  • As part of the standard town capture and requirement for high-res imagery to assist with cadastral upgrade in the Wellington Shire, the opportunity was taken to survey Yeoval

  • This point data set was created to identify locations on (or near) the Australian coastline which were considered to represent significant changes in key environmental attributes of the coast as they pertain to sediment movement in the coastal zone. This data was created during and subsequent to the technical workshop hosted by Geoscience Australia in Canberra from 16-18 October 2012. This workshop brought together the team of Australian coastal science experts listed below. - Prof. Bruce Thom - University of Sydney and the Wentworth Group - Prof. Andy Short - University of Sydney - Prof. Colin Woodroffe - University of Wollongong - Dr. Ian Eliot - University of Western Australia - Mr. Chris Sharples - University of Tasmania - Dr. Brendan Brooke - Geoscience Australia - Dr. Scott Nichol - Geoscience Australia The technical workshop had the goal of creating regional (primary) and sub-regional (secondary) scale coastal sediment compartments - spatial zones (represented by polygons) within (or between) which sediment movement could be considered on scales and timeframes relevant to coastal management. The first step in this process involved the expert panel identifying and defining boundary points along the Australian coastline, after which the expert panel assigned relevant environmental attributes to each point. Following the development of the boundary points data set, breaklines representing the coast-perpendicular compartment boundaries were generated by extending a line from the defined offshore bathymetric contour to the defined onshore elevation contour. In every case a compartment breakline extends seaward and landward of its boundary point.

  • In May 2013, Geoscience Australia, in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science, undertook a marine survey of the Leveque Shelf (survey number SOL5754/GA0340), a sub-basin of the Browse Basin. This survey provides seabed and shallow geological information to support an assessment of the CO2 storage potential of the Browse sedimentary basin. The basin, located on the Northwest Shelf, Western Australia, was previously identified by the Carbon Storage Taskforce (2009) as potentially suitable for CO2 storage. The survey was undertaken under the Australian Government's National CO2 Infrastructure Plan (NCIP) to help identify sites suitable for the long term storage of CO2 within reasonable distances of major sources of CO2 emissions. The principal aim of the Leveque Shelf marine survey was to look for evidence of any past or current gas or fluid seepage at the seabed, and to determine whether these features are related to structures (e.g. faults) in the Leveque Shelf area that may extend to the seabed. The survey also mapped seabed habitats and biota to provide information on communities and biophysical features that may be associated with seepage. This research, combined with deeper geological studies undertaken concurrently, addresses key questions on the potential for containment of CO2 in the basin's proposed CO2 storage unit, i.e. the basal sedimentary section (Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous), and the regional integrity of the Heyward Formation (the seal unit overlying the main reservoir). The survey collected one hundred and eleven seabed sediment samples that were analysed for their grain size, textural composition and carbonate content. This dataset includes the results of grain size analysis measured by laser diffractometer.

  • This report presents the location and sources of sediment samples and observational data in the Vestfold Hills (between 68° 23' and 68° 40' S, 77° 50' and 78° 35' E) to provide physical and chemical properties, sedimentary processes, and glacial and marine history of the terrestrial environment. This compilation of samples and observations incorporates data collected from the 1970s to present from published and unpublished sources. Sample locations and types are presented here to make them more readily available for further analysis and interpretation. Samples and observations are presented as point locations and include sample type, analyses, and references to the original data source.
