GSQ Northern Bowen Basin Qld magnetic vd1 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 Northern Bowen Basin Qld magnetic vd1 grid geodetic is a first vertical derivative of the Total Magnetic Intensity grid for the Northern Bowen Basin, Qld, 2002.
This grid has a cell size of 0.00096 degrees (approximately 103m). The grid has units of nanoTesla per km (or nT/km). The data used to produce the TMI grid was acquired in 2002 by the QLD Government, and consisted of 59476 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid.

Glengarry Peak Hill Robinson Range Areas ABCD total count grid geodetic

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 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 terrestrial dose rate grid.
This Glengarry Peak Hill Robinson Range Areas ABCD total count grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the Glengarry, Peak Hill, Robinson River(pt), GSWA,1994. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1994 by the WA Government, and consisted of 118765 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Daly Basin hydrogeological inventory

This Daly Basin dataset contains descriptive attribute information for the areas bounded by the relevant spatial groundwater feature in the associated Hydrogeology Index map. Descriptive topics are grouped into the following themes: Location and administration; Demographics; Physical geography; Surface water; Geology; Hydrogeology; Groundwater; Groundwater management and use; Environment; Land use and industry types; and Scientific stimulus.
The Daly Basin is a geological formation consisting of Cambrian to Ordovician carbonate and siliciclastic rocks, formed approximately 541 million to 470 million years ago. The basin stretches about 170 km in length and 30 km in width, shaped as a northwest elongated synform with gentle dips of less than 1 degree, likely due to prolonged sedimentary deposition in the shallow seas of the Centralian Superbasin, possibly along basin-scale faults.
The primary groundwater reservoir within the Daly Basin is found in the Cambrian Daly River Group. This group comprises three units: the Tindall Limestone, Jinduckin Formation, and Oolloo Dolostone. The Tindall Limestone, which lies at the base, consists of grey, mottled limestone with some maroon-green siltstone or dark grey mudstone. The transition from the Tindall Limestone to the overlying Jinduckin Formation is marked by a shift from limestone to more siliciclastic rocks, indicating a change from open-shelf marine to peri-tidal environments.
The Jinduckin Formation, situated above the Tindall Limestone, is composed of maroon-green dolomitic-siliciclastic siltstone with interbeds of dolomitic sandstone-siltstone, as well as dolostone and dolomitic quartz sandstone lenses. It gradually transitions into the carbonate-rich Oolloo Dolostone, with the highest finely laminated dolomitic sandstone-siltstone interbeds at the top of the Jinduckin Formation.
The Oolloo Dolostone, the uppermost unit of the Daly River Group, comprises two members: the well-bedded lower Briggs Member, consisting of fine- to medium-grained crystalline dolostone and dolomitic quartz sandstone, and the massive upper King Member.
Overlying the Daly River Group is the Ordovician Florina Formation, consisting of three carbonate intervals separated by two fine-grained, glauconite-bearing quartz sandstone units. The Florina Formation and the Daly River Group are covered unconformably by Cretaceous claystone and sandstone of the Carpentaria Basin, which extends over a significant portion of the Daly Basin.

The Oenpelli Dolerite - a Precambrian continental tholeiitic suite from the Northern Territory, Australia

The Oenpelli Dolerite comprises at least four major sheet-like intrusions up to 250 m thick of continental tholeiitic composition, which have a lateral extent of about 20 000 km^2. The intrusions were emplaced at about 1720 m.y. into Lower Proterozoic metasediments of the Pine Creek Geosyncline, and postdate an 1880 m.y. regional metamorphic event. The intrusions consist of symmetrically differentiated layers of olivine dolerite, minor felsic differentiates, and rare crosscutting gabbroic pegmatites. Within the thicker sheets minor rhythmic layering is found in olivine dolerite. The Oenpelli Dolerite contains normative orthopyroxene and the major and trace element chemistry closely parallels the trends of major continental mafic tholeiitic suites. Projection of the chemical data into the anhydrous CMAS system shows that the rocks crystallised in the pressure range 1 atmosphere to 5 kb. The close match between the observed equilibrium and the 1 atmosphere phase diagrams for dry tholeiitic magmas suggests that the last equilibration of these magmas was at very low pressure. It is concluded that the tholeiitic Oenpelli Dolerite rocks have evolved by polybaric olivine fractionation during slow, or intermittent, uprise from higher magnesia magma generated by partial melting within the upper mantle; plagioclase is an additional liquidus phase at shallow-crustal levels.

Standard Multi-Sensor Core Logger Data - Caswell Sub-basin, Browse Basin Marine Survey (GA0345/GA0346/TAN1411)

Geoscience Australia (GA) conducted a marine survey (GA0345/GA0346/TAN1411) of the north-eastern Browse Basin (Caswell Sub-basin) between 9 October and 9 November 2014 to acquire seabed and shallow geological information to support an assessment of the CO2 storage potential of the basin. The survey, undertaken as part of the Department of Industry and Science's National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP), aimed to identify and characterise indicators of natural hydrocarbon or fluid seepage that may indicate compromised seal integrity in the region. 
The survey was conducted in three legs aboard the New Zealand research vessel RV Tangaroa, and included scientists and technical staff from GA, the NZ National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd. (NIWA) and Fugro Survey Pty Ltd. Shipboard data (survey ID GA0345) collected included multibeam sonar bathymetry and backscatter over 12 areas (A1, A2, A3, A4, A6b, A7, A8, B1, C1, C2b, F1, M1) totalling 455 km2 in water depths ranging from 90 - 430 m, and 611 km of sub-bottom profile lines. Seabed samples were collected from 48 stations and included 99 Smith-McIntyre grabs and 41 piston cores. An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) (survey ID GA0346) collected higher-resolution multibeam sonar bathymetry and backscatter data, totalling 7.7 km2, along with 71 line km of side scan sonar, underwater camera and sub-bottom profile data. Twenty two Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) missions collected 31 hours of underwater video, 657 still images, eight grabs and one core.
This catalogue entry refers to standard Geotek multi-sensor core logger data from piston cores collected on the survey. Please follow link to manual for further information.
