The cartographic collection of the Doc Fisher Geoscience Library consists of the maps and air photos created or acquired by agency staff since the formation of BMR in 1946. This includes maps produced by agencies which have merged with these over the years, such as AUSLIG. Maps held include: Australian geological map series (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and the 1 mile series); topographic maps produced by NATMAP and its predecessors (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and 1:50,000) - latest editions only; various Australian geochemical, geophysical and other thematic maps; geoscience map series from other countries acquired on an exchange basis, including some with accompanying explanatory notes; Non-series maps acquired by donation or exchange; atlases. The Air photos are predominantly those used for mapping Australia and, to a lesser extent, Papua New Guinea and Antarctica, by BMR/AGSO from the 1940s to the 1980s. Geographical coverage of the sets is not complete, but many individual photos are unique in that they have pin points, overlays or other markings made by teams in the field. The Papua New Guinea photographs in the collection may, in many cases, be the only existing copies. Flight diagrams are also held for many (but not all) sets of air photos. Some other related materials, such as montages of aerial photographs (orthophotos), are also represented in the collection.

This disc contains scanned PDF copies of uranium-related reports held by Geoscience Australia from the archives of the former Australian Atomic Energy Commission. These reports date from the early 1960s to 1980. The reports are a mix of exploration reports, geological and geographical maps, proposals, feasibility studies, estimations, reserve information, drill hole data and drill cross section files. These reports pertain to various regions around South Australia, including From Embayment, Mount Painter Province, Olary/Willyama province, Gawler Craton, Eucla Basin, Lake Eyre basin, Adelaide geosyncline and Peak & Denison Ranges. Two other discs with PDF scans of drillhole logs and gamma ray probe results in South Australia also exist and may be of interest.

This disc contains PDF scans of uranium-related reports held by GA from the Australian Atomic Energy Commission archives. These reports date mostly from the 70s, with some which are much older (as early as 1901) but none newer than the early 80s. The reports are a mix of exploration reports, geological and geographical maps, proposals, feasibility studies, estimations, reserve information, drill hole data and drill cross section files. These reports pertain to the South Alligator Valley, Katherine RIver and other uranium fields within Pine Creek region. It is one of four discs containing reports concerning uranium in the Northern Territory.

This disc contains scanned PDF copies of uranium-related documents held by Geoscience Australia from the archives of the former Australian Atomic Energy Commission. These reports date from the early 1970s. The documents consist of feasibility studies, drill logs and assays which pertain to the Beverley uranium deposit in South Australia. Two other discs with PDF scans of exploration in South Australia also exist and may be of interest.

These pages comprise the National Geoscience Datasets Internet Facility which delivers AGSO clients online access to AGSO's National scale spatial geoscience information. AGSO has responsibility for the production and online access to primary geoscience information of relevance to resource issues for industry, government and the general public, provided in the form of digital datasets that cover the Australian continent and/or Australian marine jurisdictional areas. This facility will provide efficient, modern digital-era access to all the geoscience information available in current maps and associated digital databases at the best possible resolution. To add to this as new geoscience datasets are released they will become available on the National Geoscience Datasets download page and be viewable within the National datasets online GIS web mapping tool.

Of the four samples submitted for palynological analysis from the open cut at the Great Greta Colliery, two yielded plant microfossil assemblages of Early Permian age. Both assemblages belong to the APP 32 palynozone of Price (1997). Key species include: Praecolpatites sinuosus, Phaselisporites cicatricosa, Bascanisporites undosus, Barakarites rotatus, Protohaploxypinus spp., Marsupipollenites triradiatus, and Granulatisporites trisinus. Deposition occurred in a non-marine environment, as indicated by the occurrence of algal remains of Botryococcus sp. and Peltacystia sp. An index species, Camptotriletes biornatus Balme & Hennelly 1956, first described from the Greta Coal Measures, was not found in these two assemblages. These assemblages are younger than those reported from the Greta Coal Measures intersected in Tangorin DM DDH2, as they contain the index of the immediately overlying zone, Praecolpatites sinuosus (Balme & Hennelly) Bharadwaj & Srivastava 1969. Foster (in Roberts et al. 1996, pp. 407-411) has summarised the distribution of the APP32 within the Greta Coal Measures
