  • This web service delivers metadata for onshore active and passive seismic surveys conducted across the Australian continent by Geoscience Australia and its collaborative partners. For active seismic this metadata includes survey header data, line location and positional information, and the energy source type and parameters used to acquire the seismic line data. For passive seismic this metadata includes information about station name and location, start and end dates, operators and instruments. The metadata are maintained in Geoscience Australia's onshore active seismic and passive seismic database, which is being added to as new surveys are undertaken. Links to datasets, reports and other publications for the seismic surveys are provided in the metadata.

  • The Coompana Project is a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of South Australia, co-funded by Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future Programme and the South Australian Government’s PACE Copper Initiative. The Coompana Project aims to provide new precompetitive geological, geophysical and geochemical data in the under-explored Coompana Province in South Australia. The pre-drilling geophysics program was undertaken to assist the drilling process by reducing the uncertainty associated with intersecting the targeted stratigraphy. Seismic data were acquired at eight proposed drilling sites for the Coompana Drilling Program in February 2017. Seismic data were collected using vertical and horizontal geophones. An accelerated weight-drop source was tested with metal and plastic strike plates. The plastic strike plate was preferred and used for all sites. Vertical geophone P-wave data were collected at all sites. At most sites fan shots from approximately 100 m perpendicular to the centre of the geophone spread were recorded. Far offset refractions shots were also recorded. Horizontal geophone S-wave data were acquired at five sites, including fan shots approximately 100 m perpendicular to the centre of the spread. The data release includes all seismic data recorded as SEG-2. The associated meta-data includes the a copy of the observer’s logs and coordinates files. The coordinates are presented as text files output for geophone station and source locations from the RTK or Garmin GPS systems. A README.txt file explains the ID column in the coordinates text files and details about the coordinates files. The shot and geophone station locations are also provided in KML format.

  • <p>Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic reflection, seismic crustal refraction and gravity survey in southeastern Queenland from August to November 1986. The primary objective of the survey was to complete seismic reflection coverage in the Dalby-Toowoomba area between Traverse 14 and Traverse 16 recorded during the BMR S.E. Queensland seismic survey in 1984. Secondary objectives, subject to survey progress included recording additional seismic reflection data east of Traverse 16 (1984). Overall the survey objectives would allow the completion of a continuous deep crustal seismic reflection profile of 1110 km length across southern Queensland, the basis of a lithospheric transect study in the southern region of Queensland. The survey obtained a total of 181 km of six-sixteen fold Common-Middle-Point (CMP) seismic reflection data in the Beenleigh, Darling Downs and Mitchell areas, using the Sercel SN368 seismic acquisition system.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74962</b>
