Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography Database Table

The pyrolysis-gas chromatography database table contains publicly available results from Geoscience Australia's organic geochemistry (ORGCHEM) database and supporting oracle databases for open system pyrolysis-gas chromatography (pyrolysis-GC) analyses performed on either source rocks or kerogen samples taken from boreholes and field sites. Sedimentary rocks that contain organic matter are referred to as source rocks (e.g., organic-rich shale, oil shale and coal) and the organic matter within the rock matrix that is insoluble in organic solvents is named kerogen. The analyses are undertaken by various laboratories in service and exploration companies using a range of instruments. Data includes the borehole or field site location, sample depth, stratigraphy, analytical methods, other relevant metadata, and the molecular composition of the pyrolysates. The concentrations of the aliphatic hydrocarbon, aromatic hydrocarbon and organic sulfur compounds are given in several units of measure [e.g., percent (resolved compounds) in the S2 peak (wt% S2), milligrams per gram of rock (mg/g rock), micrograms per gram of kerogen (mg/g kerogen) etc.].

These data are used to determine the organic richness, kerogen type and thermal maturity of source rocks in sedimentary basins. The results are used as input parameters in basin analysis and petroleum systems modelling to evaluate the potential for hydrocarbon generation in a sedimentary basin. These data are collated from destructive analysis reports (DARs), well completion reports (WCRs) and literature. The data are delivered in the Source Rock Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography web services on the Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal at https://portal.ga.gov.au which will be periodically updated.

High resolution conductivity mapping using regional AEM survey and machine learning

Improvements in discovery and management of minerals, energy and groundwater resources are spurred along by advancements in surface and subsurface imaging of the Earth. Over the last half decade Australia has led the world in the collection of regionally extensive airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data coverage, which provides new constraints on subsurface conductivity structure. Inferring geology and hydrology from conductivity is non-trivial as the conductivity response of earth materials is non-unique, but careful calibration and interpretation does provide significant insights into the subsurface. To date utility of this new data is limited by its spatial extent. The AusAEM survey provides conductivity constraints every 12.5 m along flight lines with no constraints across vast areas between flight lines spaced 20 km apart. Here we provide a means to infer the conductivity between flight lines as an interim measure before infill surveys can be undertaken. We use a gradient boosted tree machine learning algorithm to discover relationships between AEM conductivity models across northern Australia and other national data coverages for three depth ranges: 0–0.5 m, 9–11 m and 22–27 m. The predictive power of our models decreases with depth but they are nevertheless consistent with our knowledge of geological, landscape evolution and climatic processes and an improvement on standard interpolation methods such as kriging. Our models provide a novel complementary methodology to gridding/interpolating from AEM conductivity alone for use by the mining, energy and natural resource management sectors.

Pine Creek airborne electromagnetic survey results

In 2008-2009 Geoscience Australia, contracted Fugro Airborne Surveys and Geotech Airborne, to respectively acquire TEMPEST and VTEM airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data with broad line spacings covering more than 71 000 kmÂ²  in the Pine Creek region, Northern Territory.  
The Pine Creek survey (Figure 1) is the second regional AEM survey funded by the Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) at Geoscience Australia. 
Geoscience Australia funded the flying of 19 500 line km, subscriber companies funded 10 400 line km. The 5 000 m line spacing provide regional information with 1 666 m, 555 m and closer line spacing providing detail for mineral systems analysis and deposit scale mapping.
One of the main survey objectives was to reduce exploration risk and encourage exploration in the region by mapping, under cover, in areas where gravity and magnetics are quiet. Geological targets included detecting: conductive unites within the Pine Creek Orogen (PCO) sequence; Kombolgie Sandstone / PCO unconformity; Tolmer Group/ Finniss River Group unconformity.
Geoscience Australia undertook conductivity logging (Figure 2) in the Pine Creek region. Conductivity logs were processed and as input into forward models, ground truth AEM results and for geological interpretations.
To facilitate interpretation, subsurface electrical conductivity predictions using a layered earth inversion (sample by sample) algorithm developed by Geoscience Australia (GA-LEI) were derived from the AEM survey data.
Conductivity characterisation of large regional units using the AEM data show: the Rum Jungle Complex is a consistently resistive area with an average conductivity value of less than 2 m/S; the Mt Partridge Group has a conductivity value up to 100 m/S; the Kombolgie Sandstone has a conductivity range of less than 2 m/S in more areas.  Detecting conductivity contrasts in areas with known uranium prospectivity aids in a mineral systems analysis and geological interpretation of uranium deposits.

GSWA P1177 Kojonup TMI 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 P1177 Kojonup TMI grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 85m). The units are in nanoTesla (or nT). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2008 by the WA Government, and consisted of 75805 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 100m and 400m, and 60m terrain clearance.

Deniliquin NSW Hydrogeological map of the Murray Basin series 1:250 000

The objectives of hydrogeologically mapping the Murray basin were to generate a set of maps at 1:250 000 scale to: 

show the influence of groundwater on land salinisation and surface water salinity 
delineate useable groundwater resources 
highlight present and potential salinity hazard and 
enhance community awareness and understanding of groundwater systems and processes 

and provide a groundwater data-base for the Murray Basin to facilitate land and water resource management decisions. 
The production of the Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series was a major coordinated Government action in the management of groundwater to combat degradation through salinisation and enable sustainable land and water use in the Murray Basin.  The Hydrogeological Map Series was a collaborative effort between the various water authorities of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. 
Explaining this product in detail is an article by Evans, W.R. 1992, "The Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series", Water pp. 20-23.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sh56-08)

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.

Magnetic Anomaly Map of Australia, Seventh Edition, 2020 - Enhanced Products Package - upward continued grid UC8km12kmRes (UC8km12kmRes)

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 magnetic grid has a cell size of 0.00083 degrees (approximately 88m).The data are in nanoTesla (or nT). It is estimated that 33 500 000 line-kilometres of survey data collected by State and Territory geological surveys and Geoscience Australia were acquired to produce the 2019 national magnetic grid. 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-15 geomagnetic reference model using a data representative date and elevation representative of the survey. The upward continuation manipulates the magnetic data to enhance the large deep source anomalies and minimises shallow anomalies. To constrain long wavelengths in the grid, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey grid. This survey grid is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Isotopic Atlas of Australia - An Update (Poster for SGGMP conference 2022)

Historically, isotopic data are collected at the individual sample level on local- to regional-scale features and are dispersed among decades of both published and unpublished individual academic literature, university theses and geological survey reports, in disparate formats and with widely varying levels of detail. Consequently, it has been difficult to visualise or interrogate the collective value of age and isotopic data at continental-scale. Geoscience Australia’s (GA) continental-scale Isotopic Atlas of Australia (Fraser et al., 2020), breaks this cycle of single-use science by compiling and integrating multiple radiometric age and isotopic tracer datasets and making them publicly accessible and useable through GA’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) Portal.

The first iteration of a continental-scale Isotopic Atlas of Australia was introduced by Geoscience Australia at the 2019 SGGMP conference in Devonport, Tasmania, through a talk and poster display. In the three years since, progress on this Isotopic Atlas has continued and expanded datasets are now publicly available and downloadable via Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future (EFTF) Geochronology and Isotopes Data Portal.&nbsp;
