The High Quality Geophysical Analysis software package: HiQGA.jl

The High Quality Geophysical Analysis (HiQGA) package is a fully-featured, Julia-language based open source framework for geophysical forward modelling, Bayesian inference, and deterministic imaging. A primary focus of the code is production inversion of airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data from a variety of acquisition systems. Adding custom AEM systems is simple using Julia’s multiple dispatch feature. For probabilistic spatial inference from geophysical data, only a misfit function needs to be supplied to the inference engine. For deterministic inversion, a linearisation of the forward operator (i.e., Jacobian) is also required. HiQGA is natively parallel, and inversions from a full day of production AEM acquisition can be inverted on thousands of CPUs within a few hours. This allows for quick assessment of the quality of the acquisition, and provides geological interpreters preliminary subsurface images of EM conductivity together with associated uncertainties. HiQGA inference is generic by design – allowing for the analysis of diverse geophysical data. Surface magnetic resonance (SMR) geophysics for subsurface water-content estimation is available as a HiQGA plugin through the SMRPInversion (SMR probabilistic inversion) wrapper. The results from AEM and/or SMR inversions are used to create images of the subsurface, which lead to the creation of geological models for a range of applications. These applications range from natural resource exploration to its management and conservation.

Australian seismological report, 1993

Nineteen ninety-three was a particularly quiet year for Australian earthquakes, only 59 events had a magnitude of ML 3.0 or more. No damaging earthqakes occurred in Australia and the largest at Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, had a magnitude of ML4.8.
The Tennant Creek earthquake sequence which began in 1986 continued its prolific although  declining activity.
Intensity questionnaires were distributed for small four earthquakes and isoseismal maps prepared for the events at the Gold Coast, Borumba Reservoir and Lady Elliot Island in Queensland and Willunga in South Australia.
A swarm of small earthquakes occurred near Mukinbudin, 250 km east-north-east of Perth in Western Australia. The swarm was similar to others that have occurred in earlier years throughout the wheatbelt.
Recordings of strong motion data were also sparce and none of them were of direct engineering significamce with only two earthquakes of magnitude ML &gt; 2.9 triggering accelerographs. The highest acceleration recorded was 1260 mmls/s from a magnitude ML 2.7 earthquake at a distance of 0.5 km.
Worldwide there were 13 major earthquakes, the largest with a magnitude of Ms 8.0 occurred south of the Mariana Islands on 08 August. No one was killed however 48 people were injured on Guam. The most devastating earthquake was an intraplate earthquake of magnitude Ms 6.3, which occurred in peninsula India near Latur and Killari on 29 September killing 9748 people. Several hundred people drowned when a large tsunami swept the Japan Sea following an earthquake in southwest Hokkaido and several other tsunamis were recorded.
World-wide, more than 10 100 people died in earthquakes in 1993, compared with 2880 and 2800 in 1992 and 1991 respectively. The average for the century is about 10000 per year.
During 1994, a single underground nuclear explosion was detonated; by China at the Lop Nor test site on 7 October. Other nuclear weapons States abided by a self-imposed moratorium on testing in recognition of the changed international political climate.

GSV Mallacoota VIMP Vic pot tho ura totg 4band radiometric grid geodetic

This GSV Mallacoota VIMP Vic pot tho ura totg 4band radiometric grid geodetic is an airborne-derived radiometric Potassium, Thorium and Uranium data over a sun shaded total count radiometric data for the Mallacoota, Eastern Highlands, Vic, 1994/95 VIMP Survey (GSV3021). 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 uranium (K), uranium (U) and uranium (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 GSV Mallacoota VIMP Vic pot tho ura totg 4band radiometric grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 49m). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1994 by the VIC Government, and consisted of 33359 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 70m terrain clearance. The grid was produced by applying the colours red to the Potassium ground concentration, green to the Thorium concentration and blue to the Uranium concentration. The colours were clipped to a 99% linear scale. These colours were transparent over a shaded Total Count. This clipping will necessarily introduce some artefacts into the ratio grids in areas of very low radioelement concentrations. The 3-band image was superposed on the sun shaded TC grid of the same survey to produce the final image.

Predicted seabed gravel content in the north-northwest region of the Australian continental EEZ 2013

This dataset provides the spatially continuous data of predicted seabed gravel content (sediment fraction greater than 2000 Âµm) expressed as a weight percentage ranging from 0 to 100%, presented in 0.0025 decimal degree (dd) resolution raster grids format and ascii text file. The dataset covers the north-northwest region of the Australian continental EEZ. This dataset supersedes previous predictions of seabed gravel content for the region with demonstrated improvements in accuracy. Accuracy of predictions varies based on density of underlying data and level of seabed complexity. Artefacts occur in this dataset as a result of insufficient samples in relevant areas. This dataset is intended for use at regional scale. The dataset may not be appropriate for use at local scales in areas where sample density is insufficient to detect local variation in sediment properties. To obtain the most accurate interpretation of sediment distribution in these areas, it is recommended that additional samples be collected and interpolations updated.

New insights into the Late Permian–Early Triassic depositional history in the southern Bonaparte Basin – Extended Abstract 2021 APPEA Conference

The upper Permian to Lower Triassic sedimentary succession in the southern Bonaparte Basin represents an extensive marginal marine depositional system that hosts several gas accumulations. Of these, the Blacktip gas field has been in production since 2009, while additional identified gas resources are under consideration for development. The sedimentary succession extends across the Permian–Triassic stratigraphic boundary, and shows a change in lithofacies changes from the carbonate dominated Dombey Formation to the siliciclastic dominated Tern and Penguin formations. The timing, duration, distribution and depositional environments of these formations in the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High is the focus of this study.
The sedimentary succession extending from the Dombey to the Penguin formations is interpreted to represent marginal marine facies which accumulated during a long-lasting marine transgression that extended over previous coastal and alluvial plain sediments of the Cape Hay Formation. The overlying Mairmull Formation represents the transition fully to marine deposition in the Early Triassic. 
Regional scale well correlations and an assessment of available biostratigraphic data suggest marginal marine deposition systems were initiated outboard before the End Permian Extinction event, subsequently migrated inboard at about the Permian–Triassic stratigraphic boundary, and continued to be deposited through the faunal and floral recovery phase as Triassic species became established. The depositional history of the basin is translated to a chronostratigraphic framework which has implications for predicting the character and distribution of petroleum system elements in the Petrel Sub-basin and Londonderry High.

Residential flood losses in Perth, Western Australia

The Swan River is the main river through Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. Direct tangible economic losses to residential dwellings in Perth was based on hydraulic modelling using the one dimensional unsteady flow model HEC-RAS, geographical information systems, a building exposure database and synthetic stage-damage curves. Eight flood scenarios ranging from the 10 year average recurrence interval (ARI) to the 2000 year ARI event were examined.  The combined structure and contents flood losses ranged from A$17 million to A$659 million for insured structures and A$14 million to A$583 million for uninsured structures. This equates to an average annual damage of A$9.6 million and A$7.9 million respectively. The results reinforce the need to consider a wide range of varying magnitude flood events when assessing losses due to the temporal and spatial variation between flood scenarios.
