Geology of the Dobbyn

These data are a digital representation of information depicted on the printed map of the Dobbyn 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by AGSO and the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) in 1972 (2nd edition).
Data present include geological polygons (litho-stratigraphic units), linear structural features (faults, dykes, folds, trends, lineaments etc), and point features (mines, structural points etc). Polygons have a range of attributes extracted from each individual map including unit name, age and lithological description, while lines and points are feature coded according to the AGSO publication 'Symbols Used On Geological Maps' (BMR 1989). A standard look-up table of AGSO geological codes and associated descriptions is available (see ADDITIONAL METADATA).
The data has gradually evolved from elementary CAD quality data into its present topologically structured GIS format, and hence has many imperfections and inconsistencies. Data has undergone rigorous validation and testing that includes over 80 different tests. See ADDITIONAL METADATA for more information on the data standards used.

Hydrochemistry Applied to Mineral Exploration: A new initiative in northern Australia

Mineral exploration in Australia currently faces the challenge of declining discovery rates despite continued exploration investment. The UNCOVER roadmap has highlighted the need for discovering mineral systems in areas under cover. This is where prospective basement is covered by regolith, challenging many traditional exploration methods that rely on outcrop sampling. To demonstrate, many of Australia’s world-class deposits to date are situated in outcrop to very shallow cover (Fig. 1). Geoscience Australia’s minerals hydrochemistry project, part of the  Exploring for the Future  (EFTF) Programme which extends until 2020, aims to use groundwater chemistry to better understand the bedrock-regolith system and develop new methods for recognising mineral system footprints within and below cover. This data will be collected in a focus area within northern Australia, alongside numerous other geophysical and geochemical techniques to in part provide a comprehensive understanding of iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) and basin-hosted mineral systems

Collection of hydrocarbon shows data from petroleum wells (known as RESFACS database/Shows)

Hydrocarbon shows data are part of Geoscience Australia’s Reservoir, Facies and Shows (RESFACS) database, which contains depth-based information regarding hydrocarbon shows identified or interpreted during the drilling and evaluation of offshore and onshore petroleum wells.
A hydrocarbon show is considered to be any indication of oil or gas observed during the drilling or evaluation of a petroleum well. Shows include data collected from well site observations, well logging, petrophysical analysis and well testing and/or sampling. A show evaluation is the complete analysis of a hydrocarbon-bearing formation with respect to lithology, depth and thickness, type and show value which indicates the potential productivity of the formation.
Data entered into the shows table are most commonly sourced from both the Basic and Interpretive volumes of the Well Completion Reports (WCR) provided by the petroleum well operator under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act (OPGGSA) 2006 and previous Petroleum (submerged Lands) Act (PSLA) 1967. Data is also sourced from hydrocarbon shows evaluations conducted by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor organisations, the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) and the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR), and from state and territory geological organisations. Other open file data from company announcements and reports, scientific publications and university theses are also captured.
The database structure has evolved over time and will keep changing as different types of petroleum data become available and the delivery platform changes. Data was initially delivered through the Petroleum Wells web page, http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/www/npm.well.search, which is in the process of being decommissioned. The hydrocarbon shows data will be available for viewing and download via the Geoscience Australia Portal Core, https://portal.ga.gov.au/.

Magnetic Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2020 - Enhanced Products Package - upward continued image (UC24km30kmRes)

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 2019 Total magnetic Intensity (TMI) grid of Australia has a grid cell size of ~3 seconds of arc (approximately 80 m). This grid only includes airborne-derived TMI data for onshore and near-offshore continental areas. Since the sixth edition was released in 2015, data from 234 new surveys have been added to the database, acquired mainly by the State and Territory Geological Surveys. The new grid was derived from a re-levelling of the national magnetic grid database. The survey grids were levelled to each other, and to the Australia Wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS), which serves as a baseline to constrain long wavelengths in the final grid. It is estimated that 33 500 000 line-kilometres of survey data were acquired to produce the 2019 grid data, about 2 000 000 line-kilometres more than for the previous edition. 
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 Magnetic Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2020 - Enhanced Products Package - upward continued image (UC24km30kmRes) is a pseudocolour image of the TMI grid of the Magnetic Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2019.
This grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m). This pseudocolour image shows the magnetic response of subsurface features with contrasting magnetic susceptibilities. The image can also be used to locate structural features such as dykes.
