Climate simulations used in the FireDST project. They include Case Study I, II and III, all these simulations were generated by BoM for this project.

This web-enabled system allows researchers to retrieve fluid inclusion data from anywhere in the world. The concept is to build a free and widely available web-based library of fluid properties for a range of geological fluids. The database is being developed as an "open" project, which intends to bring together researchers interested in the properties of geological fluids or fluid inclusions.

The processing, interpretation and mapping of slicks offshore of the South West Margins using ten ERS satellite radar scenes and four Radarsat scenes has been completed successfully. All slick interpretations have been attributed with a hydrocarbon likelihood Level ranging from Level 2 to Level 4 with Level 2 being the most likely. Given the absence of actual field data, no Level 1 slicks have been mapped (see Glossary of Slick and Other Interpretations, p3 below). For all the fourteen scenes interpreted and mapped, there is only one Level 2 slick. This significant slick is located on the western edge of scene ERS 2 WO 01907-01 Orbit 5883. No locations have been provided of the sources of mapped slicks. Although an approximate point source would normally be provided for Level 2 slicks, the only Level 2 slick mapped (as above) is not complete as it is on the edge of the image (and presumably would continue on to an adjacent image acquired at the same time if it were available) and given the depth to sea floor of between 2,500m to 3,000m, it is not possible to provide a point source. Likewise, while an approximate point source would normally be provided for Level 3 slicks, given the depth to sea floor in the locations of the two Level 3 slicks mapped (same scene as for the Level 2 slick) of between 2,500m to 5,500m, it is not possible to provide a point sources. As per normal, Level 4 slicks are not provided with a source point. Many of the Level 4 slicks are located along the coastline in or near to the surf break zone (some possibly adjacent to rocky outcrops) and as such are regarded as false slicks as they most likely relate to differences in sea surface conditions and not to the formation of hydrocarbons.

Induction conductivity data, commonly referred to as conductivity logs, were acquired from nineteen boreholes during September 2008 in support of the Paterson airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey, described in Roach (2010). The geophysical investigations were designed to deliver reliable, pre-competitive AEM data and scientific analysis of the energy resource potential of the Paterson region of Western Australia. The Paterson AEM survey was the first regional AEM survey conducted in the Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP) at Geoscience Australia (GA). The survey was flown by Fugro Airborne Surveys Pty. Ltd. (FAS), for Geoscience Australia, as a combined TEMPESTTM time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) and magnetic survey between the 10th of September 2007 and the 28th of October 2008. The Paterson AEM survey covers a total area of 49 000 km2 in the Paterson region of Western Australia. Induction conductivity log data were acquired from the boreholes across a number of widespread, different geological units within the Paterson AEM survey area. The conductivity logs were used to assist in generating reference models for geophysical inversions of the AEM data, as well as for assessing the results of the inversions as an independent dataset.

From 1995 to 2000 information from the federal and state governments was compiled for Comprehensive Regional Assessments (CRA), which formed the basis for Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) that identified areas for conservation to meet targets agreed by the Commonwealth Government with the United Nations. These 5 CDs were created as part of GA's contribution to the NE Victoria CRA. CD1 contains ArcView Legends and Projects, data coverages, shapefiles, final Exec. Summary and Minerals Technical Reports, and final figures and maps. CD2 contains final reports, metadata, model descriptions, and all associated maps and figures. CD3 contains Landsat, Magnetic and Radiometric images, AcrInfo grids, and unused ArcInfo AMLs and Graphic files that were intended for map creation. CD4 contains original data supplied by custodians, staff versions of data and projects, and various edited versions of covers and shapefiles. CD5 contains integration data used during Directions report analysis.

From 1995 to 2000 information from the federal and state governments was compiled for Comprehensive Regional Assessments (CRA), which formed the basis for Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) that identified areas for conservation to meet targets agreed by the Commonwealth Government with the United Nations. These 3 CDs were created as part of GA's contribution to the SW Western Australia CRA. CD1 contains final versions of all data coverages, images and shapefiles used in the project. CD2 contains the final CRA report, Executive Summary, and associated maps and figures in Arcinfo (.gra), postscript (.ps) and Web ready (.gif) formats. CD3 contains the final Minerals Assessment report and associated maps and figures in Arcinfo, postscript and Web ready formats.

Airborne Electromagnetic data are being acquired by Geoscience Australia in areas considered to have potential for uranium or thorium mineralisation under the Australian Government's Onshore Energy Security Program (OESP). The surveys have been managed and interpreted by Geoscience Australia's Airborne Electromagnetic Acquisition and Interpretation project. Three survey areas were recognised in the Pine Creek AEM survey area: Woolner Granite (TEMPEST), Rum Jungle (TEMPEST) and Kombolgie (VTEM). Industry paid for infill - all of this data has now been released to the public domain and is available at the GA website. In contrast to industry style deposit scale investigations, these surveys are designed to reveal new geological information at regional scale. The Pine Creek airborne electromagnetic data were acquired at line spacing's of between one and five kilometres, a total of 29 000 line km and covers an area of 73 000 km squared. The outcomes of the Pine Creek AEM survey include mapping of subsurface geological features that are associated with unconformity-related, sandstone-hosted and palaeovalley-hosted uranium mineralisation. The data are also capable of interpretation for other commodities including metals and potable water as well as for landscape evolution studies. The improved understanding of the regional geology resulting from the Pine Creek survey results will be of considerable benefit to mining and mineral exploration companies. This Data Package is for Archive to the internal area of the CDS and contains all data, grids, images, mxd, shape files, documentation, licenses, agreements, interpretations and scripts used to create the Pine Creek deliverables. At the projects completion (2012) all directories are required to be moved off the NAS. The reason to keep all the files is that more work is to be done on this data in the 2012-2015 period and these files may be needed in this future work.
