Enhanced barest earth Landsat imagery for soil and lithological modelling: Dataset

Please Note: The data related to this Abstract can be obtained by contacting Manager Client Services and quoting Catalogue number 144231. The data are arranged by regions, so please download the Data Description document found in the Downloads tab to determine your area of interest.
Remotely sensed datasets provide fundamental information for understanding the chemical, physical and temporal dynamics of the atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. Satellite remote sensing has been used extensively in mapping the nature and characteristics of the terrestrial land surface, including vegetation, rock, soil and landforms, across global to local-district scales. With the exception of hyper-arid regions, mapping rock and soil from space has been problematic because of vegetation that either masks the underlying substrate or confuses the spectral signatures of geological materials (i.e. diagnostic mineral spectral features), making them difficult to resolve. As part of the Exploring for the Future program, a new barest earth Landsat mosaic of the Australian continent using time-series analysis significantly reduces the influence of vegetation and enhances mapping of soil and exposed rock from space. Here, we provide a brief background on geological remote sensing and describe a suite of enhanced images using the barest earth Landsat mosaic for mapping surface mineralogy and geochemistry. These geological enhanced images provide improved inputs for predictive modelling of soil and rock properties over the Australian continent. In one case study, use of these products instead of existing Landsat TM band data to model chromium and sodium distribution using a random forest machine learning algorithm improved model performance by 28–46%.

NTGS Victoria Basin Gravity P201582 Spherical Cap Bouguer Anomaly 267GU 1VD

Gravity data measure small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. 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. 
This NTGS Victoria Basin Gravity P201582 Spherical Cap Bouguer Anomaly 267GU 1VD is the first vertical derivative of the spheical cap Bouguer anomaly grid for the NTGS Victoria Basin Gravity Survey (P201582). This gravity survey was acquired under the project No. 201582 for the geological survey of NT. The grid has a cell size of 0.00735 degrees (approximately 800m). A total of 6172 gravity stations at 4000m spacing were acquired to produce this grid. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

Source and Attenuation Properties of the 2012 Moe Earthquake Sequence, Southeastern Australia

The local magnitude ML 5.4 (MW 5.1) Moe earthquake on 19 June 2012 that occurred within the Australian stable continental region was the largest seismic event for the state of Victoria for more than 30 years. Seismic networks in the southeast Australian region yielded many high-quality recordings of the moderate-magnitude earthquake mainshock and its largest aftershock (ML 4.4; MW 4.3) at a hypocentral range of 10 to 480 km. The source and attenuation characteristics of the earthquake sequence are analyzed. Almost 15,000 felt reports were received following the main shock, which tripped a number of coal-fired power generators in the region, amounting to the loss of approximately 1955 megawatts of generation capacity. The attenuation of macroseismic intensities are shown to mimic the attenuation shape of Eastern North America (ENA) models, but require an inter-event bias to reduce predicted intensities. Further instrumental ground-motion recordings are compared to ground-motion models (GMMs) considered applicable for the southeastern Australian (SEA) region. Some GMMs developed for ENA and for SEA provide reasonable estimates of the recorded ground motions of spectral acceleration within epicentral distances of approximately 100 km. The mean weighted of the Next Generation Attenuation-East GMM suite, recently developed for stable ENA, performs relatively poorly for the 2012 Moe earthquake sequence, particularly for short-period accelerations.

Devonian-Carboniferous stratigraphy of Quail 1, Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia: regional implications for geohistory and hydrocarbon prospectivity

The recovery of conodonts from cores in the onshore Carnarvon Basin petroleum exploration well Quail 1 has lead to a revision of the subsurface Devonian-Carboniferous stratigraphic interpretation in the basin. The Moogooree Limestone is absent in the well; instead, a major unconformity, representing a hiatus of at least 12 million years-the entire Tournaisian Series- separates the Frasnian Gneudna Formation and the Visean Yindagindy Formation.  A significant part of the Late Devonian Famennian Stage may also be missing. This suggests that the Wandagee-Yanrey Ridge may be as old as Late Devonian. The Quail Formation is here recognised as a lateral equivalent of the outcropping Harris Sandstone, as originally defined. The Austin Formation is recognised as the base of the Lyons Group. Evaluation of conodont thermal maturation data indicates a former high heat flow in the southern and central parts of the basin, and suggests that some of the Early to Middle Palaeozoic section is overmature for hydrocarbons. The high heat flow may have been related to Jurassic volcanism, represented by the alkali picrites of the Wandagee Province.

L026 Rockingham/Mundijong seismic survey, WA, 1956

A seismic reflection traverse was surveyed across the Perth Basin, Uestern Australia, between the townships of Rockingham and Mundijong. It was planned in order to give information regarding the depth of the Basin and its structure adjacent to the Darling Scarp. Seismic refraction traverses were surveyed to give the longitudinal velocities in the near surface granitic gneisses on the Precambrian Shield, and in the Cardup Series (Proterozoic) abutting the Darling Scarp. At least 14,000 ft of sediments are indicated in the deepest part of the Basin but there is no clear seismic evidence of what a maximum thickness might be.
Seismic reflection results indicate that the sediments on the west of the Darling Scarp abut the older rocks on a plane that dips at about 60 degrees to the west and that cuts the surface some distance in front of the present position of the scarp. This suggests that the Darling Scarp at Eundijong is the surface expression of a normal fault. However, the presence of reflection alignments east of this postulated fault plane, and thus apparently arising within the granitic gneisses, is contrary to the fault hypothesis. The true nature of the tectonic features is thus unresolved. Seismic results indicate that faulting occurred within the Basin and such faulting may have completed closure of possible oil traps. Further seismic investigation of the faults and associated structures is recommended.
