AusLAMP mapping lithospheric architecture and mineral potential in central and eastern Australia

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program (EFTF) provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to net zero emissions, strong, sustainable resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.

One main component of the EFTF program is the Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP), which is a collaborative national survey by federal government, state and territory governments, and research organizations since late 2013. The project acquires long-period magnetotelluric data on a half-degree grid spacing across Australia and provides first order electrical conductivity/resistivity structure of the Australian continental lithosphere. This reconnaissance dataset improves the understanding of lithospheric structures and tectonic evolution of Australian plate. It provides a framework and a bottom-up approach to identify newly resource potential regions for infill surveys and further study. The dataset also uses for assessment and prediction of geomagnetic storm’s nature hazards. 

This data release contains a 3D resistivity model and site locations. The 3D model was derived from publicly available AusLAMP data in Australia (excluding western Australia). The model was projected to GDA94 MGA Zone 54 and was converted into SGrid/ASCII format and geo-referenced TIFF format.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the country where the data were collected. We also acknowledge the support provided by individuals and communities for land access and data acquisition, without whose cooperation these data could not have been collected. The 3D model was produced on the National Computational Infrastructure, which is supported by the Australian government.

Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program: Wave derived orbital velocity magnitude at seabed (0°, 90°, 140°, 270° and 315°)

This resource contains wave derived orbital velocity magnitude at seabed grids (0°, 90°, 140°, 270° and 315°) for the greater Darwin Harbour region as part of a baseline seabed mapping program of Darwin Harbour and Bynoe Harbour. This project was funded through offset funds provided by an INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project to the Northern Territory Government’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NTG-DENR) with co-investment from Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The intent of this program is to improve knowledge of the marine environments in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions by collating and collecting baseline data that enable the creation of thematic habitat maps and information to underpin marine resource management decisions. The wave derived orbital velocity magnitude at seabed grids (0°, 90°, 140°, 270° and 315°) were derived from a compilation of multiple surveys undertaken by GA, AIMS and NTG-DENR between 2011 and 2017, including GA0333 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0341 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0351/SOL6187 (Siwabessy et al., 2016), GA4452/SOL6432 (Siwabessy et al., 2017), GA0356 (Radke et al., 2017), and GA0358 and GA0359 (Radke et al., 2018), adding to those from previous surveys GA4425 and GA0333 collected by GA, AIMS, NTG-DENR and Darwin Port Authority.

A Probabilistic Assessment of Tsunami Hazard in the Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26, 2004 made starkly evident the need for better information on tsunami hazard in the Indian Ocean. The tsunami threat faced by Indian Ocean countries consists of a complex mix of tsunami from local, regional and distant sources, whose effects at any particular location in the Indian Ocean are highly dependent on variations in sea floor shape between the source and affected coastlines, complicating tsunami disaster management and the design of tsunami warning systems for the Indian Ocean. In order to provide national governments in the Indian Ocean with the information they need to make informed decisions about tsunami mitigation measures, including development of a warning system,  a comprehensive hazard and risk ass
In this presentation we discuss the results of this assessment. The study focused on tsunami caused by subduction zone earthquakes, because they are the most frequent source of large tsunami, and tsunami hazard is expressed as annual probability of a tsunami exceeding a given amplitude at a given offshore depth. Because so little is known about the recurrence rates of large megathrust earthquakes in the subduction zones bordering the Indian Ocean, it was decided to develop two hazard maps: a 'low-hazard' end member, based on only those earthquake sources of tsunami for which there is definite evidence, and a 'high-hazard' end member, based on all potential megathrust earthquake sources, including hypothetical ones for which there is no historical or geological evidence, that may affect Indian Ocean coastlines. The actual hazard lies somewhere between these two end members, and the difference between the low hazard and high hazard maps is a simple and effective way to express the uncertainty in the hazard assessment. This uncertainty reflects the lack of knowledge of tsunamigenic earthquake occurrence, and can only be reduced through a better understanding of earthquake and tsunami occurrence in the Indian Ocean.

GSQ Mary Kathleen ReducedToPole 1stVerticalDerivative grid geodetic

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 GSQ Mary Kathleen ReducedToPole 1stVerticalDerivative grid geodetic is the first vertical derivative of the TMI RTP grid of the Isa Region Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, QLD, 2017 survey.
This grid has a cell size of 9e-05 degrees (approximately 10m) , and given in units of nT per metre (nT/m).  The data used to produce the TMI grid was acquired in 2017 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 113387 line-kilometres of data at 50m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance. The data has had a variable reduction to the pole applied to centre the magnetic anomaly over the magnetised body. The VRTP processing followed a differential reduction to pole calculation up to 5th order polynomial. Magnetic inclination and declination were derived from the IGRF-11 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey. A first vertical derivative was calculated by applying a fast Fourier transform (FFT) process to the TMI RTP grid of the Isa Region Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and DEM Survey, QLD, 2017 survey to produce this grid. This grid was calculated using an algorithm from the INTREPID Geophysics software package. This grid shows the magnetic response of subsurface features with contrasting magnetic susceptibilities. The grid can also be used to locate structural features such as dykes.
