  • Data and results from the 2003 Gawler Craton seismic survey were released at Gawler Craton: State of Play 2004 and Seismic Workshop, held in Adelaide last August. The survey consisted of two nearly orthogonal lines centred on the giant Olympic Dam Fe oxide Cu-Au deposit; 02GA-OD1, a north-south line 193 km long and 02GA-OD2, an east-west cross line 57 km long.

  • The primary role of the Australian Geodetic Survey is to compute and provide the fundamental, national-scale reference frame. This activity serves the broader community by providing an accurate foundation for positioning, and consequently all spatial data, against which every position in Australia is measured. Having an accurate national-scale reference frame is of great importance to scientists, the private and public sectors, and the general public. To support this, the Australian Geodetic Survey provides; Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data products, metadata and solutions from the Australian Regional GNSS Network (ARGN) and other regional sites, Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) data from Geoscience Australia's two observatories and solutions from the global network and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data from the Australian array and solutions for the global tracking network. Geodetic measurements made in Australia are combined with data from across the globe to develop a strong International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) on which the Australian reference frame is based. The result is a stable, accurate foundation on which spatial datasets from throughout Australia can be combined. The work undertaken by the Australian Geodetic Survey supports a wide range of local, regional and national planning and developmental activities. This includes cadastral and engineering surveys, topographic mapping, mineral and petroleum exploration, hazard monitoring, and navigation, as well as global monitoring of the atmosphere, oceans and coastal zones. Products The Australian Geodetic Survey provides a number of products. AUSGeoid09 AUSGeoid09 is a three dimensional model used to convert ellipsoidal heights (as observed by GNSS) to AHD heights across Australia with a typical accuracy of ±0.030 metres. Until now, the capacity to accurately relate GNSS heights to Australia's vertical datum has been the missing link for positioning. AUSGeoid09 now allows GNSS users to compute an accurate AHD height in real time offering significant efficiency gains for industries such as mining, agriculture and construction. AUSPOS This easy to use online GPS processing service allows users to submit dual frequency GPS data and receive rapid turn-around Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA) and International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) coordinates. This is a leading-edge service that automatically computes accurate geodetic coordinates to international standard. Legally Traceable Coordinates The Australian Geodetic Survey is the nation's only legal metrology authority capable of providing legal traceability of position. This service ensures the legal traceability of GNSS derived positions back to Australia's recognised-value standard for Position in accordance with the National Measurement Act, 1960.

  • Geoscience Australia conducts applied research within the Australian Antarctic Territory and adjacent marine jurisdictions. This research supports Geoscience Australia's strategic objectives and the Australian Antarctic Science Strategic Plan, as well as providing quality advice to Government. Our research underpins development of appropriate environmental management strategies for a range of marine and terrestrial environments. Our work supports the Australian Government's national interests in the Antarctic and commitment to the Antarctic Treaty System.

  • Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineral systems occur globally and range in age from Archean to Mesozoic or younger. An assessment for IOCG mineral system potential has been undertaken in the southern Arunta Region, incorporating the southern Aileron and northern Warumpi provinces. The assessment has been undertaken in a GIS-based environment using a mineral systems approach. This approach recognises four key system components: (1) sources of metals and fluids, (2) fluid-flow drivers, (3) fluid-flow pathways and architecture, and (4) depositional sites and mechanisms. For each of these key system components, mappable criteria were developed as proxies for mineralising processes in order to identify potential IOCG mineral systems. The locations of known deposits and prospects were not used for generating the assessment of IOCG potential. However, they are used as a validation of the results. The assessment largely reproduces the locations of known IOCG-style mineralisation, and predicts additional potential in a number of other areas, many of which are obscured by recent sedimentary cover. An approximately east-west-trending belt of broad IOCG potential has been identified, along with local regions of high potential where favourable criteria occur.
