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.

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.

The Marla Line is a high density seismic line across a major crustal boundary in Central Australia. The line is approximately 230km in length with average station spacing of approximately 3.4km.

Extensive fieldwork projects are conducted across the country, organized in seismic arrays (i.e. groups of seismic stations). From May to October 1998 a set of broad-band instruments were deployed through the Kimberley region, Australia, crossing both the King Leopold and Halls Creek fold belts and the interior of the block including the remote northern region. The instruments deployed were placed to improve the coverage from the KIMBA97 deployment and SKIPPY experiment indicated. Instruments used were Guralp CMG-3ESP seismometers and Reftek recorders.

Eastern Indonesia is one of the least well understood geological domains of our planet, and yet the region provides a truly remarkable natural experiment for unraveling the complex dynamics of convergent tectonics. The recent, subduction-related collision of the Australian continental lithosphere with the active Banda arc effectively captures the initiation of convergence orogenesis and offers a rare glimpse into a process that has shaped Earth’s evolution over geologic time, as well as providing fresh insights into seismic hazards confronting the world’s fourth most populous country. A number of mysteries remain about the transition from subduction to arc-continental collision in the Banda arc, reflecting fundamental gaps in the general understanding of collisional tectonics.

The National Argon Map (NAM) is an AuScope Opportunity supported Project with ANU Argon team, an Oversight Committee, and the Australian Argon Laboratories Network: ANU, Melbourne University, University of Queensland and Curtin University. Having the argon laboratories working as a network has been key to AuScope. NAM is providing an opportunity for researchers, students, and industry to explore 40Ar/39Ar as a geochronometer. Allowing the scientific community the opportunity to be exposed to a wide variation of scientific scenarios that this geochronometer can provide. The information provided by NAM is extensive in the geological context, the sample characterisation and report. The map has been augmented by Geoscience Australia legacy datasets. Clicking on each icon on the map will provide you with links to the original proposal, sample information, citation information and a final report with 40Ar/39Ar data.

The Rosebery-Lyell 3D geological and geophysical model is an extension and refinement of previous MRT 3D models in the region. It expresses a new structural synthesis based on mapping and multiple cross sections produced by numerous geologists over several decades. It extends to a depth of 10 km within the area depicted at left. The model is constrained by 3D geophysical modelling using MRT's gravity and magnetic survey data coupled with drilling and rock physical property databases. This information has been used to derive uncertainty estimates for each element in the model volume. The model files also include nominal density and magnetic susceptibility estimates obtained for each voxel, thus incorporating intra-unit variations.
