Layered Geology Of Australia MapServer

The Layered Geology of Australia web map service is a seamless national coverage of Australia’s surface and subsurface geology. Geology concealed under younger cover units are mapped by effectively removing the overlying stratigraphy (Liu et al., 2015). This dataset is a layered product and comprises five chronostratigraphic time slices: Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, Neoproterozoic, and Pre-Neoproterozoic. As an example, the Mesozoic time slice (or layer) shows Mesozoic age geology that would be present if all Cenozoic units were removed. The Pre-Neoproterozoic time slice shows what would be visible if all Neoproterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic units were removed.  The Cenozoic time slice layer for the national dataset was extracted from Raymond et al., 2012. Surface Geology of Australia, 1:1 000 000 scale, 2012 edition. Geoscience Australia, Canberra.

Assessing the origin of dissolved gases in groundwater systems from northern Australia using noble gas, carbon and hydrogen isotopes

Geoscience Australia’s (GA) Exploring for the Future program undertook a series of groundwater field sampling surveys from 2017 to 2019 in northern Australia. The resulting datasets are being used to enhance our understanding of undercover Mineral and Groundwater resources. Additionally, groundwater samples were collected for an Energy perspective to access the influence of deeper hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gas inputs into the shallow groundwater systems. Sampling and analysis of Proterozoic–Cambrian groundwater, mostly from the Northern Territory and Queensland, revealed 1) no volatile organic compounds, suggesting either deeper aquitards (seals) limit the upward migration of petroleum fluids or that the latter are absent, 2) microbial methane from local sources is commonly found in the dissolved groundwater with some having access to deeper thermogenic methane, 3) helium has crustal and tritiogenic sources while the heavier noble gases commonly show air-saturated water concentrations, and 4) mixing of young and old groundwater.

Australian Gravity Stations WMTS

This service provides header and observation data for gravity stations located throughout continental Australia and Remote Offshore Territories.  Data sources include the Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) and the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN) maintained by Geoscience Australia (GA).  Data has been obtained by Surveyors, Commonwealth and state/territory Governments, private companies, and educational institutions. 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.

A provisional isogonic map of Australia and New Guinea showing predicted values for the epoch 1955.5

A provisional isogonic map of Australia and New Guinea has been prepared showing predicted values of declination for the middle of 1955. Along with this map, and isoporic chart is given showing the expected annual rate of change of declination over the same area for the same epoch. This rate of change (secular variation) can be taken as applying for all practical purposes from the beginning of 1953 to the end of 1957. It is expected that by the time a new map will have been prepared showing predicted values for 1960.5. The main points to note about the present map, in comparison with that for 1950.5 are: i) that the declination over Tasmania is from two-thirds to three-quarters of a degree greater (i.e. more easterly) than would have been expected from the 1950.5 map; ii) the annual rate of change of declination over the south-eastern part of Australia shows an increase in positive (i.e. easterly) value; iii) the annual rate of change of declination over the north-western part of the mainland now shows a small negative (i.e. westerly) value instead of the small positive value shown in previous years.

Australia's Land Borders WFS

Australia's Land Borders is a product within the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) suite of datasets. It is endorsed by the ANZLIC – the Spatial Information Council and the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) as the nationally consistent representation of the land borders as published by the Australian states and territories. It is topologically correct in relation to published jurisdictional land borders and the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF).

The purpose of this product is to provide: (i) a building block which enables development of other national datasets; (ii) integration with other geospatial frameworks in support of data analysis; and (iii) visualisation of these borders as cartographic depiction on a map. Although this service depicts land borders, it is not nor does it suggests to be a legal definition of these borders. Therefore it cannot and must not be used for those use-cases pertaining to legal context.

Probabilistic airborne electromagnetic inversion of 20 km AusAEM data, North East Queensland, 2025

This airborne electromagnetic (AEM) dataset provides regional scale probabilistic inversion products from 35,000 line km of airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data from the Northeast Queensland AusAEM 2024 survey with inter-line spacing of 20 km (Ley-Cooper &amp; Deo 2025). Under the aegis of the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative (RAPi), this continues the release of probabilistic inversion products from AEM data acquired under the Exploring for the Future program (2016-2024).  All AEM data were inverted using the open source HiQGA (High Quality Geophysical Analysis) code developed for this purpose (Ray et al. 2023a,b). Previously released Phase 01 and Phase 02 products are available at Ray et al. (2024, eCat 149375) and Ray et al. (2025, eCat 150339).



While deterministic inversions are the mainstay of reconnaisance surveying with AEM, the main benefits of a probabilistic inversion are:



- Loss of signal sensitivity at depth does not “fade to blue” by returning to the resistive deterministic reference model.

- Fine features and confidence in their interpretability are brought out by examining multiple probability percentiles.

