GSWA Eucla Basin 6 Elevation Grid Geodetic

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point- or line-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This GSWA Eucla Basin 6 Elevation Grid Geodetic is elevation data for the Eucla Coast, WA, 2009 (Eucla Basin 6). This survey was acquired under the project No. 1213 for the geological survey of WA. The grid has a cell size of 0.00042 degrees (approximately 43m).  This grid contains the ground elevation relative to the geoid for the Eucla Coast, WA, 2009 (Eucla Basin 6). It represents the vertical distance from a location on the Earth's surface to the geoid. The data are given in units of meters. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

Origin of the Naturaliste Plateau

Lying off the south-west coast of Australia some 2,500 m below sea level is the broad, rectangular Naturaliste Plateau, which forms a relatively flat ledge half way between sea level and the abyssal plain. How the plateau came to be in this position, and whether its origin is continental or oceanic, are two questions relevant to the evolution of the south-east Indian Ocean.

Renmark SA Hydrogeological map of the Murray Basin series 1:250 000

The objectives of hydrogeologically mapping the Murray basin were to generate a set of maps at 1:250 000 scale to: 

show the influence of groundwater on land salinisation and surface water salinity 
delineate useable groundwater resources 
highlight present and potential salinity hazard and 
enhance community awareness and understanding of groundwater systems and processes 

and provide a groundwater data-base for the Murray Basin to facilitate land and water resource management decisions. 
The production of the Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series was a major coordinated Government action in the management of groundwater to combat degradation through salinisation and enable sustainable land and water use in the Murray Basin.  The Hydrogeological Map Series was a collaborative effort between the various water authorities of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. 
Explaining this product in detail is an article by Evans, W.R. 1992, The Murray Basin Hydrogeological Map Series, Water pp. 20-23.

Processed multibeam backscatter data of Jervis Bay

Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments (for textural and biogeochemical analysis) and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Research Vessel Kimbla. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and tide/wave measurement were concentrated in a 3x5 km survey grid (named Darling Road Grid, DRG) within the southern part of the Jervis Bay, incorporating the bay entrance. Additional sampling and stills photography plus bathymetric mapping along transits was undertaken at representative habitat types outside the DRG.
The "kimbla" folder contains processed multibeam backscatter data of Jarvis Bay. The SIMRAD EM3002 and EM3002D multibeam backscatter data were processed using the CMST-GA MB Process, a multibeam processing toolbox codeveloped by Geoscience Australia and Curtin University of Technology.

Red River Qld preliminary geology digital data 1:250 000:- Map 250 - Geological

These data are a digital representation of information depicted on the printed map of the Red River 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by AGSO and the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) in 1976 (1st edition).
Data present include geological polygons (litho-stratigraphic units), linear structural features (faults, dykes, folds, trends, lineaments etc), and point features (mines, structural points etc). Polygons have a range of attributes extracted from each individual map including unit name, age and lithological description, while lines and points are feature coded according to the AGSO publication 'Symbols Used On Geological Maps' (BMR 1989). A standard look-up table of AGSO geological codes and associated descriptions is available (see ADDITIONAL METADATA).
The data has gradually evolved from elementary CAD quality data into its present topologically structured GIS format, and hence has many imperfections and inconsistencies. Data has undergone rigorous validation and testing that includes over 80 different tests. See ADDITIONAL METADATA for more information on the data standards used.

Sandstone Gravity Survey (P201063), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Sandstone Gravity Survey (P201063) contains a total of 5760 point data values acquired at a spacing of 2500 metres. The data is located in WA and were acquired in 2010, under project No. 201063 for Department of Industry and Resources (Western Australia).

