2014 Open Day Promotional Material

This USB has been produces for promotional puposes and will be handed out (free) at domestic and international conferences. The USB contains a selection of reports, flyers, maps and data. Products are grouped into 4 categories: Records and Brochures, Mineral Depsits, Geophysical Data and Surface Geology.

OzCoasts 2012 poster is used for promoting OzCoasts website hosted in Geoscience Australia in national Coast to Coast 2012 conference in Brisbane.

Satellite Earth observation data presents unique opportunities for society to respond to major challenges like climate change, food security and sustainable development. But significant technical challenges, including to enable different data streams to be integrated and the sheer volume of the data, are preventing that full value from being realised. The explosion in free, highresolution, global data from next-generation satellites, linked with the potential of new highperformance ICT infrastructure and architectures, positions us to meet this challenge. As the 2016 CEOS Chair, and as a sophisticated user of multiple EO satellite data streams, Australia is proposing that CEOS explore how these new technologies can ensure CEOS agency satellite data can be 'unlocked and put to work'.

The Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AG-DC) Display Poster explains the key concepts of the AG-DC including the use of high performance comuting to analyse data efficiently across time and space by dicing images along a regular set of geographic 1 degree by 1 degree grid-lines to produce tiles which are then stacked according to time.

Poster describing the FIRE-DST project (GA contribution) focising on the developments in 2011/12 FY with respect to the Bushfire Risk Assessment Framework (BRAF) and the computational framework.

This product is a promotional flyer to showcase some of the cpaability and capacity of the regional development section, with a focus on the PNG work.

The poster/panel summarises result of preliminary fluid flow and chemical modelling in the Frome Embayment

As part of Geoscience Australia's Southwest Margin Project, two major marine surveys were undertaken (from October 2008 to February 2009) to investigate the resource potential of deep-water frontier areas on the southwest Australian continental margin. 1. Southwest Australian Margin Regional Marine 2D Seismic Survey (S310) - Areas covered by the seismic survey include the Mentelle Basin, North Perth Basin (Zeewyck and Houtman Sub-basins), Southern Carnarvon Basin and the Wallaby Plateau. Data acquired: 7300 kilometres of 2D seismic (12 second record length, 8 km solid streamer), gravity and magnetic data. In addition to the new seismic reflection data, Geoscience Australia has reprocessed selected open-file industry seismic lines in the offshore Northern Perth Basin (11,700 line km) that provides ties to most wells in the Abrolhos and Houtman sub-basins. 2. Southwest Australian Margin Marine Reconnaissance Survey - The marine reconnaissance survey investigated the geology and marine environments of the offshore North Perth and Southern Carnarvon Basins and the Wallaby Plateau. Data acquired: multibeam swath bathymetry (230,000 km2), gravity and magnetics (25,000 line km), sub-bottom profiler (25,000 line km), geological samples (190 rocks from 53 dredge sites)

The National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) project was established under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (2006-2011). The project is a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the geological surveys of all States and the Northern Territory. The primary aim of the NGSA project is to provide pre-competitive data and knowledge to support exploration for energy resources in Australia. In particular, it will improve the existing knowledge of the concentrations and distributions of energy-related elements such as uranium (U) and thorium (Th) at the national scale. To date, the project has completed field sampling and sample preparation. Outlet sediments of 1186 large catchments covering >6 M km2 (or 80% of Australia) have been sampled at 2 depths. Sample analyses are under way and will include total, aqua regia digestion and non-selective partial extraction element contents. By June 2011, the NGSA project will deliver a web-based atlas of geochemical maps, a database and a series of reports describing the project and its results.
