Catalogue of Type, Figured and Cited Specimens in the Commonwealth Palaeontological Collection, Vertebrata

fossils housed in Canberra, and administered by the Australian Geological Survey Organization (AGSO), previouslyknown as the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology &amp; Geophysics (BMR). It originated with the appointment of aCommonwealth Palaeontologist in 1927, and since the 1950's has grown from a small collection of about 1,000specimens to its current size of over 30,000 specimens which have been described, figured, or referred to in scientificpublications. The rapid increase in size in recent years reflects a strong research effort to document fossil faunas andfloras from important localities throughout Australia, as well as Papua New Guinea, Australian Antarctic Territory,and the seafloor of our continental shelves. All of these areas have been the subject of geological investigations byAGSO. The CPC forms a taxonomic database which underpins all biochronological dating of AustralasianPhanerozoic sedimentary sequences, and thus forms the basis for biochronological age control using various fossilgroups, which is an integral part of most geological investigations concerned with stratified rocks. Such investigationsinclude geological mapping projects, and subsurface analysis of Australasian sedimentary basins, which areundertaken by AGSO in support of petroleum and mineral exploration and land use activities throughout the continent.

Geoscience Australia Marine Survey GA0332 (SS05/2011): Natural hydrocarbon seepage survey of the offshore northern Perth Basin - Total chlorins and chlorin indices of seabed sediments.

In September and October of 2011 Geoscience Australia surveyed part of the offshore northern Perth Basin in order to map potential sites of natural hydrocarbon seepage. The primary objectives of the survey were to map the spatial distribution of seepage sites and characterise the nature of the seepage at these sites (gas vs oil, macroseepage vs microseepage; palaeo vs modern day seepage) on the basis of: acoustic signatures in the water column, shallow subsurface and on the seabed; geochemical signatures in rock and sediment samples and the water column; and biological signatures on the seabed. Areas of potential natural hydrocarbon seepage that were surveyed included proven (drilled) oil and gas accumulations, a breached structure, undrilled hydrocarbon prospects, and areas with potential signatures of fluid seepage identified in seismic, satellite remote sensing and multibeam bathymetry data. Within each of these areas the survey acquired: water column measurements with the CTD; acoustic data with single- and multi-beam echosounders, sidescan sonar and sub-bottom profiler (sidescan not acquired in Area F as it was too deep in places); and sediment and biological samples with the Smith-McIntyre Grab. In addition, data were collected with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), integrated hydrocarbon sensor array, and CO2 sensor in selected areas. Sampling with the gravity corer had limited success in many of the more shallow areas (A-E) due to the coarse sandy nature of the seabed sediments. This dataset comprises total chlorin concentrations and chlorin indices from the upper 2 cm of seabed sediments.

Wind retrofit for older masonry buildings

This document is aimed to be a resource for you when discussing retrofit needs and options with clients and translating their retrofit objectives to detailed design, documentation and implementation.  The primary focus is the most vulnerable building construction type in Australia, older unreinforced masonry, but the principles are also informative to address other high risk building types.  The objective is cost-effective retrofit measures with minimised disruption to occupants that can address a significant portion of the earthquake risk to the building owner and the community more broadly.  It presents information that explains the nature of wind hazard in Western Australia, the risk it presents and the vulnerability factors that contribute to it.  It further describes the common failure modes that can be highlighted to clients and a range of measures that can be employed to preclude these.  It also links to other resources that can be drawn upon in developing tailored design solutions that the construction industry can readily implement.

Radiometric Grid of Australia (Radmap) v4 2019 filtered ppm uranium

The filtered uranium grid is a derivative of the 2019 radiometric or gamma-ray grid of Australia. 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 are collected on airborne geophysical surveys conducted by Commonwealth, State and Northern Territory Governments and the private sector.
The 2019 filtered uranium grid was derived by seamlessly merging over 600 airborne gamma-ray spectrometric surveys. The final grid has a cell size of about 100m (0.001 degrees) and shows uranium element concentrations of the Australia region.

Geochronological synthesis and Time-space plots for Proterozoic Australia

Determining the timing, duration and extent of geological events is a key component in the development of geodynamic models for a geological region. A useful way to depict this information is via Time-Space plots. This report presents Time-Space plots for each of the Proterozoic Inliers of Australia, together with explanatory notes describing the geological interpretation of the available data and highlighting major knowledge gaps. This series of Time-Space plots was produced in the period September-December 2006, as a component of the Proterozoic Geodynamic and Metallogenic Synthesis Project within the Onshore Energy and Minerals Division, Geoscience Australia.

Tanami EW 5ZA - TMI grid (AWAGS)

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.
This Tanami EW 5ZA - TMI grid (AWAGS) has a cell size of 0.00018 degrees (approximately 20m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2018 by the NT Government, and consisted of 1547 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the grid, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey grid.

3D Web Mapping - 3D Geoscience Information Online

Scientists within Geoscience Australia create complex models of 3D geological structures. These models are built using specialised 3D modelling software to which very few people outside of Geoscience Australia have access. To overcome this access problem, Geoscience Australia has developed 3D VRML (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) models, to display interactive 3D data using a web browser plug-in - hence 3D web mapping. VRML is an open source standard for 3D graphics on the web. Geoscience Australia's 3D web mapping development is unique and has proved to be a very effective method for communicating large amounts of complex 3D geoscientific and geospatial information to a wide audience. Geoscience Australia has produced nearly 40 unique 3D VRML models during the last five years, some of which are available for online interaction on the Geoscience Australia website. The next challenge for Geoscience Australia's visualisers is to move from VRML to X3D - the XML successor to VRML. This paper outlines the motivations for developing 3D VRML models, explains the technologies used, and takes a brief look at possible future developments.
