  • This report outlines the field geophysical work carried out in the vicinity of Wilkes Base (Lat. 660 15' 8, Long. 1100 31' E), Australian Antarctic Territory, during the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition of 1965-66. The work can be broadly divided into four parts. 1. An autumn traverse where seismic reflection stations were established every 10 miles around a triangle with corners at Cape Folger, the Dome Centre and Cape Poinsett. 2. A mid winter traverse to the inland glaciology station S-2 for a programme of seismic ice velocity studies. 3. A spring traverse where a rectangular grid network of seismic, gravity, and elevation stations were installed in a region between S-2 and 80 miles south of S-2. 4. Two attempts at recording reflections off the Mohorovicic discontinuity shot in the vicinity of Wilkes.

  • Processed seismic data (SEG-Y format) and TIFF images for the 2007 AuScope Deep Crustal Seismic Survey (L186), acquired by Geoscience Australia (GA) and funded by the Australian Government under the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy. Field logistics and processing were carried out by the Seismic Acquisition and Processing team from Geoscience Australia. Stack and migrated data for line 07GA-A1 as well as CDP coordinates. The seismic line is oriented approximately northeast-southwest and extends from near Mt Surprise in the southwest to near Mareeba in the northeast. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

  • Processed seismic data (SEG-Y format) and TIFF images for the Arrowie line acquired as part of the 2008 Curnamona-Gawler-Arrowie Deep Crustal Seismic Survey (L189), acquired by Geoscience Australia (GA) under the Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP). Stack and migrated data for line 08GA-A1 as well as CDP coordinates and gravity data. The Arrrowie line is 60km in length and was sited south of Lake Torrens and north of Port Augusta. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

  • Processed seismic data (SEG-Y format) and TIFF images for the Curnamona line acquired as part of the 2008 Curnamona-Gawler-Arrowie Deep Crustal Seismic Survey (L189), acquired by Geoscience Australia (GA) under the Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP). Stack and migrated data for line 08GA-C1 as well as CDP coordinates and gravity data. The Curnamona line is 262km in length and runs north-south, east of Lake Frome in South Australia. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

  • Terracorp under its facilities management agreement with ANSIR was contracted to conduct the 1999 Yilgarn Seismic Survey located in the Kalgoorlie Goldfields region of Western Australia. In total 194.64 kms of 60 and 120 fold, 240 channel data was recorded between 19th August and 3rd September 1999. This high resolution and regional seismic profiles were acquired in order to image the major structural features of the region, particularly the highly mineralised Bardoc-Boorara Shear and to provide three-dimensional information about the relationship between the greenstones and the granites. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

  • Terracorp under its facilities management agreement with ANSIR was contracted to conduct the 1999 Lachlan and Marsden Seismic Surveys located around West Wyalong, NSW. In total 206.47 kms of 60, 80 and 120 fold, 160 & 240 channel data was recorded between 11th September 1999 and 29th September 1999. This Eastern Lachlan Orogen project was part of the research conducted by the Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre (AGCRC), which was established under the auspices of the Commonwealth Government's Cooperative Research Centres Program in 1993. The Ordovician volcanics and associated rocks of the Eastern Lachlan Orogen are important as a significant Australian gold province. To assist mineral exploration companies in understanding the geodynamics and mineral systems of this region, the AGCRC has been collecting information that will assist in the development of geodynamic and exploration models of the region. To understand the size and architecture of the mineral system, we need to know the threedimensional geometry of the system we are dealing with. To start to address this, in 1997 the AGCRC commenced a project in the Eastern Lachlan Orogen by collecting seismic information to examine the regional scale crustal architecture as a first step towards building exploration models for the region. We continued this work in 1999 with the collection of further deep seismic reflection data along two traverses in the Forbes-West Wyalong region. The northern traverse was jointly funded by the AGCRC and the Geological Survey of New South Wales (GSNSW) as a cooperative research project. The southern traverse was funded by the AGCRC, and co-investigators in the seismic interpretation involved staff from the AGCRC at AGSO, the GSNSW, and AGSO's Gilmore Project.
