Science and Technology for Disaster Management: Ten Years of Indonesia - Australia Collaboration

Indonesia is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world due to its hazard profile and high population exposure. Despite its risk profile, disaster management has not traditionally been informed by best available information. 
Since 2008, the Australian and Indonesian governments have partnered to increase the use of science and technology in Indonesia to support decision making in disaster management. Our partnership has concentrated on strengthening the evidence base for informed disaster management by improving:
-   hazard information for earthquake, tsunami, volcano and flood
-   spatial data for exposure (population, building, roads and infrastructure)
-   decision support tools such as InaSAFE that assist disaster managers to combine hazard and exposure data to inform disaster response and management. 
We have worked alongside   technical and disaster management agencies, universities, non-government organisations and the private sector to develop Indonesian capacity to manage disasters and institutionalise best-practices. Partnerships have facilitated science-to-policy and science-to-programming outcomes in disaster management that help people prepare for, respond to and recover from crises.
Ten years is a good time for a partnership to form, blossom and deliver effective and sustainable changes. The achievements over this time are too many to list in entirety. Science and Technology for Disaster Management merely scratches the surface to highlight the most significant achievements. There is a tendency in doing so to focus on achievements over the last three years. In most cases the achievements of this later period of the program have only been possible because they have built on and extended the achievements of the former seven years. 
Science and Technology for Disaster Management demonstrates how our collaboration has increased the use of science and technology in Indonesian disaster management by developing new knowledge and enhancing capacity, both within the scientists and within policy and decision makers. In doing so, tangible policies have been developed and implemented and practices have changed. The program has helped to strengthen relationships between agencies within Indonesia and also between Indonesia and Australia in the areas of disaster management and science more broadly. New relationships manifest as distinct government-to-government collaborations and strong peer-to-peer links.

Stansmore Range Gravity (P196437), 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 Stansmore Range Gravity (P196437) contains a total of 1174 point data values acquired at a spacing of 3218 metres. The data is located in WA and were acquired in 1964, under project No. 196437 for Geosurveys Australia Pty Ltd.

Australia's Identified Mineral Resources 2008

Geoscience Australia provides information on the nation's future capacity to produce mineral resources. Australia's Identified Mineral Resources is an annual nation-wide assessment of Australia's ore reserves and mineral resources. All major and a number of minor mineral commodities mined in Australia are assessed. It includes international rankings, summaries of significant exploration results, brief reviews of mining industry developments, and an analysis of mineral exploration expenditure across the States and Northern Territory. AIMR provides governments, industry, the investment sector and general community with an informed understanding of Australia's known mineral endowment and level of exploration activity. An important objective is to monitor whether resources are being discovered and developed for production at rates sufficient to maintain Australia's position as a major supplier of mineral commodities.
Australia's economic demonstrated resources (EDR) for the following 18 mineral commodities increased during 2007 - antimony, bauxite, cobalt, copper, gold, iron ore, manganese ore, ilmenite, rutile, zircon, molybdenum, nickel, rare earths, silver, tungsten, uranium, vanadium and zinc. In the same period, EDR of eight commodities - black coal, cadmium, diamonds (gem and industrial), lead, niobium, phosphate rock, platinum group metals and tantalum decreased. EDR for brown coal, lithium, magnesite, shale oil and tin remained at levels similar to those reported in 2006.
Increases in EDR were due to on-going drilling and evaluation of known deposits resulting in the transfer (re-assessment) of resources from inferred or sub-economic categories into EDR and the discovery of new deposits or extensions of known deposits. Sustained increases in prices for most metal and mineral commodities over recent years has allowed companies to re-assess the economic viability of lower grade resources and deposits which previously were considered to be uneconomic. Overall this has contributed to an increase in EDR for many metal and mineral commodities.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sk55-12)

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.

MRTAS SW Tasmania tmi vd1 grid geodetic

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.
This MRTAS SW Tasmania tmi vd1 grid geodetic is a first vertical derivative of the Total Magnetic Intensity grid for the South West Tasmania, Tas, 2001 (WTRMP Area D).
This grid has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 40m). The grid has units of nanoTesla per km (or nT/km). The data used to produce the TMI grid was acquired in 2000 by the TAS Government, and consisted of 13701 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 80m terrain clearance. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) process was applied to the original grid to calculate the first vertical derivative grid.

Microbial nutrient cycling in seagrass sediments

Seagrasses are specialised flowering plants with roots and vascular tissue. They differ from algae in that they can absorb and translocate nutrients from soft sediments. This provides seagrasses with access to the generally higher nutrient pools in sediments compared with the overlying water column. The interactions between seagrasses and the sediments surrounding their roots are important in nutrient cycling. Microbial flora in the seagrass rhizosphere form an intimate association with the seagrasses. In particular, nitrogen-fixing bacteria have a very close associationwith seagrass roots. Nitrogen fixed in the sediments can be found in seagrass leaves within hours, although seagrasses do not appear to have endosymbiotic associations like many terrestrial plants.  Seagrasses influence the bacteria surrounding the roots via exudation of dissolved organic carbon and oxygen and through seagrass nutrient uptake. This association between seagrasses and bacteria affects both the rates and pool sizes of various elements in the sediments.

Critical Minerals in Ores (CMiO) Database factsheet

Critical minerals are commodities essential to modern industrial and strategic technologies and are highly vulnerable to supply chain disruption. The Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative (CMMI) is a collaboration among the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the Geological Survey of Canada, and Geoscience Australia that aims to deepen global understanding of where critical minerals are located. A key output of this initiative is the Critical Minerals in Ores (CMiO) database that is advancing our collective understanding of critical minerals distributions. For instance, publicly available data on the concentrations of many critical minerals are sparse because these commodities can only be produced in small, yet essential, quantities compared to the primary commodities like copper and zinc. The CMiO database helps bridge this gap by offering high-quality, multielement geochemical data from a wide variety of critical mineral-bearing deposits around the world. Importantly, it uses a novel consensus deposit environment, group, and type classification scheme developed by the agencies that allows comparisons among ore deposits from different regions. The CMiO database contains geochemical data for more than 20,000 samples from more than 100 deposit types comprising 10 deposit environments.
