NTGS Pine Creek Ground Gravity Survey

Abstract

The NTGS Pine Creek Ground Gravity Survey was funded through the Northern Territory Government's Resourcing the Territory program, and the project was managed by Geoscience Australia on behalf of the NTGS. The survey was carried out using a nominal 2 km square grid configuration with some lower density areas of 4 km x 4 km spacing. Industry contributed funding to the survey to increase resolution over selected areas to 1 km x 1 km and 500 m x 500 m spacing. The data package consists of 11,856 gravity stations as a point located dataset and grids of the newly acquired gravity data. The gravity survey spanned an area covering approximately 40,100 square kilometres and covered parts of the following 1:250 000 map sheets in the Northern Territory: FOG BAY, DARWIN, ALLIGATOR RIVER, CAPE SCOTT, PINE CREEK, MOUNT EVELYN, PORT KEATS, FERGUSSON RIVER, KATHERINE.
