulated to exist north of the Roma area. A secondary objective was to outline any structure that might be disclosed by the initial lines of survey.
Data obtained show a rapid thickening of section towards the north and east of the junction of Eumamurrin and Bungil Creeks. A pronounced structure was outlined in the vicinity of land portion 8, Parish of Eumamurrin and land portions 43V and 55V, Parish of Gubberamunda.

The Proterozoic Kalkadoon and Ewen Batholiths, Mount Isa Inlier, Queensland: source, chemistry, age, and metamorphism

The Proterozoic I-type Kalkadoon and Ewen Batholiths and their comagmatic extrusive equivalents, the Leichhardt suite, form an association covering at least 5000 km2 in the central part of the Mount Isa Inlier. U-Pb zircon data and some Rb-Sr total rock data show that these rocks crystallised from melts emplaced between 1840 and 1870 m.y. ago and are the oldest dated igneous rocks in the Inlier. Chemically and isotopically, these granites are relatively uniform and, compared with most other Mount Isa granites , they have higher Sr and Al2O3 contents, and lower TiO2 , Zr, Nb, and Th contents . These chemical characteristics appear to be restricted to felsic igneous rocks known to be older than 1800 m .y. and may be useful in identifying the older felsic melts of the Mount Isa Inlier. The source for the rocks of the Kalkadoon- Ewen- Leichhardt association is estimated to have had an SiO2 content of 55-60 per cent. Relative to other large Palaeozoic and Mesozoic I-type batholiths elsewhere, this Mount Isa association is enriched in K20, Rb, Th, U, La, Ce, Zr, and Nb, and depleted in CaO, MgO, Ni, and Cr. The least isotopically disturbed granites of the association have relatively low initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios (about 0.704), which implies that the age of the source for these melts was not much older than the age of their emplacement.  As chemically and isotopically similar granites occur in most Proterozoic areas of Northern Australia, it is inferred that during the period 1900-2100 m.y. a significant mantle differentiation event took place, during which large volumes of material were accreted to the base of the crust in these areas. Post-emplacement metamorphism and deformation , which have a maximum age of 1640 m.y. , caused significant textural and mineralogical changes in the Kalkadoon Batholith, but had a lesser effect on the Ewen Batholith . Igneous textures are commonly preserved in the Ewen Batholith, but the Kalkadoon Batholith, which has been metamorphosed from lower greenschist to upper amphibolite grade, shows significant isotopic disturbances.
