This database allows users to search for - naturally-occurring landslides - landslides with a significant human contribution or directly triggered by humans,- flood events causing significant erosion, and - flash flood events involving mud or debris - which have been recorded by Geoscience Australia and contributing scientific organisations and returns these landslide and flood events along with their associated data. - Human-triggered landslides include events such as sand collapses caused by children digging holes or tunnels, boulders displaced by climbers, rock ledges breaking off when a person stands or sits on them, and collapses caused by excavation. Landslides are often called landslips and the terms are interchangeable. Last updated June 2018

This is a CD rom that enables users to obtain relevant information on how to invest in mineral exploration within Australia.

The Geoscience Australia World Wind Suite is a suite of tools built around the NASA World Wind Java SDK including the World Wind Data Viewer and Animator tools. The tool suite has been released as open source under the Apache 2.0 license and is available through Github (http://www.ga.gov.au/ga-m3dv/ga-worldwind-suite). Individual products in the suite are catalogued individually under IDs 69165 and 73044.

This software suite has been under development since 1969 and is stored as a file system under /nas/pmd/prg/. It consists of source code for geophysical software written for processing tasks which cannot be accomplished using commercially licensed software accessible to GA. The majority of this software is written in Fortran, Perl, Python, awk and Visual Basic programming languages designed to run on Unix, Linux, Windows and Vax/VMS operating systems. At the date of this entry the collection has 1390 inventoried computer programs and 263,000 lines of code. The source code contains standardised headers following guidelines developed by GA's Programmer User Group (and fits with ISO 19115), and this allows the collection to be discovered and delivered via a web-based seach tool (see links). Current contributors are listed as authors of this metadata entry, however past employees and others are noted with the standard author header for each item of software.

Upgrade for software package for geochemical modelling released in 1999. Available from OEMD on request to Evgeniy Bastrakov (a password is set for a particular user).

The physical properties of non-porous basement rocks are directly related to the mineralogy of those rocks. The MineralMapper3D software package originally developed by Nick Williams at the Predictive Mineral Discovery Cooperative Research Centre (pmd*CRC), Geoscience Australia, uses the physical properties of minerals to provide bounds on estimates of the abundance of specified minerals in non-porous basement rocks. This approach is applicable to both estimates of density and magnetic susceptibility derived from 3D inversions of gravity and magnetic data as well as physical measurements on specimens or down-hole derived physical properties.

Interactive application of Geoscience Australia's Australia through time poster, which gives a brief overview of Australia's geological history, featuring the geological timescale and paleogeograpgy of the continents.

This software package is used to produce Bushfire Attack Level (BAL), a measure of the severity of a building's potential exposure to bushfire, based on Method 1 in Australian Standard AS 3959 (2009)--Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas.
