Introduction

Deep seismic reflection profiling has been used for many years to provide images of the continental crust in the third dimension (depth) across parts of Australia. Prior to the 2005 Tanami deep seismic survey, a limited amount of deep seismic reflection profiling was conducted in central and northern Australia. A major survey in 1985 examined the geometry of the Amadeus Basin and Arunta Block (Goleby et al., 1988). Subsequent surveys examined the Officer Basin and southern Musgrave Province in 1993 (Korsch et al., 1998) and the southern McArthur Basin in 2002 (Rawlings et al., 2004). Here, we review aspects of these surveys and briefly examine the implications for the tectonics of the region.
