  • 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.

  • These data are the time series seismograph, hydroacoustic and infrasound data recorded from Australian National Seismograph Network (ANSN) observatories in Australia, islands in the Pacific, Southern and Indian Ocean's and the Australian Antarctic Territory. ANSN observatories include facilities operated by Geoscience Australia in collaboration with other international agencies. These data are acquired for the purpose of the detection and location of earthquakes and tsunamigenic events within the Australian continent and its surrounds. The dataset is also used to meet a subset of Australia's obligations to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) to fulfil Australia's commitment to nuclear explosion monitoring. The seismic waveform data records seismic events to allow for the detection, location estimation (position and depth) and magnitude of earthquakes of magnitude of 3.0 or greater anywhere in Australia. Seismic (Digital). Seismograms (Physical plots (paper & film) and Digital Scans).

  • A seamless Regolith Map of Australia drawn from field-defined regolith-landform data at approx 1:250k scale for QLD and NT, and additionally from SA regolith data derived from the South Australian Regolith Map (1:2 Million) published in 2012, and generalised by Geoscience Australia to 1:5 000 000 for matching with existing data.

  • This is an extract from the OZTemp database, an updated and improved version of the AUSTHERM05 borehole temperature database previously described by Chopra and Holgate (2005). OZTemp currently contains 5513 individual wells and 17 247 temperature and/or temperature gradient data records.

  • AMSIS is a web based interactive mapping and decision support system that improves access to integrated government and non-government information in the Australian Marine Jurisdiction. AMSIS contains over 80 layers of information including maritime boundaries, bathymetry, physical and environmental information, legal interests, fisheries and shipping that has been sourced from Geoscience Australia, other Australian government agencies and some industry sources. AMSIS also contains the offshore mineral locations data that was used to create the Offshore Minerals Map. AMSIS has been developed using standards to support interoperability enabling integration with the National Oceans Portal and other on-line initiatives. Geoscience Australia is working with other agencies and organisations to add additional information. Information in this application should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for commercial and operational decisions. AMSIS should not be used for navigational purposes.

  • The collection supports the compilation of national mineral resource and production statistics, and mineral prospectivity analysis. The collection includes the OZMIN database (Australian mineral deposit descriptions including geological, resource and production data); the MINLOC database (mineral occurrence locations sourced from Geoscience Australia and state and territory geological surveys); supporting GIS datasets (eg,mineral prospectivity datasets, ports, power stations); maps and reports.

  • National Exposure Information Systems (NEXIS) provides nationally consistent exposure information about Australia's residents and buildings for use in assessing the risk from natural and man-made disasters, in order to inform policy and operational decision makers of the impact on Australian communities. NEXIS can provide detailed residential, commercial and industrial information for every Local Government Area in Australia.

  • Scanned 250k geological maps of Australia in geotiff format. Data is cropped to map graticule, rectified to geographic coordinate system, GDA94, GRS80 ellipsoid. Data is uncompressed, not tiled, 8bit colour, 250dpi and 25m pixel size. The map editions are current only to 2002.

  • The MARine Sediment (MARS) database contains detailed information on seabed sediment characteristics for samples collected from Australia's marine jurisdiction, including the Australian Antarctic Territory. It is an important scientific resource that includes sediment properties from seabed and sub-seabed samples spanning coastal, continental shelf and deep sea locations. Analytical properties include grain size, carbonate content, mineralogy, geochemical properties and age determinations. MARS currently holds approximately 100,000 sample records and new data are being added as they become available. Please contact us at ausseabed@ga.gov.au if you wish to contribute marine sediment data to the MARS database.
