The depth to Proterozoic basement surface was constructed in order to delineate the thickness of Phanerozoic and more recent cover material. The "basement" refers to the Neoproterozoic and older rocks underlying the Canning Basin. The 3D surface was constructed using GoCad software and constrained by drill-hole data, Euler depth solutions and forward modelling using magnetic data, and interpreted depths from three seismic lines crossing the Waukalycarly Embayment. The depth to basement surface should be used as a guide. With the exception of the drill-hole data, there are uncertainties involved in estimating the depths based on the magnetic methods (Euler depth solutions and forward modelling), as well as the seismic data.

<div>This model is a volumetric representation of receiver function analysis based on common conversion point (CCP) profiles created every 50 km in North-South and East-West directions below the AusArray network (Gorbatov et al., 2020), combining them into one 3D image. The model bounds are: (-21.74, 132.52) - (-17.30, 141.46), geographic projection EPSG:28353. The model file is distributed in ASCII GoCad stratigraphic grid format (SGrid) where units are longitude (meters), latitude (meters), depth (meters) and value of receiver function amplitude.</div><div><br></div><div>Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.</div>

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of tsunami inundation from historical and potential submarine mass failures of the NSW coast based on the findings from the October 2006 Continental Slope Survey conducted by GA. The learnings from this study are intended for use by the Australian Tsunami Warning Project and NSW emergency managers.

The project modelled the tsunami inundation to selected sites in South East Tasmania based on a Mw 8.7 earthquake on the Puysegur Trench occurring at Mean Sea Level. As yet, there is no knowledge of the return period for this event. The project was done in collaboration with Tasmania State Emergency Services as part of a broader project that investigated tsunami history through palaeotsunami investigations. The intent was to build the capability of staff within Tasmania Government to undertake the modelling themselves. Formal modelling of the tsunami inundation occurred through national project funding.

It is with great interest that we read the paper by Mueller (2015) who proposes that the majority of small pockmarks with diameters less than about 10 m on the northwest shelf of Australia may be of biotic origin, created by the fish Epinephelus, the Grouper. This hypothesis is based on a spatial association between pockmarks and Epinephelus at a number of sites on the northwest shelf and elsewhere around Australia, and on recent work undertaken on the habitats and observed behaviours of grouper fish in the Gulf of Mexico who excavate sediment from pre-existing solution cavities (Coleman et al., 2010; Wall et al., 2011). However, we contend that critical details have not been taken into account as part of Mueller's (2015) hypothesis, and additional consideration of existing geologic, geomorphic, sedimentologic and geochemical information is required. To make the science more robust, here we present a more comprehensive overview of the information available.

This product is a rendered 3D model of one of the five ACT fossil emblem candidates, the trilobite Batocara mitchelli. The format of the file is ply. or Polygon File Format, and it is designed to store 3D data. The model requires no post-scanning manipulation as it is already complete. The purpose of this is to make this file format publicly available to local school communities so they can 3D print the fossil emblems themselves and engage students with Earth science related topics. <b>Acknowledgement:</b> Computed Tomography (CT) Scans and models generated at <a href="https://ctlab.anu.edu.au/">CTLab</a> - National Laboratory for X-Ray Micro Computed Tomography, Research School of Physics, The Australian National University (ANU), Canberra.
