Pseudocolour image of isostatic residual gravity with a histogram-equalised colour-stretch. Cooler colours indicate lower gravity values and warmer colours represent higher values. The image has been enhanced with a 3×3 sun filter with the sun illumination set at 45 degrees elevation and 90 degrees azimuth. Bouguer gravity compensates for variations in latitude, 'free-air' elevation and Bouguer correction (assuming a crustal density of 2.67 T/m³). The isostatic correction removes the effect of the thickness of Earth’s crust due to changes in topography.

An update was made to remedy location errors in the initial release. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Greyscale image of second vertical derivative (2VD) of total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole (TMI RTP). Darker tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values. Reduction to the pole filters magnetic anomalies to appear as if the Earth's magnetic field were locally vertical, as at the magnetic pole (assuming all magnetic sources are inductively magnetised). The 2VD filter shows the vertical rate of change in the first vertical derivative (1VD) of the Earth's total magnetic field and enhances boundaries and structural detail of shallow sources further than 1VD. The 2VD filter enhances magnetic textures in the image, however, it also amplifies non-geological noise. Variations in the magnetic field are caused by lithological factors, principally magnetite (and/or pyrrhotite) content. This Statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne magnetic surveys.

The semi-transparent isostatic residual gravity image is displayed using cooler colours (blue) to indicate lower gravity values and warmer colours (red) represent higher values. The underlying greyscale tilt-angle filtered total magnetic intensity image that has been reduced to the pole (Tilt TMI RTP). The tilt-angle filter of the total magnetic intensity produces a local positive maximum (white) over a magnetic source and is zero near the edge of the source (grey), and is useful for tracing geological structure below variable depths of cover. Both image layers were generated using a histogram-equalised colour-stretch.

This vector file contains the location of reprocessed surveys and their acquisition parameters. These reprocessed surveys are from airborne geophysical surveys that have been submitted to the NSW government by exploration and mining companies. They have been publicly released under the NSW Mining Act 1992.

Pseudocolour image of total magnetic intensity (TMI) with a histogram-equalised colour-stretch. Cooler colours indicate lower magnetic intensity values and warmer colours represent higher values. The intensity layer is the TMI greyscale image enhanced by a 3x3 sun filter with the sun illumination set at 45 degrees elevation and 90 degrees azimuth. Variations in the magnetic field are caused by lithological factors, principally magnetite (and/or pyrrhotite) content. This Statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne magnetic surveys.

Greyscale image of the first vertical derivative (1VD) of total magnetic intensity reduced to the pole (TMI RTP) which has been upward continued by 500m. Darker tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values. Reduction to the pole filters magnetic anomalies to appear as if the Earth's magnetic field were locally vertical, as at the magnetic pole (assuming all magnetic sources are inductively magnetised). Upward continuation artificially increases the elevation which removes the influence of high frequency signals caused by near surface geology. The 1VD filter shows the vertical rate of change in the Earth's total magnetic field and enhances boundaries and structural detail of shallow sources. Variations in the magnetic field are caused by lithological factors, principally magnetite (and/or pyrrhotite) content. This Statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne magnetic surveys.

Greyscale image of first vertical derivative (1VD) of isostatic residual gravity (Iso-grav). The 1VD filter shows the rate of change in the isostatic gravity data. Darker tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values.

Greyscale image of the tilt-angle filter (Tilt) of total magnetic intensity, reduced to the pole (TMI RTP). Darker tones indicate lower values and lighter tones represent higher values. Reduction to the pole filters magnetic anomalies to appear as if the Earth's magnetic field were locally vertical, as at the magnetic pole (assuming all magnetic sources are inductively magnetised). The Tilt filter produces a positive maximum over the centre of a magnetic source and is zero near the edge of the source, and is useful for tracing geological structure below variable depths of cover. Variations in the magnetic field are caused by lithological factors, principally magnetite (and/or pyrrhotite) content. This Statewide image was generated by merging many individual airborne magnetic surveys.
