Data gathered in the field during the sample collection phase of the National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) has been used to compile the Preliminary Soil pH map of Australia. The map, which was completed in late 2009, offers a first-order estimate of where acid or alkaline soil conditions are likely to be expected. It provides fundamental datasets that can be used for mineral exploration and resource potential evaluation, environmental monitoring, landuse policy development, and geomedical studies into the health of humans, animals and plants.

Extensive benefits and tools can be gained for mineral explorers, land-users and government and university researchers using new spectral data and processing techniques. Improved methods were produced as part of a large multi-agency project focusing on the world-class Mt Isa mineral province in Australia. New approaches for ASTER calibration using high-resolution HyMap imagery through to testing for compensation for atmospheric residuals, lichen and other vegetation cover effects have been included in this study. . Specialised data processing software capable of calibrating and processing terabytes of multi-scene imagery and a new approach to delivery of products, were developed to improve non-specialist user interpretation and comparison with other datasets within a GIS. Developments in processing and detailed reporting of methodology, accuracies and applications can make spectral data a more functional and valuable tool for users of remote sensing data. A highly-calibrated approach to data processing, using PIMA ground samples to validate the HyMap, and then calibrating the ASTER data with the HyMap, allows products to have more detailed reliable accuracies and integration with other data, such as geophysical and regolith information in a GIS package, means new assessments and interpretations can be made in mapping and characterising materials at the surface. Previously undiscovered or masked surface expression of underlying materials, such as ore-deposits, can also be identified using these methods. Maps and products made for this project, covering some ~150 ASTER scenes and over 200 HyMap flight-lines, provide a ready-to-use tool that aids explorers in identifying and mapping unconsolidated regolith material and underlying bedrock and alteration mineralogy.

This disc contains PDF scans of uranium-related reports held by GA from the Australian Atomic Energy Commission archives. These reports date mostly from the 70s, with some which are much older (as early as 1901) but none newer than the early 80s. 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 the South Alligator Valley, Katherine RIver and other uranium fields within Pine Creek region. It is one of four discs containing reports concerning uranium in the Northern Territory.

The Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics (BMR) did a reconnaissance seismic survey in the central portion of the Bowen Basin in November, 1960. The objectives of the survey were to determine the structure of the Basin and the thickness of sediments by traversing from the western margin of the Basin near Anakie to the eastern margin east of Duaringa. Two other seismic surveys conducted in this Bowen Basin are Cooroorah Anticline seismic survey in 1959 (survey L037) and 254km seismic survey near the towns of Duaringa and Blackwater (survey L129).

Overview of the Deep Crustal Seismic surveys conducted by Geoscience Australia and funded through the Onshore Energy Security Program since it's commencement in 2006 to September 2009.

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 1970s to early 1980s. 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.
