This dataset contains species identifications of micro-benthic worms collected during survey SOL4934 (R.V. Solander, 27 August - 24 September, 2009). Animals were collected from the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf with a Smith-McIntyre grab. Specimens were lodged at Northern Territory Museum on the 1 February 2010. Species-level identifications were undertaken by Chris Glasby at the Northern Territory Museum and were delivered to Geoscience Australia on the 7 March 2011. See GA Record 2010/09 for further details on survey methods and specimen acquisition. Data is presented here exactly as delivered by the taxonomist, and Geoscience Australia is unable to verify the accuracy of the taxonomic identifications.

This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Southern Depths of the Great Barrier Reef survey using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 multibeam sonar systems. The Southern Great Barrier Reef Shelf Bathymetry survey (FK201122/GA4867); also known as Ice Age Geology of the Great Barrier Reef survey; was led by Queensland University of Technology aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel Falkor from the 22nd of November to the 21st of December 2020. The primary objective of the expedition was to explore ancient undersea features that formed during the last Ice Age, when sea level was around 125 m lower than it is today. While once an exposed part of the Australian coast, these shelf areas were submerged as Earth’s glaciers and ice sheets melted and sea level rose, flooding Australia’s continental shelf. Another objective was to find the southern extent of an older limestone platform that may represent the approximately 20 million-year-old base upon which the present Great Barrier Reef has grown. This V1 dataset contains two 64m resolution 32-bit floating point geotiff files of the Southern Great Barrier Reef Shelf Bathymetry survey area, derived from the processed EM302 and EM710 bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.

The coverage of this dataset is over the Taree region . The C3 LAS data set contains point data in LAS 1.2 format sourced from a LiDAR ( Light Detection and Ranging ) from an ALS50 ( Airborne Laser Scanner ) sensor . The processed data has been manually edited to achieve LPI classification level 3 whereby the ground class contains minimal non-ground points such as vegetation , water , bridges , temporary features , jetties etc . Purpose: To provide fit-for-purpose elevation data for use in applications related to coastal vulnerability assessment, natural resource management ( especially water and forests) , transportation and urban planning . Additional lineage information: This data has an accuracy of 0.3m ( 95 confidence ) horizontal with a minimum point density of one laser pulse per square metre. For more information on the data's accuracy, refer to the lineage provided in the data history .

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Carnarvon shelf (WA) in 2008 (SOL4769) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Research Vessel Solander. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and video transects were completed in three survey areas that extended seaward from Ningaloo Reef to the shelf edge, including: Mandu Creek (80 sq km); Point Cloates (281 sq km), and; Gnaraloo (321 sq km). Additional bathymetric mapping (but no sampling or video) was completed between Mandu creek and Point Cloates, covering 277 sq km and north of Mandu Creek, covering 79 sq km. Two oceanographic moorings were deployed in the Point Cloates survey area. The survey also mapped and sampled an area to the northeast of the Muiron Islands covering 52 sq km. cloates_3m is an ArcINFO grid of Point Cloates of Carnarvon Shelf survey area produced from the processed EM3002 bathymetry data using the CARIS HIPS and SIPS software

This data package comprises three data sets which cover the ST ARNAUD 1:250 000 map sheet area (ST ARNAUD). This area has recently been covered by airborne geophysical surveys by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and geologically mapped by the Geological Survey of Victoria and this data package intends to compliment these data.

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.
