Yalgoo 1:250 000 topographic map

This map is part of the series that covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 513 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. Coordinates: Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies.

Adavale Basin region: Hydrogen potential package

The potential for hydrogen production in the Adavale Basin region is assessed to provide a joint information base for hydrogen generation potential from renewable energy, groundwater, and natural gas coupled with carbon capture and storage (CCS). Hydrogen generation requires water, whether using electrolysis with renewable energy or steam methane reforming (SMR) with CCS. The data package includes the regional renewable energy capacity factor, aquifers and their properties (potential yield, salinity, and reserves or storativity), natural gas resources, and geological storage potential for carbon dioxide (CO2). This data guide gives examples of how the compiled data can be used.
The renewable hydrogen potential is assessed based on renewable energy capacity factor and groundwater information (potential yield, salinity, and reserves or storativity). Eight aquifers from overlying basins (Galilee, Eromanga and Lake Eyre basins) are included in the assessment. The Adavale Basin region has low renewable hydrogen potential, except for some locations in the south-east and south-west. Although the renewable energy capacity factor in the basin is high, aquifers tend to have poor groundwater reserves or storativity, which results in lower overall renewable hydrogen potential.
The Adavale Basin itself has no newly identified gas accumulation. However, gas reserves and contingent resources were identified in the overlying Galilee and Eromanga basins (Geoscience Australia, 2022). An assessment of CO2 geological storage also shows prospective storage areas in the Eromanga Basin within the Adavale Basin region (Bradshaw et al., 2023). Further work on identifying detailed gas potential is needed to assess hydrogen generation potential from gas.

Facilitating dynamic geoscientific data delivery for the GeoInsight pilot. A methodology for database, web service and application development

GeoInsight was an 18-month pilot project developed in the latter part of Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Program (2016–2024). The aim of this pilot was to develop a new approach to communicating geological information to non-technical audiences, that is, non-geoscience professionals. The pilot was developed using a human-centred design approach in which user needs were forefront considerations. Interviews and testing found that users wanted a simple and fast, plain-language experience which provided basic information and provided pathways for further research. GeoInsight’s vision is to be an accessible experience that curates information and data from across the Geoscience Australia ecosystem, helping users make decisions and refine their research approach, quickly and confidently.

Geoscience Australia hosts a wealth of geoscientific data, and the quantity of data available in the geosciences is expanding rapidly. This requires newly developed applications such as the GeoInsight pilot to be adaptable and malleable to changes and updates within this data. As such, utilising the existing Oracle databases, web service publication and platform development workflows currently employed within Geoscience Australia (GA) were optimal choices for data delivery for the GeoInsight pilot.&nbsp;This record is intended to give an overview of the how and why of the technical infrastructure of this project. It aims to summarise how the underlying databases were used for both existing and new data, as well as development of web services to supply the data to the pilot application.&nbsp;

GSNSW Southern Darling Basin ppm thorium 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 thorium grid has a cell size of 0.00082 degrees (approximately 84m) and shows thorium element concentration of the Southern Darling Basin Airborne Survey, NSW, 2005 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2005 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 18763 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Distribution of Igneous Facies and Results of Potential Field Modelling of the Mentelle Basin, Southwestern Margin, Australia

Recently acquired seismic reflection and gravity potential field data was used to investigate the distribution of volcanic facies and large scale structural architecture of the Mentelle Basin, located on the southwestern margin of Australia.  Isochron and seismic facies maps were used to identify the thickness and distribution of volcanic facies.  These maps show that volcanism is generally confined to the Western Mentelle Basin, with two distinct areas of thick volcanic deposits occurring to the centre and north of the area.  
Two and three dimensional gravity forward models were created in IGMAS+.  Two dimensional gravity modelling shows that the crust is extremely thin in the Western Mentelle (c.10km), associated with two mantle highs observed to the north and centre of the Western Mentelle.  The crust thickens from the Eastern Mentelle (&gt;20km) towards mainland Australia and the Naturaliste Plateau.  The two modelled mantle highs coincide with the two seismically defined areas of thick volcanic deposits.  
Analogue models indicate that rift related volcanism is generally confined to the locus of extension where the pressure is lowest.  Thus results of gravity modelling and seismic interpretation in this study indicate that Jurassic - Cretaceous extension was focussed in the Western Mentelle.  This conclusion conforms to models of rift related basin formation, where the flanks of the basin are uplifted; an angular unconformity in the Eastern Mentelle may support the occurrence of rift-flank uplift in this area as a result of asthenospheric rise and rifting while the deposition of volcanic material was focussed in the Western Mentelle.

