    The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. The terrestrial dose rate grid is derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids. A low pass filter is applied to this grid to generate the filtered terrestrial dose rate grid. This GSNSW Exploration NSW Area K Peel total count grid geodetic has a cell size of 0.00048 degrees (approximately 50m) and shows the terrestrial dose rate of the NSW DMR, Discovery 2000 Area K, Peel (Inverell,Manilla), NSW, 1998. The data used to produce this grid was acquired in 1998 by the NSW Government, and consisted of 61165 line-kilometres of data at 250m line spacing and 60m terrain clearance.

  • Fresh to brackish groundwaters in the range of 250 to 2250 mglL occur in fractured bedrock aquifers beneath dryland salinity sites at Yass in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales. The fractured bedrock in these catchments comprises marine, early Paleozoic slates, shales and sandstones in Dicks Creek and Williams Creek catchments, and porphyritic dacite and rhyodacite in Spring Creek catchment. The groundwaters are known to originate from recent meteoric waters. The waters represent various hydrochemical types, generated by chemical processes through water-rock interactions along their flow paths. The present chemical composition of major cations and anions in groundwaters from these catchments is derived from the following processes: 1. water-rock interaction in recharge zones where dissolution of minerals and oxidation processes occur, 2. ion-exchange and reverse ion exchange reactions with clay where it is present in fractures and veins in the bedrock, and 3. microbially mediated reactions with organic matter which produce very low redox potentials.

    Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This Nulla Nulla Gravity (P196554) contains a total of 21 point data values acquired at a spacing of 362 metres. The data is located in NSW, SA and were acquired in 1965, under project No. 196554 for Department of Mines and Energy South Australia (SADME).
