Dalhousie Gravity Survey South Australia, 1963 By French Petroleum Company (Australia) Pty Limited

Wongela GeoIilysical Pty Ltd conducted a helicopter gravity survey for the French Petroleum Company (Australia) Pty Limited in northern South Australia during the period 22nd August to 21st November, 1963, and established 2204 new gravity stations. The area surveyed is in Oil Exploration Licences Nos 20 and 21, and originally covered 34,000 square miles. This area was increased to 35,500 square miles to fill in a gap between the subject survey and the Delhi Alton Downs survey farther east. The work is tied to previous reconnaissance gravity surveys in Central Australia and completes the gravity coverage of the Simpson Desert.
The survey was carried out to determine the extent of Palaeozoic sedimentation in the area and in particular to determine whether Amadeus Basin sediments extend into the survey area. These sediments are masked in the area by relatively flat-lying Mesozoic and more recent sediments. The younger sediments have much the same thickness and density throughout the survey area, and for this reason their contribution to variations in the anomaly field is small. Hence the variations in the anomaly field are thought to be due mainly to density contrasts in the basement and between the basement and pre-Mesozoic sediments.
The survey results have defined some major geological structural units. These are described and discussed individually in the text of the report. Of particular interest is the Dalhousie Gravity Depression which probably represents a large area of pre-Permian sedimentation, about 8000 feet in thickness. To the east of this feature is a platform area which was probably fairly stable and high standing dUring pre-Permian time in which period it received only a thin cover of sediments. It is probable that since early Permian times the area has been depressed relative to the area of the Dalhousie Gravity Depression and the area farther west, and has received extensive Permian and Mesozoic sedimentation, the sediments thickening towards the east.

Childara - dose rate grid (AWAGS)

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. The total dose rate is due to natural sources of radiation and is computed by adding estimates of cosmic dose at ground level to the terrestrial dose. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered total dose rate grid.
This Childara - dose rate grid (AWAGS) has a cell size of 0.0004 degrees (approximately 41m) and shows the total dose rate of the Childara Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, SA, 2017 survey. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2017 by the SA Government, and consisted of 135047 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Lower Permian pelycepods and gastropods from the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia

A new genus, Praeundulomya, has been erected to embrace forms from the Lower Permian rocks of Western Australia. The type species, P. concentrica, is described. Species of the new genus are known from the Lyons Group, the Coyrie Formation, and the Bulgadoo Shale, in the Carnarvon Basin. Praeundulomya is related to Allorisma-like forms such as Edmondia sulcata (Phillips), and is probably ancestral to Undulomya Fletcher.

Tanami NS 5S - 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 NS 5S - 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 15632 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.

Great Artesian Basin - Cadna-owie Hooray Aquifer - Potassium Concentration

Data used to produce the predicted Potassium map for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2015).
There are four layers in the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer Potassium map data
A. Location of hydrochemistry samples (Point data, Shapefile)
B. Predicted Concentration (Filled contours , Shapefile)
C. Predicted Concentration Contours (Contours, Shapefile)
D. Prediction Standard Error (Filled contours , Shapefile)
The predicted values provide a regional based estimate and may be associated with considerable error. It is recommended that the predicted values are read together with the predicted error map, which provides an estimate of the absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map.
The predicted standard error map provides an absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map. Please note this is not a relative error map and the concentration of a parameter needs to be considered when interpreting the map. Predicted standard error values are low where the concentration is low and there is a high density of samples. Predicted standard errors values can be high where the concentration is high and there is moderate variability between nearby samples or where there is a paucity of data.
Concentrations are Potassium in mg/L.
Coordinate system is Lambert conformal conic GDA 1994, with central meridian 134 degrees longitude, standard parallels at -18 and -36 degrees latitude.
The Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer Potassium map is one of 14 hydrochemistry maps for the Cadna-owie - Hooray Aquifer and 24 hydrochemistry maps in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2014).

Modelling the vulnerability of old URM buildings and the benefit of retrofit

The Shire of York is partnering with the WA Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES), the University of Adelaide and Geoscience Australia in a collaborative project that will examine the opportunities for reducing the vulnerability of the township of York to a major earthquake. The project forms part of the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Collaborative Research Centre project “Cost-effective Mitigation Strategy Development for Building related Earthquake Risk”. The township of York has a number of valuable historical buildings that contribute greatly to the town’s economic prosperity and, at the same time, are vulnerable to earthquakes. 
One of the benefits of retrofitting old buildings is the reduction in physical building repair required following a damaging earthquake. To evaluate this benefit it is necessary to know the vulnerability of the unmitigated building and how this changes following retrofit.
This paper describes the approach taken to quantitatively estimate the vulnerability of unmitigated and retrofitted pre-WW1 URM buildings typical of the buildings found in York. Challenges in estimating vulnerability are discussed. Vulnerability curves are presented for one of six generic building types subjected to a range of retrofit scenarios and the economic benefit of each retrofit scenario is discussed.

Aspects of the structural histories of the tertiary sedimentary basins of East, Central and West Kalimantan and their margins

The Cainozoic structural history of west, central and east Kalimantan may have begun with formation of melange in the early Eocene, and a surrounding disturbed zone in which part of a mainly Cretaceous flysch trough and associated shelf deposits have been thrown into a confusion of dips and strikes. Uplift of the disturbed zone and adjacent southem outer shelf deposits of the trough was followed by sub-aerial extrusion of mid Eocene volcanics. Between early late Eocene and mid Oligocene times bursts of compression produced structural highs and a shifting pattern of complementary flanking basin depocentres. Uplifted flysch-trough sediments became a northern provenance for the basins (and perhaps a southern provenance for more flysch deposition to the north) and may have been folded further in the process. In the south the Schwaner Batholith provided a bulwark to compression, although its northern margin was upwarped as a consequence. In the east deposits prograded southeastwards away from the northern provenance. As compression tailed off and basin down warping and northern flysch provenance uplift consequently diminished, a peneplane may have begun to form on the flysch. This would have gradually decreased the amount of detritus available for filling the gradually shallowing basins. In the west downwarping and deposition probably ceased in the early Oligocene as a result of regional uplift. In the east renewed compression in the mid Oligocene caused uplift and folding, and interrupted prograding deposition.  Penecontemporaneous intrusion of acid to intermediate stocks, plugs, dykes and sills occurred in both east and west. Prograding deposition recommenced in the east in the late Oligocene and has continued intermittently since; the northwestern provenance for the deposits has been uplifted from time to time, on occasion in conjunction with volcanism. The flysch fold belt that is central to the island of Borneo, on the evidence from the region analysed, was bent to its present shape in mid to late Tertiary times.