North Queensland geology

Since the discovery of gold at Cape River in 1867, mining has played an important role in North
Queensland by providing income, opening up new areas to settlement and providing markets for
pastoralists and retailers. Mining is valued at more than $700 million per annum. Over 24 million
ounces of gold have been mined or discovered in North Queensland. The Charters Towers district
is a world class gold province with 15 million ounces of gold discovered in that area alone to date.
Bauxite is a major commodity, contributing 10% of the world's production. The area has also been
a major tin producer, and has produced, or is producing, base metals, nickel, tungsten, kaolin,
antimony, silver, gemstones, limestone, dimension stone, dolomite, perlite, fluorite, molybdenum
and diatomite.

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 NSW DMR, Discovery 2000, 1994-95, AREA I, Albury survey were acquired in 1996 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 35041 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 60m 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.

Pine Creek - Kombolgie VTEM AEM Survey, NT, 2010 Final Data including infill areas: K1, K2 and K3. (P1195)

During 2008 and 2009, and under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Initiative, Geoscience Australia acquired airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data over the Pine Creek Orogen of the Northern Territory. The survey area was split into three areas for acquisition. VTEM data was acquired in the Kombolgie area east of Kakadu National Park (this data set) between August and November 2008. TEMPEST data was acquired west of Kakadu National Park with the area split in two to facilitate the use of two aircraft: the Woolner Granite area in the north was acquired between October and December 2008; and the Rum Jungle area adjoining to the south, was acquired between October 2008 and May 2009. The main purpose of the surveys was to provide additional geophysical/geological context for unconformity style uranium mineral systems and thereby promote related exploration. The survey data will also provide information on depth to Proterozoic/Archean basement, which is of general interest to explorers, and will be used as an input into ground water studies in the region.
This dataset includes the subscriber company data K1 K2 and K3.

Community risk in Cairns: a multi-hazard risk assessment

The AGSO Cities Project was established in 1996 to undertake research directed towards the mitigation of the risks faced by Australian urban communities that are posed by a range of geohazards. Geohazards are broadly defined to include all earth surface processes with the potential to cause loss or harm to the community or the environment. The ultimate objective is to improve the safety of communities, and consequently make them more sustainable and prosperous. To provide a realistic focus to this research, and to achieve practical outcomes, the Cities Project is using a series of case studies based on Queensland centres to develop and test its science and techniques. Cairns is the first of these multi-hazard case studies.
Cairns is the most northerly of Queensland's cities and one of the fastest growing communities in Australia. It is also an isolated community, located some 1 400 km from Brisbane (Figure (i)). Cairns has a resident population of approximately 120 000 and this total can exceed 150 000 at the height of the tourist season.

South West Pacific Data Package

As part of the BMR-APIRA Phanerozoic History of Australia Project geological information has been compiled for those parts of the south west Pacific that are part of the Australian Plate or are closely adjacent to it. The area includes the island groups of Tonga, Fiji, New Hebrides (Vanuatu) and the Solomons and the associated ocean basins and plateaux. Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and the Tasman Sea have been dealt with in other project reports.
The information has been compiled in order to produce time slice palaeogeographic maps of the Australian plate. The data are presented in the form of summary stratigraphic columns, time
slice data maps and palaeogeographic maps, and this report which includes an appendix of data point descriptions. 
The aim of the project has been to provide a new data synthesis relevant to petroleum exploration in the region. The petroleum potential of the south west Pacific itself is limited, but the study of this area has relevance for understanding the development of Australian basins in their regional context.
Tectonic events clearly recorded on this eastern plate margin have impact within the continent, such as the wrench reactivation of structures in the Gippsland Basin in the mid-Eocene which has
been related to a rearrangement of the Pacific plate (Etheridge &amp; others, 1991).
