The Great Artesian Basin Research Priorities Workshop, organised by Geoscience Australia (GA), was held in Canberra on 27 and 28 April 2016. Workshop attendees represented a spectrum of stakeholders including government, policy, management, scientific and technical representatives interested in GAB-related water management. This workshop was aimed at identifying and documenting key science issues and strategies to fill hydrogeological knowledge gaps that will assist federal and state/territory governments in addressing groundwater management issues within the GAB, such as influencing the development of the next Strategic Management Plan for the GAB. This report summarises the findings out of the workshop.

Islands in the Pacific region rely heavily on their fresh groundwater, and for a number of islands it is the only reliable source of freshwater throughout the year. Stresses on groundwater resources in many Pacific Island countries are set to escalate in the future with projected population and economic growth. In addition, there are likely to be future climate impacts on groundwater availability and quality. Although a number of studies have been undertaken at a local scale, very limited information is available to consider the impacts of future climates on groundwater systems at a regional scale. This project provides a first-pass regional-scale assessment of the relative potential vulnerability of groundwater to: (i) low rainfall periods and (ii) mean sea-level rise for 15 Pacific Island countries and territories. The dataset associated with this report can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au using title "Pacific Island Groundwater Vulnerability to Future Climates Dataset" or catalogue number 81575.

A guide to the use of AEM geophysics for mapping SWI in coastal landscapes and karstic aquifer systems in Australia. The project was funded by the National Water Commission (NWC), with significant in-kind resources and funding provided by Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Northern Territory Department of Resources, Environment, Tourism, Arts and Sports (NRETAS).

This GA Record report is one of a series of 4 reports undertaken by the GA Groundwater Group under the National Collaboration Framework Project Agreement with the Office of Water Science (in the Department of the Environment). The report was originally submitted to the OWS in July 2013, and subsequently reviewed by the Victorian and South Australian governments. The Otway Basin is a priority coal-bearing sedimentary basin that is not currently slated for Bioregional Assessment programme research in the initial tranche of work.
