The Surface Hydrology Points (Regional) dataset provides a set of related features classes to be used as the basis of the production of consistent hydrological information. This dataset contains a geometric representation of major hydrographic point elements - both natural and artificial. This dataset is the best available data supplied by Jurisdictions and aggregated by Geoscience Australia it is intended for defining hydrological features.

The Onshore Seismic Data Collection includes regional crustal scale seismic datasets across the Australian Continent collected by Geoscience Australia (GA) and its predecessors, the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) and Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) in collaboration with the State and Territory Geological Surveys, Australian National Seismic Imaging Resource (ANSIR) ( National Research Facility for Earth Sounding), AuScope Earth Imaging (under the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy), Universities and other industry and research partners. The collection preserves raw and processed seismic data. The GIS dataset of Onshore Seismic Surveys from 1976 to present (updated May 2019) shows locations of seismic recording stations (the original ecat <a href="https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/100802">100802</a>). It is generated from a database containing coordinates of all Geoscience Australia's seismic traverses. This Shape file enables users to display seismic lines on a map and contains links to data packages available for free download. < b>Value: </b>Data used to expand the geoscientific understanding of the earth's crustal structure and provide new insights into Australia's onshore energy and mineral potential. This data can be used for the assessment of resource potential. <b>Scope: </b>Primarily targeted regional crustal scale cross-sections (2D) for research purposes. <b> To view the seismic dataset by state use the following URL: </b> https://www.ga.gov.au/about/projects/resources/seismic

The Australian Tsunami Database (ATDB) was commissioned by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation as part of a national database of natural hazards in Australia. Its scope, however, is broader with data for the Southwest Pacific, Southeast Asia and Australia. The ATDB aims to furher understanding of the tsunami hazard in these regions by presenting the data from myriad source in a single comprehensive resource that is both accessible and useful. The ATDB is constructed in Borland Paradox for Windows, a relational database that facilitates easy data entry and data extraction. The ATDB contains information regarding tsunami dates, time, locations, effects and comments, and is designed so that it can be linked to the earthquake database run by teh Australian Seismological Centre.

This data set provides outlines for the maximum spatial extent of seabed geomorphic units for Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone, including the offshore island territories, but excluding Australian Antarctic Territory. Twenty-one geomorphic feature types were identified and mapped, following definitions published by the International Hydrographic Office (IHO, 2001). <b>Value: </b>The geomorphology of the seabed is used to constrained surface geology of the sea floor, important in resource exploration, marine zone management and for understanding the physical environment <b>Scope: </b>The area covered includes the seafloor within the Australian marine jurisdiction surrounding the Australian mainland and island territories of Christmas, Cocos (Keeling), Macquarie, and Norfolk Islands (Heap & Harris 2008).

Geoscience Australia's Australian National Hydrocarbon Geochemistry Data Collection comprises Oracle database tables from the Organic Geochemistry (ORGCHEM) schema and derivative information in the Petroleum Systems Summary database (Edwards et al., 2020, 2023; Edwards and Buckler, 2024). The ORGCHEM schema includes organic geochemistry, organic petrology and stable isotope database tables that capture the analytical results from sample-based datasets used for the discovery and evaluation of sediment-hosted resources. A focus is to capture open file data relevant to energy (i.e., petroleum and hydrogen) exploration, including source rocks, crude oils and natural gases from both onshore and offshore Australian sedimentary basins. The database tables also include complementary physical properties and complementary inorganic analyses on sedimentary rocks and hydrocarbon-based earth materials. The data are produced by a wide range of destructive analytical techniques conducted on samples submitted by industry under legislative requirements, as well as on samples collected by research projects undertaken by Geoscience Australia, other government agencies and scientific institutions. Some of these results have been generated by Geoscience Australia, whereas other data are compiled from service company reports, well completions reports, government reports, published papers and theses. The data is non-confidential and available for use by Government, the energy exploration industry, research organisations and the community. The Petroleum Systems Summary database stores the compilation of the current understanding of petroleum systems information, including the statistical evaluation of the analytical data by basin across the Australian continent. <b>Value: </b>These data in the ORGCHEM database tables comprise the raw organic geochemistry, organic petrological and stable isotopic values generated for Australian source rocks, crude oils and natural gases and is the only public comprehensive database at the national scale. The raw data are used as input values to other studies, such as basin analysis, petroleum systems evaluation and modelling, resource assessments, enhanced oil recovery projects, and national mapping projects. Derived datasets and value-add products are created based on calculated values and interpretations to provide information on the subsurface petroleum prospectivity of the Australian continent, as summarised in the Petroleum Systems Summary database. The data collection aspires to build a national scale understanding of Australia's petroleum and hydrogen resources. This data collection is useful to government for evidence-based decision making on sediment-hosted energy resources and the energy industry for de-risking both conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon exploration programs, hydrogen exploration programs, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage programs. <b>Scope: </b>The database initially comprised organic geochemical and organic petrological data on organic-rich sedimentary rocks, crude oils and natural gas samples sourced from petroleum wells drilled in the onshore and offshore Australian continent, including those held in the Australian National Offshore Wells Data Collection. Over time, other sample types (e.g., fluid inclusions, mineral veins, bitumen) from other borehole types (e.g., minerals, stratigraphic including the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, and coal seam gas), marine dredge samples and field sites (outcrop, mines, surface seepage samples, coastal bitumen strandings) have been analysed for their molecular and stable isotopic chemical compositions and are captured in the databases. The organic geochemical database tables and derivative data compiled in the Petroleum Systems Summary database are delivered by web services and analytical tools in the <a href="https://portal.ga.gov.au/">Geoscience Australia Data Discovery Portal </a> and specifically in the <a href="https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/sra">Source Rock and Fluid Atlas Persona</a>. These web services enable interrogation of source rock and petroleum fluids data within boreholes and from field sites and facilitate correlation of these elements of the petroleum system within and between basins. <b>Reference</b> Edwards, D.S., Buckler, T., Grosjean, E. & Boreham, C.J. 2024.

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is the key instrument aboard the satellites Terra (EOS AM-1), launched on 18 December 1999 and Aqua (EOS PM-1), launched on 4 May 2002. MODIS views almost the entire surface of the Earth every day, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands over a 2330 km swath. MODIS data will improve the understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. ACRES has been acquiring MODIS data since April 2000 and December 2002 from TERRA and ACQUA satellites respectively. Registered users can download this data free of cost from ACRES web site.