AUSGeoid98 v.1.0 data files:  (sj51-11)

AUSGeoid98 data files contain a 2 minute grid of AUSGeoid98 data covering the Australian region, which you can use to interpolate geoid-ellipsoid separations for the positions required.You can use your own interpolation software, or you can use Geoscience Australia's Windows Interpolation software (Winter). The data files are text files in a standard format that cover the same area as standard topographic map areas. Files covering both 1:250,000 (approximately 100 x 150 km) and 1:1,000,000 (approximately 400 x 600 km) map areas are available. There is a 4 minute overlap on all sides of each area. Data format: AUSGeoid98 data files have a header record at the start of each file, to distinguish them from the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files. AUSGeoid98 data files show the geoid-ellipsoid separation to 3 decimal places, while the superseded AUSGeoid93 data files showed only 2 decimal places. AUSGeoid98 deflections of the vertical were computed from the geoid-ellipsoid separation surface, while the AUSGeoid93 deflections of the vertical were computed from OSU91A.

Great Artesian Basin - Westbourne Aquitard -  Thickness and Extent

The Adori-Springbok Aquifer - Thickness and Extent data set, is one of a set that represents the hydrostratigraphic units of the Great Artesian Basin, which include five major aquifers, four intervening aquitards, and the Cenozoic cover to the GAB.
There are five layers in the Adori-Springbok Aquifer map data.
A: Formation Extent
B: Outcrop extent
C: Isopach Raster
D: Isopach Contours
E: Data Point Locations
The datasets have been derived from the lithostratigraphic intercepts in drillhole data from petroleum exploration wells, water bores, and stratigraphic wells. Seismic correlation and assessment of hydrogeological character based on electrofacies have not been used. The working datasest for this study has been derived primarily from the following databases:

PEPS-SA (Petroleum Exploration and Production System - South Australia) (Department of Primary Industries and Regions SA, 2011)
WaterConnect Groundwater database (Govt. of SA, 2011)
QPED (Queensland Petroleum exploration database) (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2010).
GABLOG (Great Artesian Basin Well Log Dataset) (Habermehl, 2001)
Additional supplementary information was derived from published reports listed in the following section.

This is a regional interpretation for mapping at approximately 1:1 000 000 to produce a broad scale overview, and examination of small areas by collecting extra data is most likely to produce results that differ from this regional interpretation.

Adavale Basin region: Groundwater conceptual model data guide

Across Australia, groundwater is a vital resource that supports and strengthens communities, culture, the environment and numerous industries.
Movement of groundwater is complicated, taking place horizontally, vertically and across different timescales from weeks to millions of years. It is affected by changes in climate, human use and geological complexities such as the type, geometry and distribution of rocks. Understanding how all these factors interact is known as a groundwater conceptual model and it is an important first step.
This groundwater conceptualisation includes the Adavale Basin and the overlying Galilee Basin. Conceptualisation of the Galilee, Eromanga and Lake Eyre basins can be found in Hostetler et al. (2023).  In the Adavale Basin this includes 1 aquifer in the Lake Eyre Basin, 5 aquifers in the Eromanga Basin, 3 aquifers in the Galilee Basin and 1 aquifer in the Adavale Basin (Wainman et al., 2023a, b).
Confidence for each aquifer was calculated for both salinity and water levels (Gouramanis et al., 2023a, b, c, d). The confidence for each aquifer was added to show the overall confidence for the basin. The level of knowledge across all aquifers are moderate to low.
The groundwater conceptualisations summarises the groundwater flow and potential connectivity between aquifers. Figures in this fact sheet show the distribution of the aquifers and aquitards, average salinity, potential aquifer yield and confidence over an area of 50 km along the cross section lines.

South West 2 (Corrigin), WA, 2012 (P1241), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled

The radiometric, or gamma-ray spectrometric method, measures the natural variations in the gamma-rays detected near the Earth's surface as the result of the natural radioactive decay of potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th). The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This South West 2 (Corrigin), WA, 2012 (P1241), radiometric line data, AWAGS levelled were acquired in 2012 by the WA Government, and consisted of 115492 line-kilometres of data at 200m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.
