Published estimates for heavy metal emissions from the copper-nickel industry on the Kola Peninsula are re-examined in the light of: a) Official emission figures for 1994, b) Modelled emissions based on dry and wet deposition estimates based on data from snow and rain samples collected in 1994 and c) Chemical data on the composition of the ores. The modelled emissions, official emission figures and chemical data are mutually compatible for Ni, Cu and Co and show that previously published figures underestimated the emissions of the major elements, Ni and Cu (though within the same order of magnitude) and overestimated the emissions of As, Pb, Sb and Zn by up to several orders of magnitude, in some cases exceeding the calculated total input to the plants. Published estimates have neglected information on the nature and chemistry of the ores processed in metallurgical industries in the Noril-sk area of Siberia and the Urals. Revised emission estimates for 1994, using knowledge of the chemistry of the ores, are proposed: taken with published information on total emissions up to 2000 these data give an indication of emission levels in more recent years.

This dataset contains species identifications of benthic worms collected during survey TAN0713 (R.V. Tangaroa, 7 Oct - 22 Nov 2007). Animals were collected from the Faust and Capel basins and Gifford Guyot with a boxcore, rock dredge, or epibenthic sled. Specimens were lodged at Museum of Victoria in June 2008. Species-level identifications were undertaken by Robin Wilson at the Museum of Victoria and were delivered to Geoscience Australia on 1 Aug 2008. See GA Record 2009/22 for further details on survey methods and specimen acquisition. Data is presented here exactly as delivered by the taxonomist, and Geoscience Australia is unable to verify the accuracy of the taxonomic identifications.

This workshop presented the results of the Mount Isa deep crustal seismic survey to mineral explorers and other interested geoscientists. The survey was carried out in 2006 across the Mount Isa Inlier and the Lawn Hill Platform in northwest Queensland as a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia, the Queensland Government (Geological Survey of Queensland), Zinifex Pty Ltd and the Predictive Mineral Discovery Cooperative Research Centre (pmd*CRC) using the facilities of ANSIR (the National Research Facility for Earth Sounding).

This presentation was delivered at the 30th NZ Geothermal Workshop in Taupo, New Zealand (10 - 13th November 2008). It summarises the key initiatives the Australian Government and State Governments have in place to support the growth of Australia's young geothermal industry.

DIGITAL NUMBER TO RADIANCE CALIBRATION CONSTANTS FOR ACRES LANDSAT MULTISPECTRAL SCANNER DATA

ALOS Product Format Description (PALSAR Level 1.0) This document describes a format description of PALSAR Level 1.0 data generated by ALOS Data Processing Subsystem. PALSAR Level 1.0 data is processed from PALSAR Level 0 data distributed by ALOS Central Information Subsystem. PALSAR Level 1.0 products are defined by scene ID and scene shift using orbit frame number.
