  • This abstract is to be submitted for the Great Artesian Basin Coordinating Committee Researcher's Forum on 27th-28th of March 2013, as part of the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment launch at the event.

  • Coastal aquifers are vulnerable to seawater intrusion, which is a significant issue in Australia. Geoscience Australia and the Nation Centre of Groundwater Research and Training undertook an assessment of Australia's vulnerability to seawater intrusion. The assessment utilised multiple approaches, including a vulnerability factor analysis; typological analysis; mathematical analysis; qualitative and quantitative analysis; and future land surface inundation and population growth analysis. This is presented as an abstract for the 2013 IAH Congress.

  • Hydrogeological assessment of the Maryborough Basin, submitted as an abstract for the 2013 IAH Congress.

  • The Petrel Sub-basin CO2 Storage Study data package includes the datasets used for the study located in the Petrel Sub-basin, Bonaparte Basin, offshore Northern Territory. The datasets supports the results of the Geoscience Australia Record 2014/11 and appendices. The study provides an evaluation of the CO2 geological storage potential of the Petrel Sub-basin and was part of the Australian government's National Low Emission Coal Initiative.

  • This report describes products, outputs and outcomes of the three-dimensional (3D) visualisation component of the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment (the Assessment). This report specifically encompasses the following topics associated with the 3D visualisation component: - the requirements and potential benefits - the effective datasets - methodology used in content creation - the output datasets - discussions regarding outcomes, limitations and future directions. The Assessment is designed to assist water managers in the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) to meet National Water Initiative commitments. The key datasets of the 3D visualisation component include contact surfaces between major aquifers and aquitards with coverage of significant portions of the GAB, well lithostratigraphic and wire-line data and hydrogeochemistry produced by State and National Agencies. These datasets are manipulated within GOCAD® to develop the 3D visualisation component and communication products for use by end users to assist visualisation and conceptualisation of the GAB. While many options have been investigated for distribution of these 3D products, 2D screen captures and content delivery via the Geoscience Australia (GA) World Wind 3D data viewer will be the most efficient and effective products.

  • The NDI Carrara 1 sedimentology, microstructural analysis and sequence stratigraphy program was a joint undertaking between Geoscience Australia (GA) and CSIRO (Perth) as part of the Exploring for the Future program to examine the sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy and paleogeography of the Carrara Sub-basin. The program was based on recovered core from the National Drilling Initiative (NDI) deep stratigraphic drill hole, NDI Carrara 1. NDI Carrara 1 is the first drill hole to intersect the Proterozoic rocks of the Carrara Sub-Basin, a large depocentre discovered during seismic acquisition conducted during the first phase of the EFTF program in 2017. NDI Carrara 1 is located on the western flanks of the Carrara Sub-basin, reaching a total depth of 1751 m, intersecting ca. 630 m of Cambrian Georgina Basin overlying ca. 1100 m of Proterozoic carbonates, black shales and siliciclastics. This final report, and associated appendices, compiles the findings of three milestone deliverables. The first component of the report addresses the sedimentology of the Proterozoic section of NDI Carrara 1 with an accompanying Appendix (core log, from HyLogger data). The second component is a detailed microstructural analysis based on selected thin sections in intervals of interest. The final component completed a 1D sequence stratigraphic assessment, enabling regional stratigraphic correlations to be established and an interpretive paleogeographic map generated for the Proterozoic sequences of interest across the region .
