Exploring for the Future is a four year $100.5 million initiative by the Australian Government conducted in partnership with state and Northern Territory government agencies and universities that aims to boost northern Australia's attractiveness as a destination for investment in resource exploration. The acquisition of deep crustal seismic reflection data in the Kidson Sub-basin (Canning Basin) between the Kiwirrkurra community and Marble Bar in northern Western Australia was a major EFTF deliverable, and was completed in August 2018. This paper presents the preliminary geological interpretation of the sedimentary succession imaged by the Kidson Sub basin seismic line.

This animation shows how Reflection Seismic Surveys Work. It is part of a series of Field Activity Technique Engagement Animations. The target audience are the communities that are impacted by our data acquisition activities. There is no sound or voice over. The 2D animation includes a simplified view of what reflection seismic survey equipment looks like, what the equipment measures and how the survey works.
