GSQ Ayr St Lawrence Qld percent potassium 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.
This radiometric potassium grid has a cell size of 0.00096 degrees (approximately 103m) and shows potassium element concentration of the Ayr-St Lawrence, QLD, AIRDATA, 1996 in units of percent (or %). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1995 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 108435 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance.

Craton-scale controls and time-space distribution of IOCG and gold systems in the Gawler Craton

This talk outlines three key regional geological features considered to be essential for development of major iron oxide copper-gold systems in the Gawler Craton. They are as follows:
       1. A plumbing system, comprising crustal-scale structures that developed during Palaeoproterozoic orogenesis along the margins of the Archaean core of the Gawler Craton. 
      2. Coeval timing of IOCG hydrothermal activity and Hiltaba-GRV magmatism at ~1575-1595 Ma. 
Anomalous high heat input to the crust, resulting in particular igneous rock compositions and high-temperature IOCG alteration at ~1575-1595 Ma

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sj53-07)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files.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.

Carpentaria Basin (Holroyd, Ebagoola, Cape Melville), QLD, 1973 (P402), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 These line dataset from the Carpentaria Basin (Holroyd, Ebagoola, Cape Melville), QLD, 1973 survey were acquired in 1973 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 24969 line-kilometres of data at 3000m line spacing and 150m 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.

Landscape mapping informing Antarctic Specially Protected Area management

Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 143 Marine Plain in East Antarctica is valued for its “outstanding fossil fauna and rare geological features” (ATCM XXXVI 2013) but scientific evidence to guide its protection is sparse. The fragile Sørsdal Formation contains diverse marine vertebrate and invertebrate fauna, preserving a unique record of Antarctic environmental conditions in the Pliocene (Quilty et al. 2000). Strict permitting and access conditions are in place for the ASPA but evidence-based guidance for decision makers on how to assess the risks to the values of the ASPA is minimal. 

We will present the results of geological mapping, aerial imagery collection, and field observations from Marine Plain to consider the impact of foot traffic and helicopter access to the ASPA and provide options for future monitoring and management. Surficial geology of the broader Vestfold Hills (a 400 km2 ice-free region in East Antarctica) was mapped at 1:2000 scale using aerial photos, satellite imagery, a digital elevation model, and field observations (McLennan et al. 2021, McLennan et al. 2022). From this regional-scale mapping, we show that the glacial sediments draping bedrock hills in Marine Plain are typical of the Vestfold Hills region and do not represent the vulnerable Sørsdal Formation or the thermokarst features considered unique to the ASPA. Polygons outlining recommended landing areas for helicopters in the Marine Plain ASPA were derived using a buffer around the Sørsdal Formation, lakes, away from the edge of steep bedrock slopes, and higher that the limit of Pliocene marine inundation. Our results show how foundational datasets like landform and geomorphology mapping can provide robust evidence to support informed ASPA management.

IMOS - Ocean Radar - Northwest Shelf HF ocean radar site (Western Australia, Australia)

The Northwest Shelf (NWA) HF ocean radar system covers an area which includes the Ningaloo Peninsula and the Ningaloo Reef to the west.  The Ningaloo Reef is one of the longest and most pristine reefs in the world. The reef is rich in marine biodiversity, with shark whales, turtles and fish aggregations, and high primary and secondary productions which are controlled by the physical oceanographic processes.  
The NWA HF ocean radar is a WERA phased array system with 12-element receive arrays located at the Jurabi Turtle Centre (21.8068 S, 114.1015 E) and Point Billie (22.5432 S, 113.690 E).  These radars operate at a frequency of 5.2625 MHz, with a bandwidth of 25 KHz and a maximum range of 200 Km.  Within the HF radar coverage area surface currents are measured.  Data are also collected from which wind directions and significant wave height can be calculated.
