A preliminary 3D model of the Boree Salt in the Adavale Basin, Queensland

All commercially produced hydrogen worldwide is presently stored in salt caverns. In eastern Australia, the only known thick salt accumulations are found in the Boree Salt of the Adavale Basin in central Queensland. Although the number of wells penetrating the basin is limited, salt intervals up to 555 m thick have been encountered. The Boree Salt consists predominantly of halite and is considered to be suitable for hydrogen storage. Using well data and historical 2D seismic interpretations, we have developed a 3D model of the Adavale Basin, particularly focussing on the thicker sections of the Boree Salt. Most of the salt appears to be present at depths greater than 2000 m, but shallower sections are found in the main salt body adjacent to the Warrego Fault and to the south at the Dartmouth Dome. The preliminary 3D model developed for this study has identified three main salt bodies that may be suitable for salt cavern construction and hydrogen storage. These are the only known large salt bodies in eastern Australia and therefore represent potentially strategic assets for underground hydrogen storage. There are still many unknowns, with further work and data acquisition required to fully assess the suitability of these salt bodies for hydrogen storage. Recommendations for future work are provided.

Cruise Preview Report Prydz Bay and Mac.Robertson Shelf, Antarctica January-March 1993

The Natural Variability and Past Environmental change Sub-program of the Co-operative Research Centre for Antarctic and Southern Ocean Environments aims to use the records contained in ice and sediments to understand past environmental change to calibrate climatic models. The marine geoscience program for Voyage 7 consists of a sea bed sampling program designed to
. Elucidate sedimentation processes on the Antarctic shelf and slope.
. Provide sediment cores from the Antarctic shelf and slope for the study ofQuaternary environmental change.
Sampling is proposed for Prydz Bay and the adjoining Mac. Robertson Shelf. Prydz Bay is an important site for studying the past behaviour of the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf system which is the largest ice stream draining the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The adjacent but contrasting Mac. Robertson Shelf may not have experienced the same style of glaciation during the Quatemary and has accumulated biogenic sediments in places. Bathymetry and 3.5kHz echo sounder data from Prydz Bay reveal features formed by erosion and deposition beneath the Amery Ice Shelf. The extent of post-glaciation iceberg gouging can also be inferred. On the Mac. Robertson Shelf, sediment accumulations suitable for coring can also be interpreted from the 3.5 kHz records. Fifteen gravity cores at sites selected to help interpret the Late Quaternary history of Prydz Bay and the Mac. Robertson Shelf will be collected on Voyage 7 of the 1992/93 Antarctic Division shipping season, on the R.V. Aurora Australis. An additional core from BANZARE Bank, the southern-most extension of the Kerguelen Plateau will be collected for palaeotemperature studies at the Co-operative Research Centre for Antarctic and Southern Ocean Environments. Grab samples will also be collected to elucidate modem sediment types in Prydz Bay and the Mac. Robertson Shelf.

Devil's Creek, WA, 1999 (P1081), 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 Devil's Creek, WA, 1999 (P1081), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 1999 by the WA Government, and consisted of 3935 line-kilometres of data at 300m line spacing and 70m 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.

Hematite-group IOCGÂ±U ore systems: tectonic settings, hydrothermal characteristics, and Cu-Au and U mineralizing processes

This short course volume is a synergistic product of the Geological Survey of Canada Deep Search (Targeted Geoscience Initiative 3 program), Uranium Resources of Canada (Secure Canadian Energy Supply program) and IOCG/Multiple Metals Great Bear Region (Geomapping for Energy and Minerals program) projects conducted in collaboration with the Northwest Territories Geoscience Office and its South Wopmay Bedrock Mapping project (Strategic Investments in Northern Economic Development program, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada). Material presented in the volume covers all aspects of Iron Oxide Copper-Gold Deposits, and has been presented in Short Courses by the editors and their contributors over the past several years. "This short course volume addresses critical issues in exploring for these deposits, provides case studies of reference deposits worldwide, and frames the diagnostic alteration types, paragenetic sequence, structural controls, and geophysical and geochemical signatures into zoning models, deposit classification and vectors for mineralization. Representative field examples and rock samples from stunning exposures of IOCG deposits and hydrothermal systems in the Great Bear Magmatic Zone (Canada) and worldwide analogues are amply illustrated. Regional to deposit scale alteration vectors to mineralization are developed to assist with exploration for IOCG deposits in both mature and in under-explored terrains that were largely mapped prior to recognition of the deposit type in the 1990s." (From the abstract for Chapter 1: Exploring for Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (Ag-Bi-Co-U) Deposits: Case Examples, Classification and Exploration Vectors, by Louise Corriveau and Hamid Mumin)

Geology of the Camooweal

These data are a digital representation of information depicted on the printed map of the Camooweal 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by AGSO and the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) in 1968.
Data present include geological polygons (litho-stratigraphic units), linear structural features (faults, dykes, folds, trends, lineaments etc), and point features (mines, structural points etc). Polygons have a range of attributes extracted from each individual map including unit name, age and lithological description, while lines and points are feature coded according to the AGSO publication 'Symbols Used On Geological Maps' (BMR 1989). A standard look-up table of AGSO geological codes and associated descriptions is available (see ADDITIONAL METADATA).
The data has gradually evolved from elementary CAD quality data into its present topologically structured GIS format, and hence has many imperfections and inconsistencies. Data has undergone rigorous validation and testing that includes over 80 different tests. See ADDITIONAL METADATA for more information on the data standards used.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Mount Barker (si50-11)

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.

pmd*CRC Total Systems Analysis of the Mt Isa Eastern Succession I2+3 Project. Final Project Report

Most of the rocks of the Eastern Succession of the Mt Isa inlier described in this report were formed between 1760 and 1500 Ma, post-dating the Archaean and early Palaeoproterozoic history. The geodynamic settings of both the depositional and orogenic parts of this history have been extensively debated in the past and are still unresolved at present.
Progress has been made in this report through an examination of the isotopic signatures of crustal blocks comprising the basement to the cover sequences, by analysing the geodynamic implications of mafic rocks and the voluminous late-orogenic felsic magmatism, and by a more detailed examination of the tectonothermal evolution.
