Current geological mapping by the Northern Territory Geological Survey is leading to a much better understanding of the surface geology of the Territory. Less well understood is the geometry of the Northern Territory in the third dimension, although this has been predicted by the construction of cross sections (e.g. on recent 1:250 000 geological maps). At shallow depths, the cross sections can be constrained by drilling results, if available, but deeper levels can only be examined by geophysical techniques such as seismic reflection or magnetotelluric profiling, or by modelling of potential field data. Text of paper presented at the NTGS AGES 2002 Workshop, Alice Springs, 26-27 March 2002.
