    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library Information, analysis and advice for the Parliament RESEARCH PAPER www.aph.gov.au/library 1 April 2008, no. 25, 2007–08, ISSN 1834-9854 Australia’s natural gas: issues and trends Mike Roarty Science, Technology, Environment and Resources Section Executive summary • Australia has limited crude oil but is relatively well endowed with natural gas resources. The natural gas industry has shown remarkable growth—both the domestic and export sectors—over the last few decades and this is projected to continue. • The bulk of Australia’s gas resources are located long distances from the eastern Australian markets. These are offshore northwest Western Australia (Carnarvon and Browse basins) and in the Timor Sea to the north of Australia (Bonaparte Basin). Because of the uneven distribution of our gas resources it had been thought that gas would need to be piped from these fields when the closer smaller eastern fields run down prior to 2020. • The above scenario is now less likely with the development of newer gas fields in the Gippsland, Bass and Otway Basins located offshore in southern Victoria. Furthermore, there has been rapid development of coal seam gas reserves in Queensland and New South Wales with the potential to become a major source of gas for eastern Australia. • The natural gas export sector is presently supplied from the North West Shelf and Bayu- Undan, Darwin. Additional export volumes are expected from the North West Shelf in late 2008 and thereafter from a number of new ventures including Greater Gorgon, Pluto, Pilbara LNG, and Browse Gas all in Western Australia, and coal seam gas field developments in Queensland and New South Wales.

    The Geology of Australia Robert Henderson , David Johnson Frontmatter More Information

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-43241-3 — The Geology of Australia Robert Henderson , David Johnson Frontmatter More Information THE GEOLOGY OF AUSTRALIA Third edition The Geology of Australia documents the rich and spectacular heritage of the Australian continent over the last 4400 million years. Now in its third edition, The Geology of Australia provides an easy- to- read, comprehensive overview of Australia’s geology, landscapes and Earth resources. Beginning with the Precambrian rocks that hold clues to the origins of life and the development of an oxygenated atmosphere, it goes on to cover the warm seas, volcanism and episodes of mountain building that formed the eastern third of the Australian continent. This illuminating history details the breakup of the supercontinents Rodinia and Gondwana, the times of previous glaciations, the development of climates and landscapes in modern Australia, and the creation of the continental shelves and coastlines. This comprehensively revised third edition features: • two new chapters on geological time and Paleozoic orogenic rock systems and mountain building • new and updated illustrations and full- colour images • a description of the origin of the Australian continent and landscapes in simple language. From Uluru to the Great Dividing Range, from earthquakes to dinosaurs, from sapphires to the stars, The Geology of Australia explores the timeless forces that have shaped this continent. Robert Henderson is an Emeritus Professor at James Cook University. He joined the academic staff of James Cook University in 1969 following a post- doctoral post as a Fulbright Fellow at Harvard University, and served as President of the Geological Society of Australia from 1998 to 2000.

This problem of storing data about terrain, it allows to store problem can be formulated as the finding the regions only the data containing the terrain contours. In this paper contours in a two-dimensional image. we implement and research the algorithms which allow to vectorize the raster maps by the set of isoline slices using In this paper we propose the new algorithm for vector- irregular grid of heights. These algorithms approximate the izing three-dimensional raster map with regular grid for map with a set of elevation slices, recursively search for the case of an irregular height steps. nested isolines on the slice, build and optimize contours of the isolines on the slice.
