P630tmig 6304

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.
This P630tmig 6304 has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 82m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1994 by the TAS Government, and consisted of 93301 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 400m and 800m, and 130m 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.

Tailored Earthquake Risk Mitigation Information for Decision Makers

In Australia there is a lack of retrospective building regulation to address earthquake prone buildings within communities.  The commitment of funds to retrofit high risk buildings either by property owners for by government requires decisions to commit constrained resources for this purpose.  Engineers are able to communicate the physical solutions to address these buildings but may be less able to articulate the risk reduction proposition to property owners who may reside or operate a business in the building.  Further, emergency managers and government policy makers may not understand the broader issues and benefits of targeted intervention.
This paper focusses on unreinforced masonry and describes a program of work that has translated earthquake hazard and engineering vulnerability into a range of communication products.  Learnings from the application of masonry mitigation research in two case study communities are presented along with their translation into a range of communication products tailored to a range of decision makers and users.  The range of benefits considered are broader than damage avoidance, extending to emergency management logistics, economic activity and avoiding losing heritage value in communities.  It also describes forward initiatives to integrate earthquake retrofit into broader resilience building interventions that address other natural hazard deficiencies.
Abstract submitted to/presented at the 2022 Australian Earthquake Engineering Society (AEES) Conference (https://aees.org.au/aees-conference-2022/).

Hiltaba-GRV A-and I-type supersuites: relationship to IOCG and Au mineralisation

A PhD study into the Hiltaba Suite granites found that the stratigraphic term &#145;Suite&#146; is wrong for this Association and that they are divisible into at least four Supersuites. This includes two Supersuites with A-type affinities and two with I-type characteristics. A spatial variation of geothermal gradients plus source &#145;basement&#146; is indicated, and these may have bearing on resultant coeval mineralisation, with the eastern Olympic Cu-Au Province associated with the Roxby A-type Supersuite, and the Central Gawler Gold Province associated with the Malbooma I-type Supersuite.

Adavale Basin 3D Geological Model - Petrel Dataset

All commercially produced hydrogen worldwide is presently stored in salt caverns. The only known thick salt accumulations in eastern Australia are found in the Boree Salt of the Adavale Basin in central Queensland. The Boree Salt consists predominantly of halite and is considered to be suitable for hydrogen storage. In 2021, Geoscience Australia contracted Intrepid Geophysics to perform 3D geological modelling of the Adavale Basin, particularly interested in modelling the Boree Salt deposit in the region. The developed 3D model has identified three main salt bodies of substantial thicknesses (up to 555 m) that may be suitable for salt cavern construction and hydrogen storage. These are the only known salt bodies in eastern Australia and represent potentially strategic assets for underground hydrogen storage. However, there are still unknowns with further work and data acquisition required to fully assess the suitability of these salt bodies for hydrogen storage.
Geoscience Australia has transformed Intrepid Geophysics' Adavale Basin 3D Modelling dataset into Petrel. This Petrel dataset is part of Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program. Files including a readme file and Petrel dataset that consists of formation surfaces, faults, borehole information and formation tops.

Australian petroleum accumulations report. Otway Basin, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania

As at 31 December 1989 the Otway Basin, which is located along the southeast margin of the Australian mainland, was known to contain a total of seven economic and six subeconomic petroleum and non-petroleum gas accumulations.  All have been discovered since the late 1950s as a result of petroleum exploration drilling.
Three accumulations have been or could be used as a source of petroleum natural gas or carbon dioxide: the North Paaratte gas accumulation in Victoria and the Caroline carbon dioxide accumulation in South Australia, both of which are currently being exploited, and the Wallaby Creek gas accumulation in Victoria, which has been identified by permit holders as an accumulation likely to be developed in the future (1992-1994).  In addition, the Katnook and Ladbroke Grove gas accumulations in South Australia are being considered for development in the near future.
The initial petroleum reserves of the Otway Basin as at 31 December 1988 are estimated to be 0.483 billion cubic metres of sales gas and 0.002 million kilolitres of condensate (not including the reserves of the Katnook and Ladbroke Grove accumulations).  Production from the Caroline carbon dioxide accumulation commenced in 1968, and this field continues to supply this commodity much of the South Australian and Victorian markets.  Production of natural gas from the North Paaratte accumulation commenced in August 1986.  This field supplies domestic and industrial users in Warrnambool, Victoria.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sd55-02)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.
