This is an annual map edition that shows australia's nickel resources - March 2009 edition.

During the period 1984-1996, AGSO compiled and produced a series of Palaeogeographic atlases of Australia for the Phanerozoic Eon. The Atlases - Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Permian, Jurassic, and Cainozoic - contained maps which summarised the most important sedimentological data extracted from a wide variety of sources. Due to time and resource constraints four Periods (Devonian, Carboniferous, Triassic and Cretaceous) were not published, although data were compiled. Atlases consisted of a series of Data and Interpretation maps a Structure map, and supporting Stratigraphic Columns and text. Maps were compiled at a scale of 1:5 000 000 and digitally produced using MicroStation CAD software. The PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC ATLAS OF AUSTRALIA dataset has resulted from the conversion of the CAD atlas maps from all ten atlases into a format compatible with GIS applications. Important CAD elements such as lithology patterns have been retained for visualisation purposes. It is envisaged that this Palaeogeographic dataset will become part of the AGCRC Australia's Geodynamic Framework project.

One of three maps prepared for the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to the trial of the fishing vessel Viarsa 1. This map is for court proceedings and is not for public distribution.

Australia is not on the edge of a tectonic plate so why do we have earthquakes? The Indian-Australian plate is being pushed north and is colliding with the Eurasian, Philippine and Pacific plates. This causes stresses to build up in the interior of the plate which is released during earthquakes.

Displays the coverage of publicly available digital gamma-ray spectrometric data. The map legend is coloured according to the line spacing of the survey with broader line spacings (lower resolution surveys) displayed in shades of blue. Closer line spacings (higher resolution surveys are displayed in red, purple and coral.
