Cunnamulla 1:250 000, R502 historical topographic map

The R502 series of maps has been replaced by the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS). The R502 series consists of 542 map sheets and covers Australia at a scale of 1:250,000. It was compiled from aerial photography, but only about one quarter of the series was contoured. The standard sheet size is 1 degree of latitude by 1.5 degrees of longitude. Transverse Mercator map projection and Clark 1858 datum were used. Coverage of the country was completed in 1968.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sk51-05)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

Drivers of wind risk in South East Queensland

South East Queensland (SEQ) is exposed to a range of severe storms that generate damaging winds, including east coast lows, thunderstorms and tropical cyclones. The risk posed by these storms is not well understood and, in a region that hosts a large proportion of Queensland’s population and economic activity, it is important to understand these risks and the potential benefits of mitigation actions, particularly in the context of climate change, urban planning and the socio-economic status of the population.
&nbsp;
The primary objectives of the Severe Wind Hazard Assessment for South East Queensland (SWHA-SEQ) project (October 2020 – December 2022) were to improve the understanding of current wind risk in SEQ and to develop actionable information to inform future strategies to reduce this risk. Collaboration across fifteen partners in local government, insurance, emergency management, State government and academia has delivered valuable and actionable insights into the risk and resilience of SEQ at a local scale. 

We discuss the relative contributions of different wind storms to the hazard profile, local influences on hazard and risk, and the intersection with community resilience indicators that assist in formulating targeted mitigation strategies. SEQ has a range of landscapes that influence the local hazard, including heavily urbanized lands, semi-rural communities in complex terrain and beachfront or canal estates. These landscapes, and the attributes of the buildings in them, contribute to the risk profile in varied and complex ways. We also explore the intersection of high-risk areas with socio-economic status to identify priority areas for potential retrofit programs.

MRTAS Arthur Pieman uranium 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.
This radiometric uranium grid has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 41m) and shows uranium element concentration of the Arthur-Pieman Area, NW Tasmania, TAS, 1996 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1996 by the TAS Government, and consisted of 17093 line-kilometres of data at a line spacing between 100m and 200m, and 90m terrain clearance.

Perth Basin North, WA, 2011 (P1242), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

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.
 These line dataset from the Perth Basin North, WA, 2011 survey were acquired in 2011 by the WA Government, and consisted of 93199 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.

Isotopic ages of acid igneous rocks in the Cairns hinterland, north Queensland

This study arose out of the regional geological mapping of the Cairns Hinterland which was begun in 1956 as a joint undertaking by the Bureau of Mineral Resources and the Geological Survey of Queensland. It is another unit in the series of dating surveys stemming from the co-operation between the Australian National University and the Bureau of Mineral Resources. One of us (D.A.W.), assisted by F. de Keyser, was responsible for the supervision of the field operations connected with this study; another (C.D.B.) was concerned with the general investigation of these acid igneous rocks; the others (J.R.R. and A.W.W.) were assisted by J. A. Cooper in the production of the K-Ar results. We are indebted to W. Compston and M. J. Vernon for permission to publish the Rb-Sr results on the Palaeozoic rocks, and for assistance with measurements on the Croydon Volcanics. Samples were chosen with the aim of defining more closely the time limits of the two periods of activity that were thought to have produced the granites and acid volcanic rocks now covering about half the area. Regional mapping evidence had already suggested that a Precambrian age for the older granites was a reasonable possibility, and that the second event took place in the late Palaeozoic. Fossils collected by the mapping parties suggested that these periods were pre-Upper Ordovician and late Devonian/Carboniferous to Permian/Triassic (White, 1961). The present set of age data offers a most gratifying confirmation of some of these conclusions and provides a basis for the selection of samples for further study.

Preliminary report on the Frazer Prospect Brodribb area, Northern Territory

The Frazer Uranium Prospect was located by the Bureau of Mineral Resources airborne scintillometer survey in 1952. Subsequent geological and geophysical investigation has shown that radioactivity is apparently confined to the ferruginous zone of the laterite profile. The maximum activity recorded on the surface was equivalent to 7.5 times background. A costean was bulldozed and a supplementary hole in the deepest part of the costean showed that activity dropped appreciably with depth, at one point it dropped to 2 x background in ten feet.
