  • AusPass is a service dedicated to the acquisition, management, and distribution of passive seismological data in Australia. Extensive fieldwork projects are conducted across the country, organized in seismic arrays (i.e. groups of seismic stations). From July to October 1997 a set of broadband instruments were deployed in the Kimberley region, Australia, both on the King Leopold and Halls creek fold belt and the interior of the block. Station placements were designed to build on the information obtained from the stations in the SKIPPY experiment to improve knowledge of the region. Instruments used are Guralp CMG-3ESP and Reftek recorders.

    Mineral occurrences of Northern Territory of Australia provided by Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) using the EarthResourceML Lite 1.0 data standard for mineral occurrences.

  • AusPass is a service dedicated to the acquisition, management, and distribution of passive seismological data in Australia. Extensive fieldwork projects are conducted across the country, organized in seismic arrays (i.e. groups of seismic stations). Australian Seismometers in Schools is a dual purpose seismic network. The program offers both education outreach and provides quality data for monitoring and research. We use Guralp CMG-6TD seismometers and stream data live data to the schools and Geoscience Australia as well as providing the data to IRIS and the Australian AusPass data server. AuSIS infrastructure is supported by AuScope Geophysical Observatory program.

    Ratio of U over Th derived from the filtered U and Th grids. The Radiometric Map of Australia dataset comprises grids of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th) element concentrations, and derivatives of these grids. This third edition was derived by seamlessly merging 45 new survey grids with the Second Edition Radiometric Map of Australia (Minty et al., 2010). Details of the specifications of individual airborne surveys can be found in the 2014 Edition of the Index of Airborne Geophysical Surveys (Percival, 2014). Matching of the grids in the database was achieved using a program called Gridmerge, originally developed within Geoscience Australia and has now been commercialised. This program was used to merge 45 new surveys to the Second Edition Radiometric Map of Australia. The second edition merged over 550 individual grids to create the compilation (Minty et al., 2009), and the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne radiometric data was used to control the base levels of those survey grids which overlapped the AWAGS data (Milligan et al., 2009). As the second edition was used as a base grid for the Gridmerge operation the new Third Edition is essentially levelled to AWAGS. Filtering: Potassium, uranium, thorium and dose rate grids are available in both filtered and unfiltered versions. The low-pass filtering was achieved by applying a 7-point, degree-3 Savitzky-Golay filter (Savitzky and Golay, 1964) to each of the original survey grids prior to grid merging.

    Terrestrial dose rate derived as a linear combination of the filtered K, U and Th grids described above (see Minty et al., 2009). Unit of measure = nG/h.

    Hue-Saturation-Intensity (HSI) colour image of the national Gravity Anomaly grid, 2010. This image is made from a grid that represents gravity anomalies of the Australian region. The grid combines accurate onshore gravity measurements, with satellite data over the offshore region. The cell values represent simple Bouguer anomalies at a density of 2.67 tonnes per cubic metre onshore and free-air anomalies offshore. The grid cell size is 0.5 minutes of arc, which is equivalent to about 800 metres.
