The Arcturus greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring station began operation in July 2010 50 km southeast of Emerald, Queensland. The station was part of a collaborative project between Geoscience Australia (GA) and CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) to establish and operate a high precision atmospheric monitoring facility for measurement of baseline greenhouse gases in a geological carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) region. The primary purpose of the station was to establish newly developed greenhouse gas monitoring technology and demonstrate best practice for regional baseline atmospheric monitoring appropriate for geological storage of carbon dioxide. An Eddy Covariance flux tower was installed at the station to compliment baseline atmospheric measurements by providing; supplementary meteorlogical measurements, atmospheric turbulence and stability parameters, the net vertical transport of water vapour and CO2 to (and from) the surface, establishing the energy, water and carbon balance for the area. The site is located in a semi-arid, subtropical clime with a summer (Dec-Feb) wet season. The site lies on the boundary between pasture to the west, and cropping to the east, split north to south. EC measurements were taken at 10 Hz frequency and used to prepare 30 minute averages. Data was collected for 2.5 years from 10 June 2011 to 31 December 2013. It was processed using standard OzFlux methods, involving rigorous QA/QC to ensure the output of high quality data. For more information on the site location, installation and instrument set-up see the Installation Report for Arcturus (Berko et al., 2012), while for more information on the metadata and data store for the EC and baseline monitoring instruments see the Metadata Report: Arcturus atmospheric greenhouse gas monitoring (Etheridge et al. 2014).

The Oil Identification Reference Kit (OIRK) is a subset of the oils registered in Australia's National Oil-on-the-Sea Identification Database (NOSID). It's purpose is to provide laboratories engaged in oil fingerprinting with a series of well characterised reference oils and the materials, methods and reference data to support quantitative analysis of petroleum biomarkers. Biomarker methods are rapidly being incorporated in oil identification protocols as they offer several advantages over traditional methods. There is a lack of commercially available reference materials, especially those suitable for quantitative determination. The NOSID database and the OIRK are the products of collaboration between the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories (AGAL) and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).

In 2008, the Ord Irrigation Cooperative commissioned an airborne electromagnetics (AEM) survey of the ORIA Stage 1 and 2 areas to identify, quantify and understand any potential salinity risks in the current Ord irrigation area and the parts of the catchment that have been identified as potential future irrigation sites or potentially impacted by future irrigation. The project has been funded by the Australian and Western Australian governments through the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. Geoscience Australia and CSIRO were contracted to carry out the analysis and interpretation of the AEM dataset, and produce customised interpretation products. Some of the more specific questions it was hoped to address included: - Are we at risk of salinity in the Ord Catchment? - If so what areas are at the greatest risk? - Where can we target management to reduce this risk? - How can we plan future development to minimise salinity risk and maximise longevity of projects? The areas surveyed include the current Stage 1 Ord Irrigation Area, Stage 2 Irrigation Area (including Weaber and Knox Plains and Carlton Hill - Parry's Lagoon Conservation Area. The inclusion of undeveloped land in this survey is because the technology provides the opportunity to ensure any future irrigation development is guided by the best available information on soil type, aquifer quality and location and salinity risk. The information generated by this project will be publicly available and can be used for such things as: - Identifying leaky areas in the landscape that may require more concentrated management or can be designated for more suitable land use; - Where salt is stored in the landscape and at what depth, and where in the landscape it may influence plant growth; - Provide new constraints on the connectivity of aquifer systems in 3D across the ORIA and enable the construction of more realistic hydrogeological models to improve surface and groundwater management.

These data are one of a set of 13 that captures a consistent horizon and fault interpretation of approximately 35 000 km of regional, mostly deep, seismic reflection data recorded by AGSO along the north and northwestern continental margins of Australia between 1990 and 1994.

Australia's National Oil-on-the-Sea Identification Database (NOSID) contains organic geochemical data on a reference set of 30 oils that is used to characterised (or fingerprint) an oil. The data on these oils have been produced from a variety of analytical methods including isotope, UVF, GC and GC-MS (biomarker) analyses. The NOSID database and the Oil Identification Reference Kit are the products of collaboration between the Geoscience Australia (GA), the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories (AGAL) and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
