AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Geological Structures, Goulburn-Murray Area

This dataset consists of a series of approximate WSW to ENE oriented 'geological structures' interpreted from residual gravity bedrock depth in the Goulburn-Murray area of Victoria. These structures segment the Goulburn River Valley into an upper, middle and lower Goulburn bedrock valley system suggesting that it is a broadening out upland groundwater system for most of its length.

The dataset was compiled by GHD to inform the report 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' for DEPI's Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project.

Geological Basin Structural Elements

Executive summary:
As part of the Victorian Gas Program (VGP), the Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) is studying the Otway Basin's petroleum systems components (reservoir, seal and source), to assess its petroleum prospectivity and to estimate the potential for further conventional gas discoveries onshore and offshore within Victoria's jurisdiction.

Reference to geological structural elements (e.g. the Penola Trough or Port Campbell Embayment) enable geologists to convey ideas about geological features in specific locations. Throughout the VGP, geological structural elements such as troughs or depocentres, platforms, basement and topographic highs have been referenced. As the studies progressed, it was evident that a standard set of names and boundaries for structural elements in the Victorian Otway Basin needed to be defined.

New data and interpretations arising from VGP studies, such as the airborne gravity data (Carter et al., 2019) and the 3D geological framework model (Romine et al., 2020), were used in this study to accurately define the boundaries of structural elements. Existing interpretations and literature were also consulted and combined with the boundary definitions to develop a set of georeferenced polygons or shapefiles, defining the major structural elements of the Victorian Otway Basin: Early Cretaceous depocentres, Late Cretaceous depocentres and platforms, and basement and topographic highs.

From previous publications, consistent naming had been established for most structural elements; however, some elements had multiple names. Most previously identified structural elements were ill-defined with only small-scale illustrations available. The names used to define the structural elements in this study were resolved by considering the evolution of the understanding of the Otway Basin, along with historical precedence and common usage in the literature.

This review of Victorian Otway Basin structural elements provides a detailed set of output files (Attachment A1). These can be used as a consistent reference for future mapping and modelling studies. The structural elements defined in this study are not considered a definitive list. Further refinements should be possible if new data is acquired over areas where data availability limited the interpretation in this study.

2010 Index of Stream Condition - Channel Transect line features

The ISC2010_CHANNEL_TRANSECTS are line features created perpendicular to the river centreline that span the width of ISC2010_BANKFULL_WIDTH polygons. Channel Transects occur every 25m along all reaches. Every fourth Channel Transect coicides with a 100m River Section break. Channel Transects are used to assess and record cross sectional statistics. Channel Transects are represented as two dimensional lines but contain three dimensional cross sectional attributes such as channel area and volume.

River condition in Victoria is assessed every 5 years using the Index of Stream Condition (ISC). The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) developed a methodology to assess the Physical Form and Riparian Vegetation components of the ISC using remote sensing data, specifically LIDAR and aerial photography. 

A State Wide mapping project was undertaken in 2010-13 to accurately map the Physical Form and Riparian Vegetation metrics of the ISC . Other ISC metrics were not assessed in the project and were derived from other sources.

The Physical Form and Riparian Vegetation Metric products are a combination of mapped Vector and Raster data as well as Tabular Summary Statistics about the mapped features. In the context of the project, the term Metrics is used to refer to both the mapped features and the summary statistics. 

Remote sensing data used includes 15cm true colour and infra-red aerial photography and four return multi-pulse LiDAR data. This source data was used to derive a variety of Raster data sets including Digital Terrain Models, Slope, Vegetation Height and Vegetation Cover. The Digital Terrain and Slope rasters were used to map Physical Form metrics including Stream Bed, Top of Bank and River Centre Lines while the Vegetation Height and Cover rasters were used to map the Riparian Vegetation metrics.
The Project Report "Aerial Remote Sensing for Physical Channel Form and Riparian Vegetation Mapping" describes the remote sensing and mapping approach used to create this data set.

Port Fairy Risk of Salient Loss

The Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Port Fairy coastal environment.

This data identifies areas that could be affected in the event of salient loss, which cannot be fully quantified with contemporary desktop engineering techniques. The areas highlighting the risk of salient loss were obtained by using the overall surrounding beach alignment, as this would likely be the natural position to which the shoreline would revert in the eventuality of salient loss.

Details of the assumptions made in the derivation of this information can be found in project reports on the Our Coast website: http://www.ourcoast.org.au/cb_pages/resources.php.

Environment Mitigation polygon dataset

Under the Melbourne Strategic Assessment program, liabilities are calculated through the use of the <code>Environment Mitigation Dataset'. This dataset is made up of two sub-sets, the</code>Environment Mitigation Polygon Dataset' (this dataset) and the <code>Environment Mitigation Point Dataset'. The</code>Environment Mitigation Polygon Dataset' (this dataset) provides the habitat areas across the levy area, while the `Environment Mitigation Point Dataset' provides the point data for scattered trees. 

Liability is based on the hectares of habitat and the price for that habitat type, and the number of scattered tree location and the price for a scattered tree location. A parcel of land, or other area for which a liability is imposed, may have a liability imposed based on the coverage over that land of one or more of the following:
<blockquote>

Native vegetation area
Matted Flax-lily habitat area
Spiny Rice-flower habitat area
Golden Sun Moth habitat area
Growling Grass Frog habitat area
Southern Brown Bandicoot habitat area
Scattered tree location
</blockquote>

Each of these are represented in the `Environment Mitigation Dataset', with the polygons for each represented in this sub-dataset.
