AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Topo 2.5M landmass mask of Australia

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from Geoscience Australia GEODATA TOPO series - 1:1 Million to 1:10 Million scale data (GUID: 310c5d07-5a56-4cf7-a5c8-63bdb001cd1a). You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



This dataset contains a landmass mask of Australia.

## **Purpose** 

This mask has been developed to readily differentiate onshore and offshore areas thus allowing clear representation of data in the map by masking the offshore areas. It differs from the dataset Geoscience Australia Topographic 250K series 3 data (GUID: a0650f18-518a-4b99-a553-44f82f28bb5f) through the inclusion of the Gippsland Lakes.

This mask has been used in Gippsland Bioregional Assessment cartographic products to tidy overlapping layers or help display labels.

## **Dataset History** 

The 2.5 Million scale Mainlands and Islands layers from the Geoscience Australia GEODATA TOPO series - 1:1 Million to 1:10 Million scale data (GUID: 310c5d07-5a56-4cf7-a5c8-63bdb001cd1a) were clipped from a large rectangular extent layer of Australia within ESRI ArcMap 10.2. The mask area is essentially the non-land surface.

Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna - 1 minute grid summary

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. 

This layer summarises VBA fauna records against a standard grid of 1 degree longitude/latitude (GDA94).

Any VBA taxa record with its centre in a cell is counted as a record for that cell. The number of times a

taxon has been recorded in a cell is collated in the RECORDS column. The first date and last date that a

taxon has been recorded in a cell are also summarised. VBA data summarised against 10 and 5 minute

grids are also available in related datasets. VBA records with a spatial accuracy worse than +/- 1 km are

excluded from this layer.

## **Purpose** 

This layer can be used to indicate general localities where wildlife have been recorded. It can also be used

as an index to assist in the analysis of the VBA_FAUNA25 and VBA_FAUNA100 layers. This layer

includes restricted records and can act as an alternative to VBA_FAUNA_RESTRICTED.



For the purposes of biodiversity management and conservation.

## **Dataset History** 

Data Set Source: The Victorian Biodiversity Atlas database



Completeness: Records are available from throughout Victoria, although some area have extremely good coverage, e.g. Central Highlands, East Gippsland.

Victorian Coastal Acid Sulphate Soils

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.



Spatial data representing Victorian coastal lands which have the potential to contain coastal acid sulfate soil (CASS), i.e. it is prospective for CASS. This spatial data is used for triggering an investigation of a site where proposed activities risk disturbing CASS. Disturbing CASS is defined as causing oxygen to penetrate earth material that contains metal oxides either in sulfidic material or sulfuric material. Sulfidic material is soil or sediment that contains metal sulfides which oxidise to sulfuric acid in the presence of oxygen. Sulfuric material has either partially or completely oxidised metal oxides. This data was created to help avoid disturbing potential CASS.

## **Dataset History** 

Data Set Source:

Mapping was by interpretation of aerial photography, and data on site features, topography, water quality, soil and geology. Shapefiles were in decimal degrees with a datum of GDA94. LiDAR derived DEM data (MGA94) was used to aid mapping. In some areas, mostly in the eastern half of the state, contour lines from the DEM data, served as critical values of elevation (typically 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 m AHD) below which prospectivity was interpreted to exist: a model typically applied to coastal plains, dunefields, flood plains and swamps. On-ground survey and soil analytical data was confined to land west of Lake Tyers. All inland boundaries were smoothed (PAEK 50-100 m) for Prospective Land. Made Land and Water were not smoothed and abut Prospective Land without gaps. The Water polygons were from the HY_WATER_AREA_POLYGON_NAMED spatial layer for all but Mallacoota Inlet and Reedy Lake, where the ESTUARIES spatial layer was used. While some waterbodies are navigable, many are shallow, many vary in outline and area with seasons, and some are ephemeral. Shorelines were used to clip the seaward extent. The shoreline boundaries were from the VIC_AUSCSTGEO_SHORELINE_SEG spatial layer for most of the coast. SHORELINE25 spatial layer was used in some parts, e.g. Bass River.

Streamflow analysis for the Namoi subregion

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from streamflow data provided by the NSW Office of Water. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



Annual flows (GL/year) were derived for a number of Namoi gauging stations. They are created from synthesised data based on the New South Wales Office of Water (NOW) Hydstra surface water database.



Data was extracted from the Hydstra format to .csv files for surface water sites within the Namoi region. 



Quality codes are explained in the Data Quality Codes file.

## **Dataset History** 

Daily streamflow data for sites extracted from the Hydstra surface water database within the Namoi subregion were accumulated for each year to produce the annual flow and the results plotted.



The annual flow data for each year was subtracted from the mean annual flow to produce difference from the mean for each year. A cumulative total of this difference for each year gives the data for cumulative difference and these results were plotted for each site.

Qld 100K mapsheets - Caboolture

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. The polygons in this dataset are a digital representation of the distribution or extent of geological units within the area. Polygons have a range of attributes including unit name, age, lithological description and an abbreviated symbol for use in labelling the polygons. These have been extracted from the Rock Units Table held in the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Merlin Database.

## **Purpose** 

To display the geology polygons which define the extent of rock units.

## **Dataset History** 

Data captured at 1:25 000 scale. The data set is sourced from the Department's Geoscience and Resources Database (GRDB), a component of the Mineral and Energy Resources Location and Information Network (MERLIN) corporate database.(GRDB), a component of the Mineral and Energy Resources Location and Information Network (MERLIN) corporate database. NOTE: GEOLDATA was in most cases compiled based on Datum AGD66. The map tile coverages so compiled have now been projected to geographics based on Datum GDA94. Consequently the boundaries for these map tiles will not conform to the Latitude and Longitude graticule based on Datum GDA94.

ABS Mesh Block Population Counts Aus 2011

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.



These datasets contain counts of the total usual resident population and total dwelling count from the 2011 Census of Population and Housing for Mesh Blocks. Mesh Blocks are the smallest geographic region in the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS), and the smallest geographical unit for which Census data are available. In 2011, there were approximately 347,000 Mesh Blocks covering the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. They broadly identify land use such as residential, commercial, agricultural and parks etc. Mesh Blocks are identified with a unique 11 digit code. Most residential Mesh Blocks contain approximately 30 to 60 dwellings. Mesh Blocks have been designed to be small enough to aggregate accurately to a wide range of spatial units and thus enable a ready comparison of statistics between geographical areas. These are large enough to protect against accidental disclosure. 



For 2011, Mesh Block counts are available by usual residence for basic person counts and dwelling counts.

 \*Persons Usually Resident: This is the count of people where they usually live, which may or may not be where they were on Census Night. This data is coded from the address supplied to the question "Where does the person usually live?". For more information about usual residence, see Place of Usual Residence in the Census Dictionary, 2011 (cat. no. 2901.0).

 \*Dwellings: A dwelling is a structure which is intended to have people live in it, and which is habitable on Census Night. Some examples of dwellings are houses, motels, flats, caravans, prisons, tents, humpies and houseboats. All occupied dwellings are counted in the Census. Unoccupied private dwellings are also counted with the exception of those in caravan parks, marinas and manufactured home estates. For more information about dwellings, see Dwelling Type in the Census Dictionary, 2011 (cat. no. 2901.0).

 

For the 2006 Census, experimental Mesh Blocks were developed and counts for usual residence population and total dwellings were provided for each Mesh Block. The boundaries were reviewed and revised in preparation for the 2011 Census.
