This metadata relates to the ANUGA hydrodynamic modelling results for Busselton, south-west Western Australia. The results consist of inundation extent and peak momentum gridded spatial data for each of the ten modelling scenarios. The scenarios are based on Tropical Cyclone (TC) Alby that impacted Western Australia in 1978 and the combination of TC Alby with a track and time shift, sea-level rise and riverine flood scenarios. The inundation extent defines grid cells that were identified as wet within each of the modelling scenarios. The momentum results define the maximum momentum value recorded for each inundated grid cell within each modelling scenario. Refer to the professional opinion (Coastal inundation modelling for Busselton, Western Australia, under current and future climate) for details of the project.

Communities and their economic activity rely heavily on critical infrastructure. Utility infrastructure facilities are usually comprised of a range of interconnected components characterised by varying degrees of operational criticality and vulnerability to earthquake ground motion. The severity of damage to these components in an earthquake has complex implications for post-event functionality, repair cost and recovery timeframe of facilities. This paper describes how an integration of physical component vulnerability, associated component functionality and a system model of the facility have been used to understand the seismic vulnerability and mitigation opportunities associated with a thermal power station. System behaviour of the facility has been analysed using a network model to evaluate facility performance and to assess component criticality. An application has been developed that integrates these elements in a Monte Carlo simulation that enables the outcomes of a broad set of events to be assessed, and is used to develop facility level fragility models. Finally, the benefits of this approach to the process of assessment of vulnerability of legacy assets and identification of mitigation opportunities are demonstrated.

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of tsunami inundation from historical and potential submarine mass failures of the NSW coast based on the findings from the October 2006 Continental Slope Survey conducted by GA. The learnings from this study are intended for use by the Australian Tsunami Warning Project and NSW emergency managers.

This study brings together a wide range of datasets to provide a comprehensive assessment of the Pandurra Formation sedimentology and geochemistry in 3D. Sedimentology and geochemistry datasets generated this study are combined with pre-existing data to generate a 3D interpretation of the Pandurra Formation and improve understanding of how the Pandurra formation as we see it to today was deposited and subsequently post-depositionally mineralised.

X3D Model and Visualisation of the Hydrostratigraphic System in the Hodgson and Kings Creek Sub-Catchments

This release comprises the 3D geological model of the Yilgarn-Officer-Musgrave (YOM) region, Western Australia, as Gocad voxets and surfaces. The YOM 3D geological model was built to highlight the broad-scale crustal architecture of the region and extends down to 60 km depth.

<div>This model is a volumetric representation of receiver function analysis based on common conversion point (CCP) profiles created every 50 km in North-South and East-West directions below the AusArray network (Gorbatov et al., 2020), combining them into one 3D image. The model bounds are: (-21.74, 132.52) - (-17.30, 141.46), geographic projection EPSG:28353. The model file is distributed in ASCII GoCad stratigraphic grid format (SGrid) where units are longitude (meters), latitude (meters), depth (meters) and value of receiver function amplitude.</div><div><br></div><div>Geoscience Australia’s Exploring for the Future program provides precompetitive information to inform decision-making by government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. By gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge, we are building a national picture of Australia’s geology and resource potential. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia’s transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia’s regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.</div>

The aim of this document is to * outline the general process adopted by Geoscience Australia in modelling storm surge inundation for projects conducted in collaboration with Australian and State Government planning agencies * allow discoverability of all data used to generate the products for the collaborative projects as well as internal activities

<p>The footprint of a mineral system is potentially detectable at a variety of scales, from the ore deposit to the Earth’s crust and lithosphere. In order to map these systems, Geoscience Australia has undertaken a series of integrated studies to identify key regions of mineral potential using new data from the Exploring for the Future program together with legacy datasets. <p>The recently acquired long-period magnetotellurics (MT) data under the national-scale AusLAMP project mapped a lithospheric scale electrical conductivity anomaly to the east of Tennant Creek. This deep anomaly may represent a potential source region for mineral systems in the crust. In order to refine the geometry of this anomaly, high-resolution broadband and audio MT data were acquired at 131 stations in the East Tennant region and were released in Dec 2019 (http://dx.doi.org/10.26186/5df80d8615367). We have used these high-resolution MT data to produce a new 3D conductivity model to investigate crustal architecture and to link to mineral potential. The model revealed two prominent conductors in the resistive host, whose combined responses link to the deeper lithospheric-scale conductivity anomaly mapped in the broader AusLAMP model. The resistivity contrasts coincide with the major faults that have been interpreted from seismic reflection and potential field data. Most importantly, the conductive structures extend from the lower crust to near-surface, strongly suggesting that the major faults are deep penetrating structures that potentially act as pathways for transporting metalliferous fluids to the upper crust where they can form mineral deposits. Given the geological setting, these results suggest that the mineral prospectivity for iron oxide copper-gold deposits is enhanced in the vicinity of the major faults in the region. <p>This release package includes the 3D conductivity model produced using ModEM code in sGrid format and Geo-referenced depth slices in .tif format.

The project modelled the tsunami inundation to selected sites in South East Tasmania based on a Mw 8.7 earthquake on the Puysegur Trench occurring at Mean Sea Level. As yet, there is no knowledge of the return period for this event. The project was done in collaboration with Tasmania State Emergency Services as part of a broader project that investigated tsunami history through palaeotsunami investigations. The intent was to build the capability of staff within Tasmania Government to undertake the modelling themselves. Formal modelling of the tsunami inundation occurred through national project funding.
