Tennant Creek Gravity (P197204), 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 Tennant Creek Gravity (P197204) contains a total of 863 point data values acquired at a spacing of 200 metres. The data is located in NT and were acquired in 1972, under project No. 197204 for Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR).

Strathblane and Catamaran, Tas, 1982 (P835), 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 Strathblane and Catamaran, Tas, 1982 survey were acquired in 1982 by the TAS Government, and consisted of 1511 line-kilometres of data at 500m line spacing and 135m 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.

Systematic effects in the radio source proper motion

Some models of the expanding Universe predict that the astrometric proper motion of distant radio sources embedded in space-time are non-zero as radial distance from observer to the source grows. Systematic effects due to this proper motion can even increase with distance making possible to measure them with high precision astrometric techniques like VLBI. We analyzed a large set of geodetic VLBI data spanning from 1979 till 2008 to estimate the dipole and the quadrupole harmonics in the expansion of the vector field of the proper motions of quasars in the sky. We estimated the vector spherical harmonics (three parameters for the dipole and ten - for the quadrupole systematic) directly from the VLBI group delays without intermediate calculation of the individual proper motion. The estimates have been obtained separately for different red shift zones. It was shown that the dipole harmonic does not vary significantly, whereas the amplitude of the quadrupole gradually increases with the red shift. This quadrupole pattern can be interpreted either as an anisotropic Hubble expansion, or as an indication of the primordial gravitational waves in the early Universe. However, more prosaic explanations may also be possible.
Prepared for the 19th European VLBI for Geodesy and Astrometry Working Meeting.

Tobermorey 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.

Newcastle Earthquake

One of Australia's most serious natural disasters occurred when an earthquake shook Newcastle in New South Wales, leaving 13 people dead and injuring more than 160. 
The damage bill has been estimated at around A$4 billion dollars, including an insured loss of over A$1 billion. All the result of just a few seconds of earthquake ground shaking at 10:27am on 28 December 1989 (McCue and others, 1990).
The consequences of this moderate earthquake to Newcastle (Pop. 300 000), an industrial city on Australia's east coast, could so easily have been avoided with the hindsight of history and the application of relatively inexpensive earthquake engineering principles.

Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and 110 kilometres from north to south. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. Product Specifications Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps.

Structural Evolution and Potential Petroleum Plays in the Darling Basin (Pondie Range Trough - Mount Jack area)

The Darling Basin is a Late Silurian to Early Carboniferous feature occupying approximately 100 000 km2 of western New South Wales. In the area of the Pondie Range Trough, near the town of Wilcannia, it comprises up to 12 000 m of sediments, interpreted to have been deposited as syn-rift, thermal sag, and foreland basin phases of basin development, overlain by a veneer of Murray Basin and underlying infrabasin sediments.

The early geological history of the Proterozoic Mount Isa Inlier, northwestern Queensland: an alternative interpretation

Correlations within the Proterozoic succession are complicated by repetitions of similar rock types at different stratigraphic levels, especially acid and basic volcanics, quartz sandstones, and calcareous rocks, and also by disconformities, igneous intrusions of various ages, tight to isoclinal folding, intense faulting, regional metamorphic effects, and scarcity of reliable isotopic age data. Consequently, there is plenty of scope for alternative interpretations. The interpretation proposed is that instead of equivalent sequences of cover rocks, known as the western and eastern successions, being separated by a narrow basement belt, as suggested previously for the Proterozoic Mount Isa Inlier, the oldest cover rocks in the west, those of the Haslingden Group, pre-date the eastern succession, and basic lavas (Eastern Creek Volcanics) within this group have no correlatives to the east. It is also suggested that volcanics previously regarded as part of the basement (Magna Lynn Metabasalt and Argylla Formation) are younger than most of the Haslingden Group, and that the extensive calcareous Corella Formation represents at least two quite separate units, one being younger than the Haslingden Group, and one being part of the underlying basement. These suggestions are consistent with U-Pb zircon dating carried out to date, as well as with the field evidence.
