This bibliography mainly contains reports of those major surveys used to construct the 1976 1:5 million gravity map of Australia. The bibliography is listed in alphabetical order, and the list is numbered consecutively. Figure 1 relates the reference number to the area covered by each report. Most reports give the survey method, logistic information, the gravity meter number and its calibration details, the datum of horizontal coordinates, vertical coordinates and gravity, the accuracy of the reduced position and gravity data, a Bouguer anomaly map, and a description and geological interpretation of this map. Also included are selected publications on the progress of gravity mapping, on the establishment and refinement of a national gravity reference network of base stations to define datum and scale, and of the use of the mapped gravity anomalies in the definition of geological structure and in geodetic studies. A comprehensive bibliography of gravity in Australia has been prepared, and it is planned to make this available shortly.
