Mapping of outcrop geology on Laverton SH51-2 1:250 000 map sheet in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia, undertaken 1989-95 by Duggan MB, Williams PR, Jagodzinski EA, Rattenbury M, Champion D, Currie KL, Blake DH, Stewart AJ, Bastrakova I and J.Martyn and Associates, as part of the National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA). Briefly, mapping consists of geological boundaries/units, faults, folds, veins, dykes, joints, linears, marker beds, trends, structural measurements, and mineral deposits.

During the period 1984-1996, AGSO compiled and produced a series of Palaeogeographic atlases of Australia for the Phanerozoic Eon. The Atlases - Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Permian, Jurassic, and Cainozoic - contained maps which summarised the most important sedimentological data extracted from a wide variety of sources. Due to time and resource constraints four Periods (Devonian, Carboniferous, Triassic and Cretaceous) were not published, although data were compiled. Atlases consisted of a series of Data and Interpretation maps a Structure map, and supporting Stratigraphic Columns and text. Maps were compiled at a scale of 1:5 000 000. The PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC ATLAS OF AUSTRALIA dataset has resulted from the conversion of the CAD atlas maps from all ten atlases into a format compatible with GIS applications. Important CAD elements such as lithology patterns have been retained for visualisation purposes. It is envisaged that this Palaeogeographic dataset will become part of the AGCRC Australia's Geodynamic Framework project.

On behalf of Australia, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is leading search operations for missing Malaysian airlines flight MH370 in the Southern Indian Ocean. Geoscience Australia provided advice, expertise and support to the ATSB to facilitate bathymetric surveys, which were undertaken to provide a detailed map of the sea floor topography to aid navigation during the underwater search. Bathymetric data was acquired by multibeam sonar mounted on the hull of multiple vessels (GA survey reference: GA-4421, GA-4422 & GA-4430). Bathymetric surveys were conducted from June 2014 to February 2017, collecting over 710,000 square kilometres of data in the search area and along transit lines (to and from the search area). This dataset allows exploration of the seafloor topography through an optimal resolution compilation of tiles across the search and transit areas of the Southern Indian Ocean. The dataset is overlain on a hillshade created from the Optimal resolution bathymetry data. The hillshade was created with the parameters of point illumination azimuth at 45 degrees and altitude of 45 degrees.

Mapping of outcrop geology on Leonora SH5101 1:250 000 map sheet in the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia, undertaken 1987-92 by Duggan MB, Oversby BS, and Williams PR, and 1998-99 by Stewart AJ and Liu SF as part of the National Geoscience Agreement (NGA). Briefly, mapping consists of geological boundaries/units, faults, folds, veins, dykes, joints, linears, marker beds, trends, structural measurements, and mineral deposits.

The Vulcan Sub-Basin hydrocarbon shows analyses dataset contains: a) Depth based information regarding shows as exported from AGSO's RESFACS database, and b) Depth based information regarding lithology as exported from AGSO's PEDIN database.

This solid geology map combines information from aeromagnetic and gravity interpretation by the author at 1:100 000 scale with that from outcrop geology to provide a continuous representation of the distribution of Palaeoproterozoic and Archaean rocks. The Mapping of outcrop geology for Laverton 1:250 000 map Sheet (2nd Edition) was undertaken by Duggan MB, Williams PR, Jagodzinski EA, Rattenbury M, Champion DC, Currie KL, Blake DH, Stewart AJ, Bastrakova IV and J Martyn and Associates, largely as part of the National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA -1990 to 2000) Briefly, the data set and map present geological boundaries/units, faults, fractures, folds, veins, dykes, joints, marker beds, trends, structural measurements, and mineral deposits.

These data represent the January 2002 edition of the Magnetic Anomaly Grid of the Australian Region. This version is the first integrated onshore/offshore magnetic anomaly grid for the complete Australian margin extending across 8S - 52S, 106E - 172E. The grid cell size is 0.01 degree (approx. 1 km). Earlier releases were restricted to portions of NW and SW Australia. - Magnetic anomaly unit is nanoTesla (nT). Appropriate IGRFs have been removed. Horizontal datum is GDA94 (which is equivalent to WGS84). - The marine data were levelled independently of the onshore data in three sectors (see below). The NNW and SSW sectors were released as grids previously. The eastern sector was levelled in 2000 in collaboration with Intrepid Geophysics (Melbourne, Australia). The three levelled sectors, together with the unlevelled sectors were combined with the onshore grid to give the present grid. Altogether, 3,022,656 data points are in the database from which the marine grid was created. - Unlevelled sectors: (-8 -25 160 172), (-39 -52 156 172), (-46 -52 106 140) - Levelled sectors: (-37 -52 140 156), (-25 -39 143 172), (-8 -25 143 160), (-24 -46 106 140), (-8 -24 106 143) - There are several places at the join between onshore and offshore grids where the two grids do not match. The problem exists because the onshore grid was developed earlier, and there was poor control on the grid merging process at the margins. Future work will attempt to address this issue and improve the continuity between the onshore and offshore grids.

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.
