What is Karst? Karst landscapes are shaped when surface or ground water becomes weakly acidic and reacts chemically with atmosphere or soil carbon dioxide. The dissolving actions of water on limestone bedrock result in a distinctive landscape defined by depressions such as sinkholes, caves, holes and solution pipes.

These guidelines set out arrangements to ensure a uniform and consistent approach to administration of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 and the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) (Data Management) Regulations 2004, and the equivalent legislation in the States/NT. The Guidelines will assist industry in managing data submission requirements and for feedback. They will be modified as required in accordance with prevailing petroleum legislation and supporting regulations, and also with technology. Titleholders are encouraged to submit data in the manner described in the document. In the event of disagreement between these guidelines and current legislation or directions, the latter will prevail. For further information regarding these guidelines please contact: Eddie Resiak, Geoscience Australia, 02 6249 9289, eddie.resiak@ga.gov.au For feedback on these guidelines please contact: Andrew Barrett, Geoscience Australia, 02 6249 9440, andrew.barrett@ga.gov.au

A Mid Jurassic (late Callovian) suite of marine microplankton is present in the Elang Formation and its equivalents in the Timor Sea, offshore north-western Australia. It includes two genera, Voodooia and Woodinia and eleven species of dinoflagellate cysts which are described as new. The dinoflagellate cyst species are Ctenidodinium ancorum, Ctenidodinium fuscibasilarum, Ctenidodinium planocristatum, Durotrigia magna, Fusiformacysta terniana, Lithodinia protothymosa, Meiourogonyaulax penitabulata, Meiourogonyaulax viriosa, Voodooia tabulata, Woodinia pedis and Yalkalpodinium elangiana. A new acritarch species, Nummus apiculus, is also described. The dinoflagellate cyst genus Fusiformacysta is emended to stress the 3P nature of the archaeopyle and the presence of at least one, small anterior intercalary paraplate. The genera Lithodinia and Meiourogonyaulax are both maintained here, as the opercula are compound and simple respectively. Tabulodinium and its single species, T. senarium, are emended, in order to fully describe this intriguing species, the ornamentation of which is apparently destroyed by oxidation. The genus Yalkalpodium is emended to accommodate the new form Y. elangiana. All these new microplankton taxa have stratigraphical utility in the Wanaea digitata and Rigaudella aemula (interval) zones.

Knowledge of the nature of buildings within CBD areas is fundamental to a broad range of decision making processes, including planning, emergency management and the mitigation of the impact of natural hazards. To support these activities, Geoscience Australia has developed a building information system called the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) which provides information on buildings across Australia. Most of the building level information in NEXIS is statistically derived, but efforts are being made to include more detailed information on the nature of individual buildings, particularly in CBD areas. This is being achieved in Sydney through field survey work.

Introduction Australia has a thriving oil and gas industry with expanding infrastructure and many exploration opportunities. Geologically the country has the potential for large oil and gas discoveries within extensive sedimentary basins. Australia is also one of the world leaders in providing open-file geological data at a low cost, and an open Acreage Release process with competitive taxation regimes. Politically, Australia is very stable with a very high standard of living and a long-standing democratic culture based on the rights of the individual and the rule of the law. There is a free market philosophy which welcomes foreign investment - Australia has no mandatory local equity requirements and has no government owned oil companies. Government facilitation of investment includes fast-tracking of approvals processes for major projects. This CD provides some basic Australian data including: Oil and Gas Resources of Australia 2002 The Oil and Gas Resources of Australia 2002 (link to Pdf ) publication is the definitive reference on exploration, development and production of Australia's petroleum resources. It covers exploration, reserves, undiscovered resources,development, coal-bed methane resources, production, crude oil and shale oil and supporting information and statistics. An estimate of Australia's undiscovered oil and gas potential and a review of geological sequestration of carbon dioxide in Australia is also included. Australian Research and Promotional Material The Australian Research and Promotional Material section includes selected scientific publications on Australia and CO2 Sequestration. Promotional pamphlets are also included outlining geological products available from Geoscience Australia and contacts for obtaining these products. Research and Promotional material is grouped into regions: 1. Regional Australian Studies 2. North West Shelf 3. Australian Southern Margins 4. Carbon Dioxide Sequestration 5. Geoscience Australia Online Databases Demonstration The Geoscience Australia Petroleum Databases Demonstration is in PDF format and contains instructions on how to use Geoscience Australia's web-based Petroleum Databases located at: www.ga.gov.au/oracle/apcrc/ The Petroluem Databases, available through the Geoscience Australia website, contain open-file data and include: the Australian Geological Provinces Database, the Petroleum Information Management System (PIMS) GIS, the National Petroleum Wells Database and the National Geoscience GIS.
