A three-dimensional (3D) map of the Cooper Basin region has been produced from 3D inversions of Bouguer gravity data using geological data to constrain the inversions. The 3D map has been used to predict temperatures and their uncertainty throughout the volume of the map. This will allow regions of elevated predicted temperature at 4-5 km to be identified, which may provide targets for future geothermal exploration in the Cooper Basin region. The 3D map delineates regions of low density within the basement of the Cooper and Eromanga basins that are inferred to be granitic bodies, which may act as heat sources. It also delineates the stratigraphy of the sedimentary basins which act as thermal insulation. This release is the second version of the 3D map of the Cooper Basin region. It builds on Version 1 of the Cooper Basin Region Geological map, released in 2009.

This dataset contains processed and raw backscatter data in matlab format produced by the CMST-GA MB Toolbox from various swath surveys in and around Australian waters.

The Regional Tropical Cyclone Hazard for Infrastructure Adaptation to Climate Change project aims to provide improved estimates of tropical cyclone wind hazard in current and future climates, for use in adaptation strategies such as wind speed-based building design criteria. The overarching goal is to make practical recommendations regarding the effect of climate change on tropical cyclones. This is most effectively achieved through evaluating the effect of climate change on extreme return period wind speeds (or severe wind hazard) across tropical Australia. In this manner, the combined effects of changes in frequency, intensity and spatial distribution of tropical cyclone events are integrated into a single quantity. Return period values are used widely in building design standards, and so represent an excellent way of informing adaptation decisions. Preceding components of the project evaluated the performance of existing general circulation models to simulate aspects of the climate important for tropical cyclones. Downscaling methods were applied to these models to create climatological simulations of tropical cyclones for input into Geoscience Australia's statistical-parametric tropical cyclone model. This, in turn, provided new estimates of severe wind hazard in both current and future climates, which may be used to make recommendations for adaptation strategies on a regional basis. Achieving this goal has required a close collaboration between the University of Melbourne, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) and Geoscience Australia. Analysis of the general circulation models and downscaling was undertaken by University of Melbourne. The downscaling was achieved using CMAR's Conformal-Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM). This report details the approach used by Geoscience Australia to evaluate severe wind hazard using statistical models, and analyses the effect of climate change on severe wind hazard.

From 1995 to 2000 information from the federal and state governments was compiled for Comprehensive Regional Assessments (CRA), which formed the basis for Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) that identified areas for conservation to meet targets agreed by the Commonwealth Government with the United Nations. This CD was created as part of GA's contribution to the Central Highlands CRA. It contains final versions of all data coverages and shapefiles used in the project, Published Graphics files in ArcInfo (.gra), postscript (.ps) and Web ready (.gif) formats, all Geophysical Images and Landsat data and final versions of documents provided for publishing.
