Cooper Basin region: Cooper Basin groundwater package

Publicly available groundwater data have been compiled to provide a common information base to inform environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the Cooper Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how these data can be used. The data package included with this data guide captures existing knowledge of Cooper Basin aquifers and their properties, including salinity, water levels, resource size, potential aquifer yield and surface water interactions. The methods used to derive these data for the Cooper Basin aquifer are outlined in the associated metadata files. These are described in groundwater conceptualisation models (Gouramanis et al., 2023).
The Cooper Basin includes one broadly defined aquifer named the Nappamerri Group aquifer. Compiled data are assigned to these intervals and used to characterise groundwater systems at the basin scale.
The data are compiled for a point-in-time to inform decisions on potential resource developments in the Basin. The available historical groundwater data can be used to assess the potential effects on groundwater. The data can also be used for other purposes, such as exploring unallocated groundwater resource potential. Data to January 2022 are used for this compilation.

Gravity Survey (P198572), gravity point data

Gravity data measures 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. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Gravity Survey (P198572) contains a total of 143 point data values acquired at a spacing between 250 and 500 metres. The data is located in SA and were acquired in 1985, under project No. 198572 for None.

From Offshore to Onshore Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Assessment with Quantified Uncertainty: Efficient Monte-Carlo Techniques

Offshore probabilistic tsunami hazard assessments (PTHAs) are increasingly available for earthquake generated tsunamis. They provide standardized representations of tsunami scenarios, their uncertain occurrence-rates, and models of the deep ocean waveforms. To quantify onshore hazards it is natural to combine this information with a site-specific inundation model, but this is computationally challenging to do accurately, especially if accounting for uncertainties in the offshore PTHA. This study reviews an efficient Monte Carlo method recently proposed to solve this problem. The efficiency comes from preferential sampling of scenarios that are likely important near the site of interest, using a user-defined importance measure derived from the offshore PTHA. The theory of importance sampling enables this to be done without biasing the final results. Techniques are presented to help design and test Monte Carlo schemes for a site of interest (before inundation modelling) and to quantify errors in the final results (after inundation modelling). The methods are illustrated with examples from studies in Tongatapu and Western Australia.

A new R package for spatial predictive modelling: spm

The accuracy of spatially continuous environmental data, usually generated from point samples using spatial prediction methods, is crucial for evidence-informed environmental management and conservation. Improving the accuracy by identifying the most accurate methods is essential, but also challenging since the accuracy is often data specific and affected by multiple factors. Recently developed hybrid methods of machine learning methods and geostatistics have shown their advantages in spatial predictive modelling in environmental sciences and significantly improved predictive accuracy. An R package, ‘spm: Spatial Predictive Modelling’, has been developed to introduce these methods and has been recently released for R users. It not only introduces the hybrid methods for improving predictive accuracy, but can also be used to improve modelling efficiency. This presentation will briefly introduce the developmental history of novel hybrid geostatistical and machine learning methods in spm. It will introduce spm, by covering: 1) spatial predictive methods, 2) new hybrid methods of geostatistical and machine learning methods, 3) assessment of predictive accuracy, 4) applications of spatial predictive models, and 5) relevant functions in spm. It will then demonstrate how to apply some functions in spm to relevant datasets and to show the resultant improvement in predictive accuracy and modelling efficiency. Although in this presentation, spm is applied to data in environmental sciences, it can be applied to data in other relevant disciplines.

The International Map of the World (IMW) series is no longer maintained, and printed copies of this map are no longer available. The Australian portion of the series consists of 49 maps. They were produced to an international specification using the R502 series at 1:250,000 scale as source material. Production commenced in 1926 and was completed in 1978. The maps were revised from time to time and the last reprint was undertaken in 2003. Each standard map sheet covers 4 degrees of latitude by 6 degrees of longitude and was produced using a Lambert Conformal Conic projection with 2 standard parallels. The series has recently been superseded by the 1:1 000 000 topographic map general reference.
