Basins and Ranges - A cross-section through sedimentation and tectonism along the Delamerian-Lachlan deep crustal seismic line 22GA-DL1

Globally, deep crustal seismic surveys have been used to investigate crustal architecture, crust- formation mechanisms, and to study mineral system settings. In addition to providing information about the fundamental structure of the crust, there is increasing recognition of the ability of seismic and complimentary deep-penetrating geophysical techniques like magnetotellurics in mapping ‘vertically accretive structures’ exploited by lithospheric-scale mineral systems such as Olympic Dam.

These co-located surveys can map both crustal architecture and modification processes particularly important for ore formation, such as zones of fluid/ magma flux, and alteration, and have already been used successfully in the Delamerian Orogen to identify fluid pathways.
This article discusses data acquisition and processing, and subsequent interpretation.

Continent scale crustal mapping within the Resourcing Australias Prosperity initiative

Resourcing Australia's Prosperity is the Australian Government’s 35-year, $3.4 billion precompetitive geoscience initiative, led by Geoscience Australia, to accelerate the discovery and development of critical minerals and other resources, to support Australia’s net zero transition, and enable responsible management of all resources.

As part of the initial 10-year roadmap, Geoscience Australia will deliver the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative (RAPi) though four interrelated components: (1) Australia-wide geoscience: national datasets for mapping the continent; (2) National resource assessments: evaluating the potential for numerous systems, including critical minerals, natural hydrogen and strategic materials; (3) Deep-dives: detailed, multi-commodity assessments of defined regions to enhance the understanding of their resource prospectivity; and (4) Delivery, awareness-raising and engagement: fostering collaborative relationships and building datasets for improved decision-making by government, industry and communities.

The Isotopic Atlas of Australia program, which has been active since 2016, envisioned the production of terrane- to continent-scale isotopic and geochemical maps which could be used alongside large-scale geophysical surveys, such as the AusLAMP, AusArray and AusAEM programs. This program continues in RAPi, and forms a major part of the first three components of the 10-year roadmap. These maps have the potential to change the understanding of the Australian continent and the localisation of multiple mineral systems, including those of critical minerals.

This poster presents the results of over two decades of geochronological and isotopic work across Australia in the form of U-Pb zircon geochronology and Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf, and O-isotopic systems. These maps can be used at the continent-, terrane, or belt-scale and show significant correlations with mineral systems. This method has been successfully applied across Paleozoic rocks of the Tasmanides (eastern Australia) and could be applied to Phanerozoic accretionary systems in North America. Ultimately, these maps help us understand the spatial evolution of the Australian crust and the mineral systems connected to that multi-billion-year story.

Advancing Sustainable Resource Recovery, Australias Remining Potential

Critical minerals and strategic materials, essential for clean energy, transport, and advanced technologies, are often present at low concentrations in Australian ore deposits. Historically, conventional processing methods were unable to recover these materials, leading to their accumulation in mine tailings, waste rock, and smelter residues. Re-mining these materials supports sustainable recovery and enables greater value to be realised from already discovered mineral deposits.&nbsp;



Under&nbsp;the Australian Government’s 35-year Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative, Geoscience Australia is assessing Australia’s re-mining potential.&nbsp;In&nbsp;collaboration with The University of Queensland, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, and state and territory geological surveys,&nbsp;this project&nbsp;represents&nbsp;a pioneering effort to sustainably recover critical minerals from secondary sources and aims to enhance resilience,&nbsp;sustainability&nbsp;and efficiency in Australia's mineral resources sector.&nbsp;This is the first national-scale initiative to systematically assess the re-mining potential of legacy mine waste across Australia, addressing a critical knowledge gap amid growing global demand for secure and responsible mineral supply chains.&nbsp;



The project delivers geospatial and technical information via the Atlas of Australian Re-mining Potential, alongside geochemical analyses of selected case study sites. These resources support consistent, evidence-based evaluation of re-mining opportunities.&nbsp;



Future work will explore Australia’s secondary resource potential by estimating critical mineral content at selected sites using existing geochemical insights and publicly available resource data.&nbsp;Continued efforts to characterise&nbsp;additional&nbsp;sites and develop new methodologies and tools will support both the extraction and modern management of reprocessed&nbsp;mine&nbsp;waste.&nbsp;



By transforming legacy mine waste into strategic assets, Australia can diversify its critical minerals supply, reduce the footprint of past mining, and strengthen resilience in global markets, positioning itself at the forefront of responsible resource development and the global energy transition.&nbsp;

Automated and Efficient Surface wave Phase Velocity Estimation and Quality Control Ambient Noise Tomography in The Big Data Era

Ambient noise tomography (ANT) has evolved from pioneering laboratory experiments into a widely used method for imaging Earth's subsurface at various scales. A standard framework involves selecting concurrent data windows from two stations, removing trends, normalising in time and frequency domains, cross-correlating (CC) the normalised data, and stacking CCs to obtain the noise correlation function (NCF). Surface wave dispersion properties between station pairs are then extracted from the NCF. A common approach of extracting dispersion curves matches the zeros of the NCF spectrum with those of the first-kind Bessel function. However, this method does not account for missing or extra zeros in the spectrum, leading to discontinuities in dispersion data. Researchers have employed various ways to limit such encounters, via employing various smoothing operators or by manually checking the data. 

In this study, we introduce an empirical relationship between zero spacing in the spectrum and inter-station distance, termed the empirical zero-distance law (EZDL). We use EZDL to develop a fully automated workflow that can navigate through missing or extra zeros in the spectrum. Additionally, we propose a new quality control metric, the well-placed zero ratio (WZR), which outperforms traditional metrics such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in tracking surface wave arrivals. We demonstrate how applying EZDL for dispersion curve tracking and WZR for quality control significantly enhances ANT imaging results for the AusArray deployment in Northern Territory, Australia. AusArray, initially funded through the Exploring for the Future program continues with an expanded deployment as part of the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative.

AusSeabed Sharing data to understand Australia's Seabed

Before planning commercial activities in Australian waters, pre-competitive data is essential to characterise the seabed environment. 

AusSeabed is a collaborative initiative that brings together publicly available seabed data and coordinates future data collection. AusSeabed is led by Geoscience Australia and involves partners from across Commonwealth and State governments, academia, and private industry. 

All data is published through the AusSeabed data portal. This includes survey data collected by government agencies, research institutions, and private industry as well as seamless regional and national gridded bathymetric surfaces. The portal also contains metadata for unpublished surveys as well as contextual environmental data, including geomorphology, sedimentology, geophysical, and coastal datasets. 

The data in AusSeabed is crucial for offshore energy development. Bathymetric surfaces are needed for oceanographic models that are used to assess wave and tidal energy, as well as for site assessments and marine spatial planning. Beyond those immediate uses, AusSeabed data has wide-ranging applications and benefits across multiple ocean sectors, including industry (offshore energy, fishing, and tourism); Defence, marine park management; environmental impact assessments; hazard modelling (tsunami and storm surge); and maritime boundary definition. 

As part of the collaboration, the AusSeabed community has developed a Survey Coordination Tool, where users are invited to share broad areas of interest, submit direct requests for surveys to be conducted by the Australian Hydrographic Office’s Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program (HIPP), or publish their own survey plans. The Areas of Interest are used by government and research agencies to help prioritise new data collection and the processing of legacy bathymetric data that is currently unavailable for reuse. 

As a community-guided initiative, AusSeabed is a central hub for bathymetric quality guidelines, shared activities, and news. If you’re working on or above Australia’s seabed, you need to get involved.
