  • The Historical Bushfire Boundaries service represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons stemming from the early 1900's through to 2022 (excluding the Northern Territory). The burnt area data represents curated jurisdictional owned polygons of both bushfires and prescribed (planned) burns. To ensure the dataset adhered to the nationally approved and agreed data dictionary for fire history Geoscience Australia had to modify some of the attributes presented. The information provided within this service is reflective only of data supplied by participating authoritative agencies and may or may not represent all fire history within a state.

  • <div>The Abbot Point to Hydrographers Passage bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the RV Escape during the period 6 Oct 2020 – 16 Mar 2021. This was a contracted survey conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office by iXblue Pty Ltd as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. The survey area encompases a section of Two-Way Route from Abbot Point through Hydrographers Passage QLD. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM 2040, and processed using QPS QINSy. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area.</div><div>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.</div>

  • <div>The A1 poster incorporates 4 images of Australia taken from space by Earth observing satellites. The accompanying text briefly introduces sensors and the bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. The images include examples of both true and false colour and the diverse range of applications of satellite images such as tracking visible changes to the Earth’s surface like crop growth, bushfires, coastal changes and floods. Scientists, land and emergency managers use satellite images to analyse vegetation, surface water or human activities as well as evaluate natural&nbsp;hazards.</div>

  • This Record presents new Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro Probe (SHRIMP) U–Pb geochronological results from the Aileron Province that were obtained during the Northern Territory Geological Survey–Geoscience Australia (NTGS–GA) geochronology project under the National Collaboration Framework (NCF) agreement, in July 2020. Geoscience Australia’s contribution to this project forms part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) Program, which aims to better understand the mineral, energy, and groundwater resources of Northern Australia. <b>Bibliographic Reference:</b> Kositcin N, Beyer EE and Reno BL, 2021.

  • The Geoscience Australia catalogue uses a profile of certain controlled vocabularies (codelists) from the ISO19115-1 metadata standard. A profile includes extra terms that are used by Geoscience Australia that do not appear in the original standard. In this vocabulary, the catalogue metadata uses the MD_AssociatedResource entity to indicate associations or relationships between resource metadata records or business documentation. If these associations are used in a metadata record they will appear as an extra tab to the right of the "Technical" tab as an "Associations" tab. The vocabulary includes the ISO terms and the GA terms. This profile is described in the Geoscience Australia Community Metadata Profile of ISO 19115-1:2014.

  • This Record presents data collected in March 2021 as part of the ongoing Northern Territory Geological Survey–Geoscience Australia (NTGS–GA) SHRIMP geochronology project under the National Collaborative Framework (NCF) agreement and Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future Program. New U–Pb SHRIMP zircon geochronological results derived from two drillhole samples of igneous and meta-igneous material from basement to the Amadeus Basin in the Northern Territory are presented herein. <b>Bibliographic Reference:</b> Kositcin N, Verdel C and Edgoose CJ, 2022.

  • This Record presents new Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) U–Pb zircon results obtained under the auspices of the Geological Survey of Queensland–Geoscience Australia (GSQ–GA) National Collaboration Framework (NCF) geochronology project between July 2016 and June 2017. This Record presents results from six newly analysed samples, in support of ongoing regional mapping and geoscientific programs led by GSQ in the Georgetown, Coen and Cairns regions. Three magmatic samples were analysed from unnamed rhyolite dykes within the Georgetown region (Gilberton 1:250 000 sheet SE5416), two samples (one magmatic and one metasedimentary) from the Coen region(Coen SD5408), and one metasedimentary sample from the Cairns region (Innisfail SE5506). A summary of each sample is presented, each containing information on sample location and geological content, geochronology results, as well as a brief geochronological interpretation. <b>Bibliographic Reference:</b> Christopher J.
