The Blackall Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey of Central Queensland was flown between March 11th to 6th April 2024. Contracted to Xcalibur Smart Mapping, Geoscience Australia undertook the project management, contract management and quality control on behalf of the Geological Survey of Queensland. The located data, gridded data and quality control reports are contained within this record. Survey area was centered on longitude 147° 21’ E and latitude 25° 16’ S to the south of Blackall. A total of 34 production flights were flown for a combined total of 15,705.4 line kilometres of data and acquired on 1000 m line spacing at 100 m nominal terrain clearance. Quality control was performed by airborne gravity consultant Dr Mark Dransfield on behalf of Geoscience Australia, with his report included here. The survey was designed to supplement the regional legacy ground gravity data and improve the definition of gravimetric anomalies in the region. In addition, the AGG survey will provide better understanding of the cover sequence thickness and characteristics of the underlying basement geology. The data will be released by the Geological Survey of Queensland and can be found at: https://geoscience.data.qld.gov.au/data/gravity-gradiometry/gg104288.

CGG Aviation (now Xcalibur Multiphysics) collected airborne gravity data in the Kidson area covering parts of the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts in central Western Australia as part of a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA). The aim of the project was to collect airborne gravity gradiometry data in the region at 2500 m wavelength resolution to help characterise key undercover geological elements of the region. The survey consisted of a Main block and an Extension block. Data were acquired from North/South flight lines (Main block) and East-West flight lines (Extension block) with an average target ground clearance of 120m. Tie lines at 25,000m line spacing were flown only for the Main block. A total of 78,700 line kilometres of data were collected during the survey. <b>Survey details</b> Survey Name: Kidson WA airborne gravity gradiometer survey 2017 State/Territory: Western Australia Datasets Acquired: Airborne gravity gradiometer Geoscience Australia Project Number: Acquisition Start Date: July 21, 2017 Acquisition End Date: May 3, 2018 Number of blocks: 2 Flight line spacing: 2,500m Flight line direction: Area 1 - 180 deg/ NS; Area 2 - 270 deg/EW Tie line spacing: 25,000m Tie line direction: Area 1 only - 270 deg / EW Total distance flown: 78,700 line kilometres Nominal terrain clearance (above ground level): 120m Clearance method: Drape Aircraft type: 2 aircrafts with different Falcon AGG system installed - Cessna Grand Caravan 208B / Full spectrum Falcon system Kepler/Newton Data Acquisition: CGG Aviation Australia Pty Ltd Project Management: Geoscience Australia Quality Control: Dr Mark Dransfield contracted by Geoscience Australia Dataset Ownership: Western Australia and Geoscience Australia <b>Files included in this download</b> The original agreement with CGG Aviation Australia Pty Ltd (CGG) stated that gradient point located data was available for purchase on non-exclusive terms from CGG until 30 June 2027, after which date the gradient data would be made public.
