After CO2 is injected into the saline aquifer, the formation water inside the porous media becomes more acidic. This will significantly affect the original chemical equilibrium underground, and induce or speed up various processes of dissolution and precipitation depending on the reservoir pressure and temperature. Early Cretaceous Gage Sandstone has been identified as a potential reservoir unit suitable for large-scale CO2 storage in the offshore southern Perth Basin. This study assesses the contribution of mineralisation trapping to CO2 storage capacity of Gage Sandstone through a comprehensive geochemical modelling. Analyses of mineral assemblage in reservoir rocks and properties of formation water were used to assess dissolutions of unstable components under acidic environment such as potassium-feldspar, plagioclase and carbonate, and the precipitation of calcite and kaolinite, which are considered the main water-rock interactions during the post-injection period. The chemical reaction was treated as a function of time. Three software packages have been used to run the geochemical reaction simulation to ascertain the practical capabilities of predicting the effects of CO2 injection underground and the storage potential of Gage Sandstone reservoir. Sensitivity analysis was carried out based on the uses of different equations of state, different methods for solubility modelling, different models of activity coefficient estimation, different time scale, and different assemblages of minerals in the Gage sandstone. The study allowed to constrain the effects of CO2 injection on reservoir porosity and permeability.

The International Geological Congress (IGC) represents a unique global meeting of geoscientists. Being selected to host the IGC is a strongly competitive process and the planning, organisation, administration and implementation of the congress require a significant national scale investment of resources. However, in focussing the attention of geoscientists from around the globe onto the host nation, the IGC also has the potential to produce extensive benefits at a range of scales; from the national scale, through to the organisational scale, and down to the personal level. The aim of the present study was to investigate the impacts of the 34th International Geological Congress from several different perspectives in an attempt to capture the impacts at these different scales.

This dataset reflects the external boundaries of all native title determination and compensation applications that are currently recognized and active within the Federal Court process. Applications that are non-active (i.e. withdrawn, dismissed, finalised, rejected or combined) are only included as aspatial records for completeness. This is a national dataset with data partitioned by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these for completeness. This dataset depicts the spatial definition of active Claimant and Non-claimant native title determination applications and compensation applications. Where possible these may include internal boundaries or areas excluded. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member where assigned to the application. Applications included on the Schedule of Native Title (Federal Court) include all registered and unregistered applications as well as determined applications that are yet to be finalized. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset attempts to reflect the boundaries of claimant applications for Native Title as per the Register of Native Title Claims (s185, Native Title Act; Commonwealth). This is a national dataset but data is stored by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these. This dataset depicts the spatial record of registered claimant applications. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member assigned to the application. Applicants of registered applications have the Right To Negotiate (RTN) with respect to certain types of Future Acts over the area being claimed. Whilst applications that are determined are recorded on a separate register, all registered applications remain on the Register of Native Title Claims until otherwise finalised. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset reflects the boundaries of those Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA) that have entered the notification process or have been registered and placed on the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements (s199A, Native Title Act; Commonwealth). This is a national dataset. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Name, Agreement Type, Proponent, Area and Registration Date. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold.
