Current geological surface mapping of the Officer Basin, W.A., by BMR has given an incomplete picture because the area is largely covered by flat-lying Permian fluvioglacials or lateritized Cretaceous rocks and the outcrops give no indication of the structure and composition of the sediments in most of the basin. The geological boundaries within the basin and at its margins are ill-defined, and the only reliable shallow subsurface information available from geophysical and well data is along the northern part of the basin near Warburton Mission. A seismic survey in the Officer BaSin, W.A., is planned to operate from mid-July to December 19720 The survey is to be conducted along a NE-SW line roughly following the road between Lake Throssell and Warburton Mission at the two margins of the basin. It will consist of a series of combined refraction and reflection probes located along the road. The operations will start with two probes near the centre of the basin, and the location of subsequent probes will depend on the progressive assessment of results. The results will be tied to those from the earlier seismic surveys in the northern part of the basin.

A deep crustal seismic reflection survey, conducted at Gundary Plains near Canberra, to test a digital seismic recording system, produced additional data for interpretation of seismic refraction profiles in the Lachlan Fold Best. Good reflections were recorded down to the probable Moho, at an estimated depth of 41 km. The intracrustal reflections are characterised by bands of seismic energy, which probably represent velocity transition zones within the crust.

Deep-seismic reflection data across the Eastern Goldfields Province, northeastern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia have provided information on the regions crustal architecture and on several of its highly mineralised regions. The 2001 Northeastern Yilgarn Deep Seismic Rflection Survey data has imaged several prominent crustal scaled features, including an eastward thickening of the crust across the northeastern Yilgarn Craton, the subdivision of the crust into three broad layers, the presence of a prominent east dip to the majority of the reflections and the interpretation of three east-dipping crustal-penetrating shear zones. These three east-dipping shear zones are major structures that subdivide the region into four terranes. Raw data for this survey are available on request from clientservices@ga.gov.au

A hybrid high-resolution seismic survey was undertaken adjacent to the Eurabba State Forest near Quandialla, Western NSW between June 29 and July 3 2003 acquiring both refraction and reflection data. The Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) carried out the field work in conjunction with University of Canberra and Dryland Salinity Hazard Mitigation Program (DSHMP) research staff and students. Processing of the acquired refraction information was performed with the assistance of ANSIR staff. This survey was designed to collect and compare a shallow, high-resolution seismic dataset against nearby regional scale seismic datasets and other complementary sources of spatial information including NanoTEM, drill hole data, satellite imagery and regolith-landform mapping. The multi-disciplinary approach is designed for imaging shallow sedimentary structures and determining depth to bedrock. The combined aim of utilizing the multidisciplinary approach is to understand shallow fluid flow within the Booberoi-Quandialla Transect area and how this relates to observed outbreaks of dryland salinity. These observations will aid in the development of a shallow fluid flow model for the Bland catchment, especially over the Booberoi- Quandialla Transect area.

The seismic reflection survey was undertaken by the Bureau of Mineral Resources on top of gravity and magnetic surveys in the Gippsland Lakes district, Victoria. The aim of the seismic survey is to convience the favourable structure to the accumulation of oil being present on the overlying Tertiary rocks. Two north-south traverses and one running east-west and crossing the other two were surveyed.

This report contains the results of a seismic survey on the Nerrima Dome, a major structure within the Fitzroy Basin and near its south-western boundary. The dome is situated near the Fitzroy River about 100 miles south-east of Derby in the West Kimberley district of Western Australia. The Nerrima Dome has been mapped at the surface in Permian sediments and is a complex structure. It was desired to determine if the dome existed at depth and, if not, the structure at depth, with a view to locating a site for a deep drilling test. The target beds for such a test are Devonian and/or Ordovician sediments over which the Permian sediments are believed to lie unconformably. Reflection methods were tried and proved unsuccessful and the survey was carried out using refraction methods. Although the structure underlying the dome has not been clearly shown, the refraction method has indicated that it is complex and does not conform with the domal structure at the surface. There appears to be a major unconformity at comparatively shallow depth (2000 ft). The deep structure (7000 ft) although apparently less complex than that immediately below the unconformity, also bears no obvious relation to structure at surface. The results so far obtained are reasonably conclusive in showing that no simple dome-like structure of large magnitude exists under the Nerrima Dome.
