The Cooper Basin Region 3D Map Version 1: A Search for Hot Buried Granites

A 3D map of the Cooper Basin region has been produced over an area of 300 x 450 km to a depth of 20 km (Figure 1).  The 3D map was constructed from 3D inversions of gravity data using geological data to constrain the inversions.  It delineates regions of low density within the basement of the Cooper/Eromanga Basins that are inferred to be granitic bodies.  This interpretation is supported by a spatial correlation between the modelled bodies and known granite occurrences.  The 3D map, which also delineates the 3D geometries of the Cooper and Eromanga Basins, therefore incorporates both potential heat sources and thermally insulating cover, key elements in locating a geothermal play. This study was conducted as part of Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program, Geothermal Energy Project.
This 3D data release constitutes the first version of the Cooper Basin region 3D map.  A future data release (version 2 of the 3D map) will extend the area to the north and east to encompass the entire Queensland extension of the Cooper Basin.  The version 2 3D map will incorporate more detailed 3D models of the Cooper and Eromanga Basins by delineating the major internal sedimentary sequences within the basins.  Thermal properties will then be incorporated into the 3D map to produce a 3D thermal model.  The goal is to produce a 3D thermal model of the Cooper Basin region that not only matches existing temperature and heat flow data in the region, but also predicts regions of high heat flow and elevated temperatures in regions where no heat flow or temperature data exists.

Merlinleigh, WA, 1995 (P727), 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 Merlinleigh, WA, 1995 survey were acquired in 1995 by the WA Government, and consisted of 45278 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 80m 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.

Macquarie Ridge bathymetry survey (RS9401/GA0124)

The RS9401 bathymetry survey, GA0124 was acquired by Geoscience Australia onboard the Australian vessel Rig Seismic from the 12th of January to the 16th of February 1994 using an MR1 (12 kHz) towed sidescan sonar system.
The objectives of the RS9401 bathymetry survey was to collect new data in order to update our understanding of the Macquarie Ridge Complex (MRC), located at the boundary between the Pacific and Australian plates.
The survey acquired Sidescan/ bathymetry, gravity and 96- channel seismic reflection imaging across the morphologic ridge and trench system. Gravity and magnetic data were collected during the entire survey.
This V0 dataset contains three, 128 m resolution 32-bit geotiff of the Macquarie Ridge survey area produced from the processed MR1  bathymetry data. 
This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.

Petrel Sub-basin Marine Survey (GA-0335 / SOL5463) (NLECI Program) - Seabed Geochemistry / Chlorins

The Petrel Sub-basin Marine Environmental Survey GA-0335, (SOL5463) was undertaken by the RV Solander during May 2012 as part of the Commonwealth Government's National Low Emission Coal Initiative (NLECI).  The survey was undertaken as a collaboration between the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and GA. The purpose was to acquire geophysical and biophysical data on shallow (less then 100m water depth) seabed environments within two targeted areas in the Petrel Sub-basin to support investigation for CO2 storage potential in these areas. This dataset has analysis of Chlorin and geochemmistry for samples taken on survey.

GSWA Ashburton ppm 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 0.00083 degrees (approximately 89m) and shows uranium element concentration of the Ashburton, WA, 2006 in units of parts per million (or ppm). The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 2006 by the WA Government, and consisted of 106235 line-kilometres of data at 400m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

Soil Classification dataset for Recharge Discharge Project

The soil landscapes map is a vector data set showing the soil landscape polygons from the ten sheets of the Atlas of Australian Soils. Attributes include the Atlas of Australian Soils map unit (soil landscape) and dominant soil type attributes. 
The digital version of the Atlas of Australian Soils was created by NRIC (National Resource Information Centre) in 1991 from scanned tracings of the published hardcopy maps (1 - 10), Northcote et al. (1960 - 1968). The Atlas of Australian Soils (Northcote et al, 1960-68) was compiled by CSIRO in the 1960's to provide a consistent national description of Australia's soils. It comprises a series of ten maps and associated explanatory notes, compiled by K.H. Northcote and others. The maps were published at a scale of 1:2,000,000, but the original compilation was at scales from 1:250,000 to 1:500,000.

Oldest known biomarkers provide evidence for phototrophic green and purple sulfur bacteria in the 1.73 Ga Wollogorang Formation, northern Australia

Discovery of mid-Proterozoic (1.8 – 0.8 billion years ago, Ga) indigenous biomarkers is a challenge, since biologically informative molecules of such antiquity are commonly destroyed by metamorphism or overprinted by drilling fluids and other anthropogenic petroleum products. The previously oldest biomarkers were reported from the 1.64 Ga Barney Creek Formation in the McArthur Basin, northern Australian. In this study, we present the discovery of clearly indigenous biomarker molecules from carbonaceous shales of the 1.73 Ga Wollogorang Formation in the southern McArthur Basin, extending the biomarker record back in time by ~90 million years. The extracted hydrocarbons illustrate typical mid-Proterozoic signatures with a large unresolved complex mixture, high methyl-alkane/n-alkane ratios and absence of eukaryotic steranes. Also below detection limits were acyclic isoprenoids, saturated carotenoid derivatives, bacterial hopanes and aromatic hopanoids and steroids. Detected, however, were continuous homologous series (C13-C22) of 2,3,4- and 2,3,6-trimethyl aryl isoprenoids (AI). These breakdown products of aromatic carotenoids are the oldest known biogenic molecules, revealing the activity of phototrophic green (Chlorobiaceae) and purple sulphur bacteria (Chromatiaceae). The compounds provide evidence for at least temporary, very shallow (less than ~20 m) stratification of the McArthur Basin 1.73 Ga ago, supporting models of pervasive anoxic conditions in mid-Proterozoic basins.

Seabed Mapping Webinar (Upper Primary), Australia’s Seafloor: What’s on it, why do we care, and how do we map it?

Geoscience Australia produces a range of educational resources (ga.gov.au/education), including webinars on various geoscientific topics for school children. These webinars are designed to be used for classroom or home learning. They are standalone products that do not require preparation or follow-up by teachers, although this is encouraged.
The webinar 'Australia's Seafloor: What's on it, who cares and how do we map it' is designed for upper primary students (Years 4-6). It is delivered by marine scientist Rachel Przeslawski and introduces the techniques and uses of  seabed mapping, with a focus on Australia, as well as some of the fascinating marine animals found on the seafloor. 
Length: 23 minutes.
