Toohey Forest in Brisbane is characterized by sclerophyllous forest and sandy uplift. Investigation of the Tingalpa Beds and Neranleigh Fernvale Group using GPS data and field observations reveals a complex stratigraphic sequence shaped by sediment deposition and tectonic activity. Interpretation of the data collected provides a comprehensive picture of the geological history and sedimentary processes in this region.
This study combines fieldwork, GPS data and laboratory interpretation to shed light on the geological differences and similarities between Fingal Head and Toohey Forest. The results contribute to a better understanding of the geological evolution and natural processes that have influenced these two important geological sites.
Standard Chemical Tests:
- Carbon-Carbon double bond – Alkenes
- Hydroxyl Group (Alcohols and Phenols)
- The Carbonyl Group – Carboxylic Acids
- The Carbonyl Group – Ketones
- The Carbonyl Group – Aldehydes
- The Carbonyl Group – Esters
- The Amino Group
- Amides
- The Nitro Group
- Ethers
- Molisch’s Test For Sugars
Chemical Unknown 1
4-Hydroxybiphenyl (p-phenylphenol) with molecular weight of 170.22 g/mol
2Fe3+ +3I- → 2Fe2+ + I3-
This project is mapping iron oxides in the western part of Wide Burnett region, Queensland, an area of 50x50 km centered around Gin Gin, governed by the Bundaberg City Council. Wide Burnett Region is well known for its fertile soils, but agriculture is mainly developed in its eastern part around the city of Bundaberg.
To extract the information about iron oxides related to mafic regolith, I used the following ratio: Red Band/Blue Band (B4/B2). To extract the information about ferric iron oxide, I used the ratio: NIR Band/Blue Band (B5/B2). To extract the information about high grade Iron ore (related to mafic saprolite), I used the ratio: (B4+B6)/B5. mapped the iron oxide areas with unsupervised and supervised classification. To validate the accuracy of this created map, I compared the extracted information with a WorldView2 image that I extracted from ArcGlobe, overlaid on the Landsat 8 image of the area of my interest. The usefulness of this project is to show that we can use Landsat imagery to assess the distribution of fertile soils anywhere on earth. This map can be used by the government to do better planning for agriculture and the urban development.
