Report on the analysis of the Asia Pacific Regional Geodetic Project (APRGP) GPS Campaign 2022

The annual Asia Pacific Regional Geodetic Project (APRGP) GPS campaign is an activity of the Geodetic Reference Frame Working Group (WG) of the Regional Committee of United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for Asia and the Pacific (UN-GGIM-AP). This document describes the data analysis of the APRGP GPS campaign undertaken between the 11th and 17nd of September 2022. Campaign GPS data collected at 116 sites in seven countries across the Asia Pacific region were processed using version 5.2 of the Bernese GNSS Software in a regional network together with selected IGS (International GNSS Service) sites. The GPS solution was constrained to the ITRF2014 reference frame by adopting IGS14 coordinates on selected IGS reference sites and using the final IGS earth orientation parameters and satellite ephemerides products. The average of the root mean square repeatability of the station coordinates for the campaign was 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm and 7.5 mm in north, east and up components of station position respectively.

Food by Geoscience Design! The geoscience of food, from tectonic plates to dinner plates

Our planet provides everything we need for our lives, including the food we eat.  As the human population increases and expectations for lifestyle quality increases, so too do the pressures placed on our planet to provide that food.  We therefore need to be better at producing food and understanding how that links to our scientific understanding of our planet.
For National Science Week 2021, the Geoscience Australia public seminar (co-sponsored by the ACT Division of the Geological Society of Australia and the ACT Branch of the Australian Marine Sciences Association) will present four speakers to demonstrate how geoscience is integral to the provision of our food.
Steve Hill – The Long View:  Across many disciplines of geoscience and different spatial scales, geology, soils and even plate tectonics influence our food (and wine).
Andrew Carroll – Finding Important Seabed Habitat (FISH):  Did you know that seabed mapping data directly contributes $9 billion to the Australian economy each year and employs over 56,000 people?  For the fishing and aquaculture sectors, seabed mapping is valued at $3 billion.  However, only one quarter of Australia’s seabed is mapped!  Learn how GA is addressing this challenge to support the rapid growth of Australia's Blue Economy.   
Claire Krause – Food at Scale:  In a country as big and dynamic as Australia, producing food is no small task.  Satellite imagery is being leveraged to map, monitor and understand Australia’s food production regions and to identify and manage challenges in the sector. 
Anna Riddell – From Paddock to Plate with Positioning:  Have you ever wondered how your food arrives on your plate and the role that navigation satellites play?  Positioning is becoming ubiquitous in everyday life and even has a part in enabling our food to be grown, harvested and transported.

The Granites Mt Solitaire Highland Rocks Mt Theo thorium grid

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.
This radiometric thorium grid has a cell size of 0.001 degrees (approximately 100m) and shows thorium element concentration of the The Granites, Mt Solitaire, Highland Rocks, Mt Theo, NT, 1993 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1993 by the NT Government, and consisted of 108984 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 90m terrain clearance.

Australia's Identified Mineral Resources 2003

In 2002, Australia's economic demonstrated resources (EDR) of bauxite, diamond, gold, iron and manganese ore, lithium, tin, tungsten and uranium increased, while those of black coal, ilmenite, tantalum, cadmium, zinc and vanadium decreased. EDR of brown coal, cobalt, lead, magnesite, rutile, zircon, nickel, niobium, phosphate, shale oil and silver remained at levels similar to those reported in 2002. The reductions in EDR were due mainly to production, with low commodity prices a subsidiary factor.
Australia's EDR of base metals (zinc, lead, silver) nickel, mineral sands and uranium remain the world's largest, while bauxite, black coal, brown coal, cobalt, copper, gold, iron ore, lithium, manganese ore, rare earth oxides and gem/near gem diamond rank in the top six worldwide.
Strong growth in gold prices in 2002 contributed to an increase in its EDR. The duration of gold's EDR (20 years at current production rates), however, signals the need for ongoing successful exploration in the short and medium term for this commodity, which is currently Australia's third largest export commodity. Similarly, there is a need for significant new discoveries of base metals to produce these commodities at current output levels beyond the next 20 to 25 years.
Australian mineral exploration expenditure fell by 6% to $640.5 million in 2001-02, the lowest financial year current dollar amount since 1992-93. Spending for the calendar year, however, rose by $13.8 million (2%) to $678.2 million. A world survey of exploration budgets for 2002 by the Metals Economics Group saw Australia displaced by Canada as the world's leading exploration destination. In response to the low levels of exploration expenditure, industry and governments initiated studies to examine the economic implications of the downturn and ways at building industry recovery, including policy measures that may facilitate future mineral exploration activity in Australia.

Climate Futures for Tasmania: Severe wind hazard and risk: Technical Report

We have applied new modelling and analysis techniques to develop a revised understanding of the regional wind hazard across the Tasmanian region. This modelling builds on downscaled global climate simulations from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) over the Tasmanian region, undertaken by the Climate Futures for Tasmania project. These downscaled simulations enabled the development of wind hazard maps for the Tasmanian region both for current climate and also for two climate change scenarios. The wind hazard assessments (current and future climates) were used in a wind risk model to investigate the impact of severe wind risk on residential buildings. Australian Bureau of Statistics population projections were used to scale-up the number of residential structures based on the current ratio of residents per structure. The assessment of wind risk driven by the small increase in the hazard during the 21st century resulted in little or no change to the wind risk associated with the current residential building stock. When population projections were utilised to infer increased number of buildings (all built to the present building code), the proportion of legacy buildings within the building population declined resulting in a decline in wind risk. Wind risk levels remain well below those experienced in the northern part of the Australian continent were high wind hazard, chiefly associated with tropical cyclones, results in risk much greater than that experienced in Tasmania.
