Australia, 04 May 2007: New gravity data from surveys in Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia have recently (April 2007) been incorporated into the Australian National Gravity Database.
Data from the gravity survey in the Mt Isa Area C have been added into the Australian National Gravity Database. A total of 9,047 stations were acquired at a station spacing of 2.0 km x 2.0 km on the Duchess and Urandangi (eastern half) 1:250 000 sheet areas and at 4.0 km x 4.0 km spacing on the Urandangi (western half), Glenormiston and Mt Whelan 1:250 000 sheet areas. This survey was funded by the Geological Survey of Queensland under its Smart Exploration Initiative and project managed by Geoscience Australia.
The Murchison gravity survey covering parts of the Belele, Cue, Glengarry and Sandstone 1:250 000 sheet areas in Western Australia has now been completed. The release of final data for the 3,555 new stations is anticipated to be mid to late May 2007. The survey was funded by the Geological Survey of Western Australia and project managed by Geoscience Australia.
The Department of Primary Industries and Resources, South Australia has provided Geoscience Australia with company data that are now open file. Approximately 16,000 stations have now been added to the Australian National Gravity Database.
All data in the Australian National Gravity Database can be obtained free-of-charge using the Geophysical Archive Data Delivery System “GADDS”. For more information visit https://www.geoscience.gov.au
