  • A short animation of an atmospheric simulation of methane emissions from a coal mine (produced using TAPM) compared to actual methane concentrations detected by the Atmospheric Monitoring Station, Arcturus in Central Queensland. It illustrates the effectiveness of both the detection and simulation techniques in the monitoring of atmospheric methane emissions. The animation shows a moving trace of both the simulated and actual recorded emissions data, along with windspeed and direction indicators. Some data provided by CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research.

  • A selection of images and short animations explaining key aspects of the 2004 Indian Ocean/ Sumatra tsunami, revised and issued for release to the media and other interested organisations on the tenth anniversary of the disaster. This selection updates existing resources previously released by Geoscience Australia.

  • This movie describes the main findings of two Geoscience Australia surveys to the Gulf of Carpentaria in 2003 (survey 238) and 2005 (survey 276). The story relates to the discovery of submerged coral reefs across the southern Gulf and how they were identified using new multibeam sonar technology. The age of the reefs was determined using drill-core samples collected from the reefs, and measured by the Uranium/Thorium method at the Australian National University. The submerged reefs in the Gulf were not known to exist prior to this study and their discovery adds a new coral reef province to be managed and protected as part of Australia's marine zone.

  • Short video of earthquakes occurring in Tasmania during 2013 shown as a time lapse.

  • Short video of earthquakes occurring in Victoria during 2013 shown as a time lapse.

  • Short video of earthquakes occurring in Western Australia during 2013 shown as a time lapse.

  • Short video of earthquakes occurring in Northern Territory during 2013 shown as a time lapse.

  • The movie describes the marine reconnaisance and seismic surveys undertaken between November 2008 and February 2009 as part of the South-West Margin Project. This is part of the broader part of the Energy Security Program. Video and still images from the marine reconnaisance and seismic surveys. Seismic cross-sections. Bathymetric flythroughs

  • A 3.30 minute movie, (based on the movie used in the 2007 Acreage Release Product CD - Geocat No. 65159), that has the viewer flying around Australia to 6 release areas: Gippsland Basin, Money Shoal Basin, Bonaparte Basin, Canning Basin, Browse Basin and Carnarvon Basin. The movie also stops at each release area to view, in detail, the: International/State seafloor boundaries; oil and gas fields; release areas; Basin/sub-basin outlines. Topographic markers are also shown, where possible. This movie has the addition of MUSIC.
