L110 & L114 seismic reflection from the Lachlan Fold Belt near Canberra, Gundary Plains, NSW, 1978, 1980

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

A deep crustal seismic reflection survey, conducted at Gundary Plains near Canberra, to test a digital seismic recording system, produced additional data for interpretation of seismic refraction profiles in the Lachlan Fold Best. Good reflections were recorded down to the probable Moho, at an estimated depth of 41 km. The intracrustal reflections are characterised by bands of seismic energy, which probably represent velocity transition zones within the crust.
