Antarctic Geodesy Field Report 2006-2007

Geoscience Australia has increased its capability on the Antarctic continent with the installation of Continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS) sites in the Prince Charles Mountains and Grove Mountains. Over the course of the 2006-07 Antarctic summer, Geoscience Australia and the Australian National University (ANU) installed new CGPS sites at the Bunger Hills and Richardson Lake and performed maintenance of the CGPS sites at the Grove Mountains, Wilson Bluff, Daltons Corner and Beaver Lake. The primary aim of the CGPS sites is to provide a reference frame for Antarctica, which is used to determine the long-term movement of the Antarctic plate. Data from Casey, Mawson and Davis is supplied to the International GPS Service (IGS) and in turn used in the derivation of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). The sites also open up opportunities for research into post-glacial rebound and plate tectonics.    
In addition, in the 2006-07 Antarctic summer a reconnaissance survey was undertaken at Syowa Station to determine whether a local tie survey could be performed on the Syowa VLBI antenna in the future. Upgrades were made to the Davis and Mawson CGPS stations and geodetic survey tasks such as reference mark surveys, tide gauge benchmark levelling and GPS surveys were performed at both Davis and Mawson stations. In addition, work requested by Geoscience Australia's Nuclear Monitoring Project, the Australian Government Antarctic Division (AGAD) and the University of Tasmania (UTAS) were completed.

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files: Quilpie (sg55-09)

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 Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places.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.

Tasmania Detailed Grid Survey (P199479), 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 Tasmania Detailed Grid Survey (P199479) contains a total of 350 point data values acquired at a spacing between 40 and 2000 metres. The data is located in TAS and were acquired in 1994, under project No. 199479 for None.

Assaying of radioactive rocks and ores

The information presented in this bulletin is based on experience gained by the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics, in, certain types of radioactive measurements. From the physicist's point of view, the contents will probably appear to be rather disconnected. However, the topics discussed have been chosen as being of interest to organizations such as mining companies desirous of employing physical methods of measurement in connexion with the search for, and development of, deposits of radioactive minerals, without any particular interest in the purely scientific, aspects of the subject. The following topics are treated:-
1. Naturally occurring radioactive elements, with a brief note on isotopes.
2. Principles of the design of instruments for measuring radioactivity.
3. Radiometric assaying.
4. Fluorimetric assaying.
The discussion is based mainly on the experience of the Geophysical Section of the Bureau, but reference is also made to published material from other sources. A brief bibliography refers to literature which has been found useful. It is stressed, however, that, this bibliography is by no means a complete one. The technique of prospecting for radioactive minerals is not discussed in detail, but is merely mentioned incidentally, where required. This subject is adequately covered in a joint publication by the Australian Atomic: Energy Commission and the Department of National Development (1954).

Stratigraphic reconstructions of bulk volatile chemistry from fluid inclusions in stratigraphic drillhole 99VRNTGSDD1, Birrindudu Basin

Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential.
The Paleo to Mesoproterozoic Birrindudu Basin is an underexplored frontier basin located in northwestern Northern Territory and northeastern Western Australia. The Birrindudu Basin is a region of focus for the second phase of the EFTF program (2020–2024) as it contains strata of similar age to the prospective McArthur Basin, South Nicholson region and Mount Isa Province, but remains comparatively poorly understood.
Geoscience Australia have undertaken (via the service provider, FIT, Schlumberger) stratigraphic reconstructions of bulk volatile chemistry from fluid inclusions from the NTGS stratigraphic drillhole 99VRNTGSDD1, Birrindudu Basin, located in the northwest Northern Territory.
This ecat record releases the final report containing the results of fluid inclusion stratigraphy, thin section and microthermometry analyses, raw data files (*.LAS) and rock descriptions by FIT Schlumberger. Company reference number FI230005c.

Self consistent fault scaling: extension to continental strike-slip faults

Whilst there is no data available to constrain the relations for SCR strike-slip faults there is a demand for these relations in the interpretation of scarps from palaeo-earthquakes. Whist the author is not aware of any specific examples; there might also be situations where strike-slip earthquakes need to be incorporated into hazard and/or risk models. We use the observed difference between plate boundary dip-slip and strike-slip faults to estimate SCR strike-slip parameters from the SCR dip-slip parameters.
We also give the results for all 10 permutations of of M0, D, L, W and A  for all for of dip-slip and strike-slip faults in intra-plate and inter-plate ectonic environments.

Australian Petroleum Accumulations Report 7 Browse Basin: Western Australia and Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands adjacent area, 2nd edition

The Browse Basin Australian Petroleum Accumulations (APA) report provides a summary of petroleum discoveries and significant hydrocarbon shows found within the basin up until May 2014. This report differs slightly from previous reports in this series in that it documents inferred accumulations, whereas previous APA's reported ademonstrated discovery; that is, a discrete, measured recovery of petroleum from a test undertaken in an exploration well. The Browse Basin lies offshore from the remote Western Australia Kimberley region and hosts vast reserves of gas, some of which are rich in condensate, making it Australia's next major conventional liquefied natural gas (LNG) province on the North West Shelf. A recent upgrade of the super-giant Ichthys gas accumulation by operator Inpex estimated that the field holds 12.8 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas. This accumulation is also estimated to contain 527 million barrels (mmbbl) of condensate, making it the largest hydrocarbon accumulation with recoverable liquids found in Australia since the discovery of the Gippsland Basin and Barrow Island oil fields in the 1960s, as well as being one of the country's top five gas fields.
The Browse Basin continues to be a focus of exploration in which both international companies, such as Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Inpex, Shell and Sinopec, and the Australian explorers BHP Billiton, Nexus Energy, Santos and Woodside Energy, are capitalising on LNG opportunities.