- Survey join artefacts, though inevitable, are largely minimised, leading to seamless interpretability.

- Quick scanning for conductors using the 10th (low) percentile of log10 conductivity, and resistors using the 90th (high) percentile of log10 conductivity.



Further details are provided in the accompanying technical note.



The 10th, 50th and 90th and mean percentiles of log10 conductivity are provided in a variety of formats:



- VTK structured grids

- ASCII point clouds

- ASEG-GDF2 files

- GOCAD S-grids



Shape files associated with the inverted lines can also be found in the release package.



AEMConvertInterp input files (Nicoll et al. 2025) for the geological interpretation workflow detailed in Wong et al. (2022) have also been provided. 



Additionally, georeferenced images can be used from the above input files, but they are not required by the above workflow and are not guaranteed to render with the right orientation at all times.



All products have been provided in the coordinate reference system (CRS) the original AEM data were provided in. The VTK unstructured grids are also provided in GDA94 geodetic longitude, latitude coordinates for ease of display in the same CRS.

Geoscience Australia Sentinel-2B Observation Attributes Collection 3 - DEA Surface Reflectance OA (Sentinel-2B MSI)

DEA Surface Reflectance OA (Sentinel-2B MSI) is part of a suite of Digital Earth Australia's (DEA) Surface Reflectance datasets that represent the vast archive of images captured by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Landsat and European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel-2 satellite programs, which have been validated, calibrated, and adjusted for Australian conditions — ready for easy analysis.

<b>Background:</b>
This is a sub-product of Geoscience Australia Sentinel-2B MSI Analysis Ready Data Collection 3 - DEA Surface Reflectance (Sentinel-2B MSI). See the parent product for more information.

The contextual information related to a dataset is just as valuable as the data itself. This information, also known as data provenance or data lineage, includes details such as the data’s origins, derivations, methodology and processes. It allows the data to be replicated and increases the reliability of derivative applications.

Data that is well-labelled and rich in spectral, spatial and temporal attribution can allow users to investigate patterns through space and time. Users are able to gain a deeper understanding of the data environment, which could potentially pave the way for future forecasting and early warning systems.

The surface reflectance data produced by NBART requires accurate and reliable data provenance. Attribution labels, such as the location of cloud and cloud shadow pixels, can be used to mask out these particular features from the surface reflectance analysis, or used as training data for machine learning algorithms. Additionally, the capacity to automatically exclude or include pre-identified pixels could assist with emerging multi-temporal and machine learning analysis techniques.

<b>What this product offers:</b>
This product contains a range of pixel-level observation attributes (OA) derived from satellite observation, providing rich data provenance:
- null pixels
- clear pixels
- cloud pixels
- cloud shadow pixels
- snow pixels
- water pixels
- spectrally contiguous pixels
- terrain shaded pixels

It also features the following pixel-level information pertaining to satellite, solar and sensing geometries:
- solar zenith
- solar azimuth
- satellite view
- incident angle
- exiting angle
- azimuthal incident
- azimuthal exiting
- relative azimuth
- timedelta

Geology of the Stillwell Hills MapServer

The Stillwell Hills region comprises granulite-facies gneisses which record evidence for multiple episodes of deformation and metamorphism spanning more than 2500 million years. The predominant orthogneiss package (Stillwell Orthogneiss) is thought to represent the margin of an Archaean craton exposed in Enderby Land, some 150 km to the west that was reworked during the late Proterozoic. Younger additions to the crust include Palaeoproterozoic charnockitic gneiss (Scoresby Charnockite) and Meso-Neoproterozoic mafic sills and dykes (Point Noble Gneiss, Kemp Dykes) and felsic pegmatites (Cosgrove Pegmatites). Subordinate supracrustal rocks, including metaquartzite, metapelitic, metapsammitic and calc-silicate gneiss (Dovers Paragneiss, Sperring Paragneiss, Stefansson Paragneiss, Keel Paragneiss, Ives Paragneiss) are intercalated and infolded with the Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic orthogneisses.
This map service is derived from the map product 'The Geology of the Stillwell Hills, Antarctica' (GEOCAT 72717).

Tennant Creek – Mt Isa IOCG Mineral Potential Assessment WMS

This web service provides access to datasets produced by the mineral potential assement of iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineral systems in the Tennant Creek – Mt Isa region.  The mineral potential assessment uses a 2D, GIS-based workflow to qualitatively map four key mineral system components: (1) Sources of metals, fluids and ligands, (2) Energy to drive fluid flow, (3) Fluid flow pathways and architecture, and (4) Deposition mechanisms, such as redox or chemical gradients. For each of these key mineral system components theoretical criteria, representing important ore-forming processes, were identified and translated into mappable proxies using a wide range of input datasets. Each of these criteria are weighted and combined using an established workflow to produce the final map of IOCG potential.
