AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sj52-16)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

A Multidisciplinary Resource Assessment of the Adavale Basin Part 2. Groundwater Resources

The Australian Government’s Trusted Environmental and Geological Information (TEGI) program is a scientific program led by Geoscience Australia. Geoscience Australia is collaborating with CSIRO to deliver regional geological and environmental assessments underpinned by transparent, trusted baseline geological and environmental data. The program will initially focus on the north Bowen, Galilee, Cooper and Adavale geological basins, where there is significant local, state and national interest exists to expand resource development. 

This paper focuses on the compilation and integration of resource and groundwater/surface water data into an environmental assessment framework within the Adavale Basin extended region. The Adavale Basin extended region is the geographic area corresponding to the subsurface Adavale Basin plus a 50 kilometre buffer beyond the basin province boundary. The extended region also includes parts of the overlying Galilee, Eromanga and Lake Eyre geological basins and surficial sediments to encompass groundwater, surface water and ecological assets.

The environmental assessment includes a groundwater evaluation that places groundwater data (bore screen depth, groundwater level/pressure, hydrogeochemistry and aquifer yield) from bores and petroleum wells into the context of a regional tectono-stratigraphic framework. Guided by the prevailing depositional environment, the groundwater data were modelled to define key groundwater characteristics. These datasets provide the first fully integrated inter-basin groundwater resource assessment for the Adavale Basin extended region.

The Adavale Basin-scale analysis demarcates zones of groundwater recharge and discharge, inter-aquifer connectivity, groundwater salinity, groundwater levels/pressures and aquifer yield to produce a qualitative groundwater conceptual model. The model highlights the groundwater resource potential of the region and will be publicly available in TEGI’s data repository. CSIRO will build a causal network on the basis of this work that assesses potential environmental impacts of resource and associated industrial development.

This analysis has far-reaching consequences in defining groundwater flow paths targeted to potential resource development in the Adavale Basin extended region, allowing appropriate identification and management of risk to groundwater resources and other environmental assets applicable to industry, regulators, and other stakeholders.

This Abstract was submitted/presented to the 2022 Central Australian Basins Symposium IV 29-30 August (https://agentur.eventsair.com/cabsiv/).

Delamerian Margins National Drilling Initiative campaign field data

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program 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.
This package contains data generated in the field as part of stratigraphic drilling operations in the Delamerian region of the western New South Wales during 2023 funded through the Exploring for the Future program. A range of geological, geophysical and geochemical data are included, as well as associated borehole information such as core photographs.
The data can be viewed and downloaded via the Geoscience Australia Portal - https://portal.ga.gov.au/. The data that is available is from several databases which are associated to this record.
These data are published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.

Crustal structure of the Olympic Dam region: Constraints from deep seismic reflection profiles

Two nearly orthogonal deep seismic reflection profiles acquired in the northern Stuart Shelf, and centred on the Olympic Dam Fe oxide Cu-U-Au deposit, clearly image the cover successions and the structure of the cratonic basement around the deposit. Along the line of the profiles, sequences of the Pandurra Formation, Adelaide Rift Complex, and the Stuart Shelf have total thicknesses varying from ~300 m to over 6 km. Known upper crustal units of the basement, e.g., Burgoyne batholith, Gawler Range Volcanics, Wallaroo Group, and Donington Granitoid Suite, were also clearly imaged. The mid-crust is dominated by a sub-horizontal, internally packaged, partly mafic layer up to ~5 km thick. The lower crust contains a north-dipping transcrustal shear zone, which does not appear to separate crust identifiable as discrete terranes. However, the lower crust farther to the northeast may be a distinct terrane, as it is relatively homogenous and characterised by sub-horizontal, rather than dipping, reflectivity. The seismic Moho occurs at about 40-42 km depth. The upper crust contains dipping seismic events interpreted as thrust complexes, which may have provided first-order fluid pathways for the minerals system. Excepting orthogneisses of the older Donington Granitoid Suite, the only plutonic body imaged is the Burgoyne batholith of the Hiltaba Suite.

GSWA Boorabbin Lake Johnston Magnetic 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 GSWA Boorabbin Lake Johnston Magnetic Grid Geodetic has a cell size of 0.0005 degrees (approximately 51m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1987 by the WA Government, and consisted of 121097 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 200m and 400m, and 60m terrain clearance.

Southeastern Australian lithosphere imaged by magnetotelluric data: AusLAMP New South Wales

The Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP) aims to collect long period magnetotelluric (MT) sites on a 0.5 degree (~55 km) grid across the Australian continent. Data and models produced from this program will help to inform our understanding of Australia’s lithospheric architecture and tectonic processes.
Geoscience Australia is leading AusLAMP data collection in New South Wales, southeastern Australia. This new dataset extends the coverage of the AusLAMP Victoria, collected in 2014. In New South Wales, data collection is ongoing with a total of 103 deployments completed so far. The combined dataset provides coverage across an ~1100 x 700 km area over southeastern Australia.
Victoria and southern New South Wales is made up of several Proterozoic to Paleozoic orogenic and cratonic belts, covered in part by Mesozoic to Cenozoic sedimentary basins. The Proterozoic Curnamona Craton extends westward from New South Wales and Victoria into South Australia and hosts the Broken Hill silver-lead-zinc deposit. Adjacent to the Curnamona craton is the Precambrian to Cambrian Delamerian Orogen, which separates the Precambrian cratons of Central Australia from the younger orogenic belts in eastern Australia. These include the Lachlan Orogen, located immediately east of the Delamerian Orogen, which hosts a number of copper gold and base metal deposits.
We will present data and resistivity models from this area, providing new insights into the lithospheric architecture and composition of the crust across this region. We will discuss implications of the new data and models for the tectonic development and mineralization in this region.
