This service represents a combination of two data products, the DEM_SRTM_1Second dataset and the Australian_Bathymetry_Topography dataset. This service was created to support the CO2SAP (Co2 Storage application) Project to create a transect elevation graph within the application. This data is not available as a dataset for download as a Geoscience Australia product. The DEM_SRTM_1Second service represents the National Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 Second product derived from the National DEM SRTM 1 Second. The DEM represents ground surface topography, with vegetation features removed using an automatic process supported by several vegetation maps. eCat record 72759. The Australian_Bathymetry_Topography service describes the bathymetry dataset of the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond. Bathymetry data was compiled by Geoscience Australia from multibeam and single beam data (derived from multiple sources), Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) Laser Airborne Depth Sounding (LADS) data, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) fairsheets, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) bathymetric model, the 2 arc minute ETOPO (Smith and Sandwell, 1997) and 1 arc minute ETOPO satellite derived bathymetry (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Topographic data (onshore data) is based on the revised Australian 0.0025dd topography grid (Geoscience Australia, 2008), the 0.0025dd New Zealand topography grid (Geographx, 2008) and the 90m SRTM DEM (Jarvis et al, 2008). eCat record 67703. IMPORTANT INFORMATION For data within this service that lays out of the Australian boundary the following needs to be considered. This grid is not suitable for use as an aid to navigation, or to replace any products produced by the Australian Hydrographic Service. Geoscience Australia produces the 0.0025dd bathymetric grid of Australia specifically to provide regional and local broad scale context for scientific and industry projects, and public education. The 0.0025dd grid size is, in many regions of this grid, far in excess of the optimal grid size for some of the input data used. On parts of the continental shelf it may be possible to produce grids at higher resolution, especially where LADS or multibeam surveys exist. However these surveys typically only cover small areas and hence do not warrant the production of a regional scale grid at less than 0.0025dd. There are a number of bathymetric datasets that have not been included in this grid for various reasons.

Exploring for the Future (EFTF) is a four-year geoscience data and information collection programme that aims to better understand on a regional scale the potential mineral, energy and groundwater resources that are concealed under cover in northern Australia and parts of South Australia. This factsheet explains one of a range of activities being undertaken to collect these data and information.

This forum showcased the range of pre-competitive geoscience projects currently underway by Geoscience Australia and its collaborative partners under the UNCOVER themes with an emphasis on new projects arising out of the Australian Government’s four year $100M Exploring for the Future program which commenced in late 2016. The themes covered are: Cover and what lies beneath, character and thickness; 3D architecture, mapping the framework for mineral systems; 4D geodynamics and mineral systems of Australia; and, Mineral system footprints and toolkits for explorers

The data covers an area of approximately 8500 sq km in the Darling river catchment area, located between Bourke, NSW and Wilcannia, NSW. A set of seamless products were produced including hydro-flattened bare earth DEMs, DSMs, Canopy Height Models (CHM) and Foliage Cover Models (FCM). The outputs of the project are compliant with National ICSM LiDAR Product Specifications and the NEDF.

The 2016 Lawn Hill VTEM™Plus airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was funded under the Queensland Government’s Future Resources (Mount Isa Geophysics) Initiative and managed by Geoscience Australia on behalf of the Geological Survey of Queensland. The survey covers an area of 3215 km2 which aims to attract explorers into ‘greenfield’ terranes and contribute to the discovery of the next generation of major mineral and energy deposits under shallow sedimentary cover. The survey is an extension to the 2016 East Isa VTEM™Plus Survey (eCAT:104700)

The AGSO Yearbooks retained the format of the BMR Yearbooks, the title change merely following the renaming of the Bureau to the Australian Geological Survey Organisation in 1992. The series ended in 1994, when AGSO became part of the Department of Primary Industries and Energy and information on its activities was incorporated into DPIE Annual Reports.
