  • A seismic survey extending over the Poole Range and Price's Creek areas and the Pinnacle Fault, near the north-eastern boundary of the Fitzroy Basin was corducted during the winter of 1953. The Poole Range Dome has been mapped in outcropping rocks of Permian age, but its western closure is not certain. It is at the south-eastern end of a line of anticlinal folding which includes the St. George Range Dome and Nerrima Dome. The target beds for an oil test bore would be the Devonian and/or Ordovician rocks, which crop out on the north-eastern side of the Pinracle Fault, and over which the Permian rocks of the Poole Range are believed to lie unconformably. The seismic results indicate a thick section of sediments on the south-western side of the Pinnacle Fault and show a fair degree of conformity between shallow and deep reflections on the northern flank of the dome. Further investigatioll was made in 1954 around the flanks of the dome to determine whether or not the domal structure persists at depth, but the interpretation of the results of the 1954 survey is not yet complete. The Ordovician rocks on tbe north-eastern side of the Pinnacle fault are shown to have a probable unexposed thickness of about 900 feet.

  • The Southeast Tasmania and Southern Macquarie Ridge Bathymetry dataset was acquired by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) (Geoscience Australia predecessor) during the AUSTREA-2 marine survey undertaken from 15 January - 9 February 2000 onboard the French Oceanographic and Geoscience Research Vessel N/O L'Atalante using a Simrad EM12D multibeam sonar system. The survey was completed as part of the work to map the foot-of-slope position to support definition of Australia's legal Continental Shelf under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This dataset contains 120m-, 160m-, 250m-, 280m-, 300m-, 360m- and 440m-resolution 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF files of the bathymetry in the survey area, derived from the processed EM12D bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

  • This resource includes bathymetry data for Beagle Marine Park (Bass Strait) collected by Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies (University of Tasmania; UTAS) during the period 17 - 26 June 2018 on the TV Bluefin. The survey was undertaken as a collaborative project funded through the National Environmental Science Program Marine Biodiversity Hub, with co-investment by GA and UTAS. The purpose of the project was to build baseline information for benthic habitats in the Beagle Marine Park that will support ongoing environmental monitoring within the South-east Marine Park Network as part of the 10-year management plan (2013-2023). Data acquisition for the project was completed during three separate voyages: Phase 1 - Seabed mapping by multibeam sonar; Phase 2 - Seabed imagery acquisition by Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, and sediment sampling; Phase 3 - Survey of demersal fish communities using Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUVs). This dataset from Phase 1 comprises 11 bathymetry grids derived from multibeam sonar data gridded at 1 m spatial resolution, covering a combined area of 366 km2. A detailed report on the survey is provided in: Barrett, N., Monk, J., Nichol, S.L., Falster, G., Carroll, A., Siwabessy, J., Deane, A., Picard, K., Dando, N., Hulls, J., Evans, H. 2019, Beagle Marine Park Post Survey Report: South-east Marine Park Network.

  • A seismic reflection traverse was surveyed across the Perth Basin, Uestern Australia, between the townships of Rockingham and Mundijong. It was planned in order to give information regarding the depth of the Basin and its structure adjacent to the Darling Scarp. Seismic refraction traverses were surveyed to give the longitudinal velocities in the near surface granitic gneisses on the Precambrian Shield, and in the Cardup Series (Proterozoic) abutting the Darling Scarp. At least 14,000 ft of sediments are indicated in the deepest part of the Basin but there is no clear seismic evidence of what a maximum thickness might be. Seismic reflection results indicate that the sediments on the west of the Darling Scarp abut the older rocks on a plane that dips at about 60 degrees to the west and that cuts the surface some distance in front of the present position of the scarp. This suggests that the Darling Scarp at Eundijong is the surface expression of a normal fault. However, the presence of reflection alignments east of this postulated fault plane, and thus apparently arising within the granitic gneisses, is contrary to the fault hypothesis. The true nature of the tectonic features is thus unresolved. Seismic results indicate that faulting occurred within the Basin and such faulting may have completed closure of possible oil traps. Further seismic investigation of the faults and associated structures is recommended.

  • <p>Geoscience Australia through its partnership in the Australian Geodynamics Cooperative Research Centre (AGCRC) and Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) completed a joint research project to image the crustal structure of the Kalgoorlie region to develop a knowledge of the shallow and deep structures, tectonics, and fluid migration pathways. The Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) was contracted to acquire the seismic data. The project's objectives were to obtain a better understanding of 1. sub-surface geology at a regional and mine scale 2. regional crustal thickness and major features 3. stratigraphic and structural architecture of the mineral system 4. timing and locations of fluid migration pathways The seismic survey obtained 25 km of 10 fold CMP (common midpoint) regional reflection seismic data along two traverses and 8 km of 10 fold CMP high resolution reflection seismic data along another two traverses. The data are of good quality and similar to both the 1991 and 1999 Eastern Goldfields reflection seismic data to the north and south of the survey area. The major outcome of imaging the four localities included mapping the Golden Mile and Boulder-Lefroy Faults, and the Boorara Shear at depth. This new information indicates the Golden Mile Mine was fed by a suite of relatively minor faults dangling off the major crustal-scale Boorara Shear. The dangling element relates to percolation theory. The detachment surface was imaged on all seismic traverses. Thrust duplexes were interpreted above the detachment surface.

  • The Apollo Marine Park bathymetry survey was acquired by Deakin University Marine Mapping lab onboard the M/V Yolla during the period 07 January - 22 May 2021 using a Kongsberg EM2040C multibeam sonar system. The survey was completed as part of a contract with Parks Australia to map the shallow bathymetry in the Marine Park and an Our Marine Parks grant to extend the mapping within the park. The survey was led by Dr. Daniel Ierodiaconou (Deakin University). This dataset contains a 2m-resolution 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF file of the bathymetry in the study area, derived from the processed EM2040C bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

  • The seismic reflection survey was undertaken by the Bureau of Mineral Resources on top of gravity and magnetic surveys in the Gippsland Lakes district, Victoria. The aim of the seismic survey is to convience the favourable structure to the accumulation of oil being present on the overlying Tertiary rocks. Two north-south traverses and one running east-west and crossing the other two were surveyed.
