The Surface Hydrology Points (Regional) dataset provides a set of related features classes to be used as the basis of the production of consistent hydrological information. This dataset contains a geometric representation of major hydrographic point elements - both natural and artificial. This dataset is the best available data supplied by Jurisdictions and aggregated by Geoscience Australia it is intended for defining hydrological features.

<div>The Abbot Point to Hydrographers Passage bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the RV Escape during the period 6 Oct 2020 – 16 Mar 2021. This was a contracted survey conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office by iXblue Pty Ltd as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. The survey area encompases a section of Two-Way Route from Abbot Point through Hydrographers Passage QLD. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM 2040, and processed using QPS QINSy. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area.</div><div>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.</div>

A reflection seismic survey was made in an area north and north-west of Roma, to find whether there are any domal structures associated with the known occurrences of oil and gas. The general quality of the reflections recorded was poor, and no evidence of an anticline or basement high was found at Hospital Hill or Block 1 6 where oil and gas have been previously found. No targets for drilling were found and further seismic work is not at present recommended.

<p>The Australian Stratigraphic Units Database (ASUD) is the national authority on stratigraphic names in Australia. It originated as the National Register of Stratigraphic Names in 1949. The register was originally set up to help geoscientists adhere to the then newly created Australian Code of Stratigraphic Nomenclature (Lenz, et al, 1996). All information was held in a card file system until 1979 when the database was first developed electronically. The database now records information on all Australian stratigraphic units and their usage in published literature. <p>The database contains about 17500 currently approved stratigraphic names and over 36000 variations, most of which are superseded, obsolete, or misspelt versions of the current names. This information is based on over 16000 published references. <p>The database is maintained by Geoscience Australia on behalf of the Australian Stratigraphy Commission, a standing committee of the Geological Society of Australia. <p>Procedures can be queried at: http://www.ga.gov.au/data-pubs/datastandards/stratigraphic-units? <p>Data can be queried and downloaded at the ASUD website at: https://asud.ga.gov.au/ <p>Email contact: stratnames@ga.gov.au

Middalya in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, during October 1955 by the Bureau of Mineral resources. The object of the survey was to assist in interpreting gravity results in the region. Prior to this survey the interpretation of the geology suggested that the deepest part of the Palaeozoic basin was in the Wandagee Hill area, but gravity results indicated that a basement ridge may exist in this same area. The seismic results indicate a sedimentary thickness of at least 17,000 ft between Wandagee Hill and Middalya and possibly 24,000 ft thickness to the east of Middalya. Although no useful information was obtained in the immediate vicinity of Wandagee Hill, extrapolation of results from farther east, suggests that the basement may be as shallow as 6000 ft just west of Wandagee Hill. This would confirm the interpretation of the gravity results at this location. The seismic cross-section shows that there may be a large elevation of the basement over a region about 20 miles west of Middalya between Shot-points 90 and 113. Although there is no direct evidence of this in the gravity results, it may be related to faulting, particularly a fault four miles east of Middalya that is indicated both by surface geology and by gravity results.

The Bureau of Mineral Resources conducted a seismic and gravity survey in the eastern Galilee Basin area from August to December 1976. Two traverses of the survey were recorded in the Clermont-Alpha area. Both traverses were recorded to investigate the relations between the Galilee, Drummond, and Adavale Basins in this area. Traverse 3 was recorded as a continuation of BMR 1971 Traverse A and extended this traverse to the outcrop of the Anakie Metamorphics. Traverse 4 was recorded to provide a tie between Jericho No. 1 well and the outcrop of the Drummond Basin Sediments on the Capricorn Highway. For the other two Galilee Basin surveys, please see L102 and L106. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74977

A seismic reflection traverse was surveyed across the Perth Basin through the township of Gingin. The traverse was planned to give information on the thickness of the sedimentary section, the structure of the Basin, and the aplicability of the seismic method as a tool for both regional and detailed investigation. The traverse was chosen to cross a major negative gravity anomaly (-110 milligals at Gingin) and to cross the so-called "Hill River Fault". A considerable thickness of section was indicated (in excess of 17,000 feet) and tectonic structure, not apparent in the surface geology, was shown. A deep-seated anticline, the Gingin anticline, was discovered.

Terrex Seismic was contracted by ANSIR to conduct seismic recording operations for Ballarat Goldfields NL to acquire approximately ten (10) kilometers of high resolution 2D data within the Ballarat region of Victoria. Recording commenced on the 8th May 2006 and was completed 3 days later on the 11th May 2006. The acquisition area of the Ballarat High-Res 2D was situated approximately eight (8) kilometers south of the township of Ballarat.

Trace Energy Services was contracted by the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the WA seismic 2004 survey in the eastern & northern Goldfields region of Western Australia. There were 148.59 km of 2D seismic reflection data recorded, 137.54 km over 29 traverses using Litton 315 Paystars and 11.05 km over 5 traverses using a single IVI Minivib as source. All lines were situated within the lease boundaries of gold mining companies, namely, Sons of Gwalia (Tarmoola & Gwalia) (L165), Placer Dome (Kanowna Belle, Wallaby, Granny Smith, Lancefield & Mt Morgans) (L166), Anglo Gold (Sunrise Dam) (L167) and Goldfields (St Ives at Kambalda) (L168).
