  • This web service delivers metadata for onshore active and passive seismic surveys conducted across the Australian continent by Geoscience Australia and its collaborative partners. For active seismic this metadata includes survey header data, line location and positional information, and the energy source type and parameters used to acquire the seismic line data. For passive seismic this metadata includes information about station name and location, start and end dates, operators and instruments. The metadata are maintained in Geoscience Australia's onshore active seismic and passive seismic database, which is being added to as new surveys are undertaken. Links to datasets, reports and other publications for the seismic surveys are provided in the metadata.

  • The report is the fourth in a series of multi-hazard case studies by the Geoscience Australia Cities Project. It is a summary report which considers tropical cyclone, including severe wind and storm tide at Gladstone. It also provides an overview of the risks posed by severe thunderstorms, floods, landslides, heatwaves, bushfires and earthquakes. Produced in conjunction with the Bureau of Meteorology and in cooperation with Queensland Department of Emergency Services, Gladstone City Council and Calliope Shire Council.

  • From 1995 to 2000 information from the federal and state governments was compiled for Comprehensive Regional Assessments (CRA), which formed the basis for Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) that identified areas for conservation to meet targets agreed by the Commonwealth Government with the United Nations. These 5 CDs were created as part of GA's contribution to the NE Victoria CRA. CD1 contains ArcView Legends and Projects, data coverages, shapefiles, final Exec. Summary and Minerals Technical Reports, and final figures and maps. CD2 contains final reports, metadata, model descriptions, and all associated maps and figures. CD3 contains Landsat, Magnetic and Radiometric images, AcrInfo grids, and unused ArcInfo AMLs and Graphic files that were intended for map creation. CD4 contains original data supplied by custodians, staff versions of data and projects, and various edited versions of covers and shapefiles. CD5 contains integration data used during Directions report analysis.

  • From 1995 to 2000 information from the federal and state governments was compiled for Comprehensive Regional Assessments (CRA), which formed the basis for Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) that identified areas for conservation to meet targets agreed by the Commonwealth Government with the United Nations. These 3 CDs were created as part of GA's contribution to the SW Western Australia CRA. CD1 contains final versions of all data coverages, images and shapefiles used in the project. CD2 contains the final CRA report, Executive Summary, and associated maps and figures in Arcinfo (.gra), postscript (.ps) and Web ready (.gif) formats. CD3 contains the final Minerals Assessment report and associated maps and figures in Arcinfo, postscript and Web ready formats.

  • Australian Earth Sciences Convention (Canberra July 2010) Abstract The bulk commodities viz iron ore, hydrocarbons, coal and aluminium are Sustaining the wealth of Australia, through their enormous export earnings, job creation and regional development. Why Australia is so blessed in these resources, and how they are being developed will be discussed.

  • Previously undated post Devonian sediments are shown by plant macro- and microfossils to be Early Cretaceous, and thus part of the Eromanga Basin. Modern landscape in the northern Barrier Ranges results from differential erosion following post-Early Cretaceous deformation that folded these and underlying rocks, most probably in response to reverse movements on faults at the western margin of the Bancannia Trough.

  • Working files for Australian regolith-landform maps at various scales, produced by research staff and students of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Evolution and Mineral Exploration and the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration. Files are in a variety of GIS (ArcView, Arc/Info, ArcGIS, MapInfo) and image (PDF, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, EPS, PRN, RTF, PSC, ERS, ALG, AI) formats

  • The Wiluna 1:250,000 regolith-landform map illustrates the distribution of regolith materials and the landforms on which they occur, described using the RTMAP scheme developed by Geoscience Australia, drawn over a ternary radiometric image.
