A comprehensive review of airborne gravimeter and airborne gravity gradiometer methods can be found in Geoscience Australia Record 2004/18.

The Record contains 16 extended abstracts from the "Airborne Gravity 2004 Workshop", held in Sydney on 15 August 2004 in conjunction with the 17th Geophysical Conference and Exhibition of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (ASEG).

In addition to discussion of current systems, Geoscience Australia Record 2004/18 also includes extended abstracts on airborne gravity systems under development, along with case histories on the use of these methods in minerals and petroleum applications.

The Record is available for free download or a printed copy can be purchased from our Sales Centre.

Up-to-date results from Geoscience Australia's minerals program will be presented at a one-day seminar in Perth on 29 November.

Scientists from Geoscience Australia will give presentations featuring:

• regional geology and prospectivity of the Yilgarn and Gawler Cratons and the Tanami region;
• Australian mineral systems, resources and potential, especially for gold and nickel;
• gravity mapping and 3D geology for exploration under cover; and
• the new Paterson Province and Proterozoic synthesis projects.

Minerals Division Chief, Dr Chris Pigram, will provide delegates with an opportunity to have input to the future direction of Minerals Division's program.
