Exploring for the Future: advancing the search for groundwater, energy and mineral resources

Water, energy and mineral resources are vital for Australia’s economic prosperity and sustainable development. However, continued supply of these resources cannot be taken for granted. It is widely accepted that the frontier of exploration now lies beneath the Earth’s surface, making characterisation of the subsurface a unifying challenge. Between 2016 and 2020, the $100.5 million Exploring for the Future program focused on addressing this challenge across northern Australia in order to better define resource potential and boost investment. The program applied a multiscale systems approach to resource assessment based on characterisation of the Australian plate from the surface down to its base, underpinned by methodological advances. The unprecedented scale and diversity of new data collected have resulted in many world-first achievements and breakthrough insights through integrated systems science. Through this multi-agency effort, new continental-scale datasets are emerging to further enhance Australia’s world-leading coverage. The program has identified prospective regions for a wide range of resources and pioneered approaches to exploration undercover that can be applied elsewhere. The outcomes so far include extensive tenement uptake for minerals and energy exploration in covered terranes, and development of informed land-management policy. Here, we summarise the key scientific achievements of the program by reviewing the main themes and interrelationships of 62 contributions, which together constitute the Exploring for the Future: extended abstracts volume.

Green Swamp Well, Lander River, NT, 1987 (P531), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

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 Green Swamp Well, Lander River, NT, 1987 (P531), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1987 by the NT Government, and consisted of 26370 line-kilometres of data at 1500m line spacing and 150m 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.

The Australian Geoscience Information Network (AusGIN) – Data delivery and analysis using international data standards and web services

The Australian Geoscience Information Network (AusGIN, www.geoscience.gov.au) provides geoscience data and information from all Australian state, territory and federal Geological Survey organisations, under the governance of the Australia/NZ Government Geoscience Information Committee (GGIC).  The information includes geological and geophysical maps, data, and publications; minerals and energy legislative and regulatory guidelines in all Australian jurisdictions; and links to the standards used in Australian resources data and resource exploration reporting.

The flagship of AusGIN is the AusGIN Geoscience Portal - an online mapping portal built on open source standards and applications.  The Portal provides access to geoscience data through web services which use agreed international and national standards.  These include the IUGS CGI and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geoscience data standards GeoSciML and EarthResourceML, the ISO19115 metadata standard, GGIC's MineralTenementML, and OGC web service standards (Web Map Service - WMS, Web Feature Service - WFS, Catalog Service for the Web - CSW).

Among the many datasets featured in the Geoscience Portal, each of the Geological Surveys deliver featured datasets from their own data holdings using GeoSciML (boreholes), EarthResourceML (mineral occurrences, mines), and MineralTenementML (mineral exploration and mining tenements).  Because all these services comply to shared data structures, the Portal is able to apply common filter queries and symbolisation to all the services using standard protocols.  The Portal also makes use of CGI and GGIC vocabulary services to construct common filter queries on the data services.

The Geoscience Portal also enables users to search ISO19115 metadata services to find more datasets and publications from the Geological Surveys.  The Portal can query live CSW services (such as from Geoscience Australia), as well as using its own GeoNetwork catalog to periodically harvest metadata from those Surveys where live CSW services are not available.

RETIRED Water Observations from Space Filtered Statistics 25m 2.1.5

This record was retired 15/09/2022 with approval from S.Oliver as it has been superseded by eCat 146091 DEA Water Observations Statistics (Landsat)
In previous versions of WOfS, the basic water classifications, statistical summaries and confidence products were contained within one product with several datasets. As of version 2.1.5, WOfS is split into three products: Water Observation Feature Layers (WO_25_2.1.5), Summary Statistics (WO-STATS_25_2.1.5), and Filtered Summary Statistics (WO-FILT-STATS_25_2.1.5).
This product is Water Observations from Space - Filtered Statistics (WO-FILT-STATS), consisting of a Confidence layer that compares the WO-STATS water summary to other national water datasets, and the Filtered Water Summary which uses the Confidence to mask areas of the WO-STATS water summary where Confidence is low. The Filtered Water Summary provides the long term understanding of the recurrence of water in the landscape, with much of the noise due to misclassification filtered out. 
WO-FILT-STATS consists of the following datasets:
Confidence: the degree of agreement between water shown in the Water Summary and other national datasets. The Confidence layer provides understanding of whether the water shown in the Water Summary agrees with where water should exist in the landscape, such as due to sloping land or whether water has been detected in a location by other means.
Filtered Water Summary: A simplified version of the Water Summary, showing the frequency of water observations where the Confidence is above a cutoff level. This layer gives a noise-reduced view of surface water across Australia.
Even though confidence filtering is applied to the Filtered Water Summary, some cloud and shadow, and sensor noise does persist.

Eyre Peninsula (Streaky Bay Yardea Elliston Kimba) magnetics (non-AWAGS)

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 Eyre Peninsula (Streaky Bay, Yardea, Elliston, Kimba), SA, 1988 survey were acquired in 1988 by the SA Government, and consisted of 28747 line-kilometres of data at 1000m line spacing and 105m terrain clearance.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Edel (sg49-12)

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.
