Full description

The Australian Lithospheric Architecture Magnetotelluric Project (AusLAMP) is a collaborative national survey that acquires long-period magnetotelluric (MT) data on a half-degree geodetic grid spacing across Australia. This national scale survey aims to map the electrical conductivity/resistivity structures in the crust and upper mantle beneath the Australian continent, which provide additional information about lithospheric architecture and tectonic evolution, as well as valuable pre-competitive data for resource exploration and assessment of geomagnetic storm hazards.

An updated AusLAMP resistivity model for Queensland was produced as part of the Australian Government’s precompetitive geoscience initiative - Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity initiative. This resistivity model was an updated model from previous released model in 2023. The new model incorporated 37 additional sites acquired in 2024 through a collaboration between the Geological Survey of Queensland and Geoscience Australia. 

This release includes a preferred 3D resistivity model projected to GDA94 MGA Zone 54 and associated information for this project. The model is in SGrid format and geo-referenced TIFF format.

We acknowledge the traditional landowners, private landholders and national park authorities within the survey region, without whose cooperation these data could not have been collected.

Lineage

Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded
Statement:

The resistivity model was produced from 208 AusLAMP sites in Queensland. These sites were acquired as part of Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program between 2016 and 2024.

Notes

Purpose
The updated resistivity model provides insights into geological structure and tectonic evolution in this region. It can also aid in resource exploration and geomagnetic storm hazard analysis.
