Seismic reflection traverses were surveyed across the Perth Basin at Cookernup, W.A. These traverses were planned to find the thickness and dip of the Basin sediments adjacent to the Darling Scarp and to discover any faulting or folding within them; also to determine the applicability of the seismic method as a tool for both regional and detailed investigation in this area. Seismic refraction traverses were surveyed to help in the solution of problems encountered in the interpretation of the reflection cross-sections. The survey indicated a considerable thickness of sediments about 20,000 ft, at the eastern margin of the Basin near the Darling Scarp, and suggested tectonic structure that is not indicated in surface geology, The reflection traverses indicated that sediments (presumably Lower Palaeozoic or Precambrian) lying deep in the Perth Basin may continue underneath the Darling Scarp and abut the granitic gneisses etc. of the Western Australian Shield on an overthrust fault plane. The overthrust fault, if it exists, does not reach the surface, but is covered to a depth of possibly some few hundred feet by younger sediments and also by alluvium eroded from the Darling Scarp. Some reflection and refraction shooting was done in an attempt to test this and other hypotheses, but the results crc inconclusive. Gravity results strongly suggest a normal fault, and if normal faulting is the case, the reflections from beneath the outcropping basement are possibly derived from shear zones, Some probable 'reflected refractions' were also observed. There is scope for further seismic testing but it is considered that conclusive evidence could only be provided by drilling.

<p>Geoscience Australia conducted a deep reflection seismic profiling survey in the onshore portion of the Otway Basin in the southeastern part of South Australia and southwestern part of Victoria, form February to June 1992. The seismic survey formed part of a National Geoscience Mapping Accord (NGMA) project to study the early development of the Otway Basin. The objective of the seismic survey was to acquire a new deep reflection seismic data using explosive seismic energy sources to improve on the knowledge of early sedimentary sequences in the Otway Basin, especially at depths greater than 3 km. The seismic survey obtained 461 km of 5 to 10 fold Common-Middle-Point (CMP) deep reflection seismic data.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74947</b>

<p>Geoscience Australia conducted a seismic, gravity and aeromagnetic survey in Central Australia, Northern Territory from July to November, 1985. The objectives of this multidisclipinary experiment were to investigate the structural evolution of the lithosphere in the Central Australian region with emphasis on the formation of the Ngalia and Amadeus Basins, and secondly to aid in the evaluation of the petroleum prospectivity of the basins. 486 km of six-twelve fold common mid-point (CMP) seismic reflection data were collected, from four traverses.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74968</b>

Trace Energy Services was contracted by the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the WA seismic 2004 survey in the eastern & northern Goldfields region of Western Australia. There were 148.59 km of 2D seismic reflection data recorded, 137.54 km over 29 traverses using Litton 315 Paystars and 11.05 km over 5 traverses using a single IVI Minivib as source. All lines were situated within the lease boundaries of gold mining companies, namely, Sons of Gwalia (Tarmoola & Gwalia) (L165), Placer Dome (Kanowna Belle, Wallaby, Granny Smith, Lancefield & Mt Morgans) (L166), Anglo Gold (Sunrise Dam) (L167) and Goldfields (St Ives at Kambalda) (L168), <b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74865</b>

<p>The Gunnedah Basin and Cobar Basin Seismic Test Survey was conducted by Geoscience Australia during the early part of 1989. The objective of the survey was to test the suitability of the seismic reflection technique for proposed regional deep reflection seismic lines in the Gunnedah Basin and Cobar Basin. The major emphasis of the test survey was to assess the feasibility of acquiring shallow and deep seismic reflections in order to examine various geological models of bounding faults and basin structure.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 75828</b>

<p>This investigation was a joint project between the Department of Geology, University of Melbourne, the Department of Earth Sciences, Monash University, and Geoscience Australia to investigate the suitability of the seismic reflection technique for determining the crustal structure within central Victoria. The project was initiated as a pilot study for a proposed 400 km deep crustal transect across Victoria in 1991-92. Funding for the project was provided jointly by the Victorian Department of Industry, Technology and Resources (ITR) and the BMR. Data acquisition was carried out during the university vacation period from the 17th to 24th June 1989 to enable participation of university staff and students. Two traverses were completed, the first 6 km long (line 89-09), and the second 8 km long (line 89-10), each being up to twelve fold common mid-point (CMP). The traverses were located on the downdip side of the Mt. Ida - McIvor fault approximately 40 km north of Heathcote. Traverse orientation was east-west and perpendicular to regional strike, and was constrained by the requirement to use existing roads and tracks in the area.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74955</b>

Terrex Seismic was contracted by the Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the Department of Minerals and Resources (DMR NSW) Darling Basin 2004 Seismic Survey in New South Wales. Recording commenced on the 15th June 2004 on line DMR04-1 and was completed by the 1st July 2004. The survey operation covered areas north-east and north-west of Ivanhoe, and north of Wilcannia. Three 2D seismic lines, totalling 133.86 kilometres, were surveyed at a 30m station interval. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

<p>This is a Joint Research Project of a seismic test survey using dynamite as a seismic source in the Gippsland Basin between South Australian Gas Company (SAGASCO) and Geoscience Australia. This survey wad conducted by using the GA Sercel SN368 seismic 120 channel data acquisition system, two drilling rigs and seismic crew. The primary objective of the seismic test survey was to test whether by using dynamite as the seismic energy source, seismic reflection events could be recorded from geological horizons below the base of the Latrobe Valley Group. Processing of the seismic data revealed that using explosives as a seismic source also had difficulty in resolving seismic reflection events below the Labtrobe Valley Group sediments. In places multiple reflection events due to the coal beds within the Latrobe Valley Group are intermixed with primary reflections making interpretation of deeper reflection events difficult or impossible. However long offsets recordings highlighted a significant first break refraction event at far offset distances, which from preliminary interpretations is related to the base of the Latrobe Valley Group or top of Strzelecki Group. To resolve the thickness of Strzelecki Group sediments, the recording of first break refraction events using long offset walkaway spreads (offsets in the 6 to 8 km range) maybe a technique to test in future seismic surveys.<p><b>Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au - Quote eCat# 74946</b>

Trace Energy Services was contracted by The Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) to conduct the 2003 Gawler Seismic Survey. The survey was situated in the Roxby Downs area in South Australia. Two lines were recorded in this area over seventeen days with a total of 250.8 km recorded.
