Great Artesian Basin - Cadna-owie Hooray Aquifer - Calcium Concentration

Data used to produce the predicted Calcium map for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2015).
There are four layers in the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer Calcium map data
A. Location of hydrochemistry samples (Point data, Shapefile)
B. Predicted Concentration (Filled contours , Shapefile)
C. Predicted Concentration Contours (Contours, Shapefile)
D. Prediction Standard Error (Filled contours , Shapefile)
The predicted values provide a regional based estimate and may be associated with considerable error. It is recommended that the predicted values are read together with the predicted error map, which provides an estimate of the absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map.
The predicted standard error map provides an absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map. Please note this is not a relative error map and the concentration of a parameter needs to be considered when interpreting the map. Predicted standard error values are low where the concentration is low and there is a high density of samples. Predicted standard errors values can be high where the concentration is high and there is moderate variability between nearby samples or where there is a paucity of data.
Concentrations are Calcium in mg/L.
Coordinate system is Lambert conformal conic GDA 1994, with central meridian 134 degrees longitude, standard parallels at -18 and -36 degrees latitude.
The Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer Calcium map is one of 14 hydrochemistry maps for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer and 24 hydrochemistry maps in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2014).

Wee Waa Gravity (P196343), 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 Wee Waa Gravity (P196343) contains a total of 648 point data values acquired at a spacing of 1609 metres. The data is located in NSW and were acquired in 1963, under project No. 196343 for Alliance Oil Development NL.

Web Based Mapping of Australia's Nickel Sulphide Metallogenic Provinces: Resources and Potential

Presented at the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG) 2004: Predictive Mineral Discovery Under Cover Conference, Perth, September 2004.
The paper discusses a web-based information and mapping system for defining nickel sulphide metallogenic and prospective provinces. The system contains information on regional geology, mineral occurrences and deposits, resources, and age of mineralisation for most Precambrian nickel sulphide deposits. The three basic criteria used to delineate the metallogenic provinces are: same style of mineral system, similar age, and spatial contiguity of geology

Average time between events when the Shields parameter exceeds 0.25

This data represents the average time between events when the Shields parameter (Shields, 1936) exceeds 0.25 based on a Peaks-Over-Thresholds (POT) analysis. The Shields parameter (non-dimensional bed shear stress) value of 0.25 is assumed to be the threshold for creating disturbed patches. This value is several times larger than that required to initiate traction bedload transport (~0.05) and falls in the middle of the ripple and dune bedform stability field. It represents conditions when the seabed is highly mobile and where patches of disturbed habitat are likely to be created. The unit for the dataset is day.

Tsunami hazard and loss on the global scale

Tsunamis are infrequent events with the power to cause massive loss of life, large economic losses, and cascading effects such as destruction of critical facilities. The recurrence of the truly disastrous events may range from hundreds to even thousands of years. To manage these events, scientists turn to hazard and risk analysis. This typically involves a quantification of the temporal probability of a tsunami run-up height at a coastal location or region, often involving long recurrence, labelled the hazard analysis.  Correspondingly the risk analysis concerns probability of damage and loss, using the hazard analysis as the basis. We here present the first fully probabilistic global tsunami hazard and risk analysis, by using large earthquakes as sources. Unlike more frequent hazards as for instance floods and cyclones, tsunami risk analysis cannot make use of historical records. The hazard analysis is rather based on the Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment (PTHA) method, which employs earthquake sources to quantify the probability of tsunami run-up and inundation height at coastal locations. Based on the PTHA, a probabilistic risk analysis quantifying the probability of direct building damage losses is conducted for all tsunami prone countries worldwide. Being a global analysis comprising the most relevant tsunami sources and probabilities, the study provides an overview of the global tsunami risk state-of-affairs on the national scale. Originally developed for broad interdisciplinary multi-risk studies comparing various natural hazards on the national and regional scale, the methods and results presented here are however not suitable for detailed local studies of the tsunami hazard and risk.

Permian Bryozoa from the Fitzroy Basin, Western Australia

The Bulletin describes and figures Bryozoa collected from three Permian formations in the West Kimberley district of Western Australia: the Nura Nura member of the Poole Sandstone, the Noonkanbah Formation, and the lower part of the Liveringa Group. Seventy-nine species are recorded. Forty-two of them are new species; and three new genera (Evactinostella, Etherella, and Liguloclerna) and a new family have been erected in the Cyclostomata. The facies relationships of the species show that habitat is an important factor in correlation. Ramose zoaria appear to be more adaptable than other forms, and some species are almost ubiquitous. The Nura Nura fauna may be correlated with the Callytharra Limestone of the Carnarvon Basin and possibly with the Lower Productus Limestone of the Salt Range of India. Many of the Nura Nura species are long-ranging. The Noonkanbah species are, on the whole, more restricted: they can be correlated, within Australia, with the Wandagee Formation and Baker Formation of the Carnarvon Basin. Outside Australia, the fauna shows resemblances to those of the Bitaoeni and Basleo Beds of Timor and an Artinskian fauna from Vancouver Island; some Fenestel1idae resemble Lower Permian species described from the Urals.

Applications of Geophysical Information to the Design of a Representative System of Marine Protected Areas in Southeastern Australia

Management of the marine environment in Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone is addressed by an Oceans Policy that was put forward by the government in 1998. The policy is being implemented through Regional Marine Plans, including the development of a network of representative Marine Protected Areas. The southeast region of Australia has been the first part of the Exclusive Economic Zone to undergo regional marine planning (in 2003) and Marine Protected Area development processes are currently in progress.
