  • 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).

  • The Landsat series of satellites commenced acquiring remotely sensed data with the launch of Landsat 1 in 1972. The Landsat satellites travel at an altitude of 705 kilometres and provide coverage of the entire globe every 16 days. Landsat 5, launched in 1984, carries the Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor in addition to the Multispectral Scanner (MSS). The Thematic Mapper is a higher resolution sensor. It provides imagery in seven spectral bands (called Bands 1-7), covering the visible and near, middle and thermal infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. TM has a 30-metre pixel resolution for all bands except Band 6 which has a 120-metre resolution. Its ground swath is 185 kilometres. A full scene is 185 kilometres by 172 kilometres. The archive of ACRES products includes TM data from September 1987 to December 1999 and July 2003 onwards.

  • 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.

  • Geoscience Australia is responsible for the definition of Australia's maritime boundaries. To assist in this task National Mapping has developed the Australian Maritime Boundaries Information System (AMBIS). AMBIS 2001 is a data product, derived from AMBIS, providing access to the data for Australia's Territorial Sea Baseline (TSB) and maritime zones. AMBIS 2001 data comprises the TSB and the outer limits of each zone, together with quality attributes. Base points that generate the zone boundaries are supplied in separate files and an extensive user guide provides useful background information. All data coordinates are supplied in the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA 94) which is effectively identical to the WGS84 datum. National Mapping is committed to the maintenance of the AMBIS data to ensure it reflects the changing nature of Australia's coastline and hence the various maritime zone limits. To this effect, a newly revised AMBIS 2001 product (version 1.1) has been released in October 2001. This new version incorporates additional treaty information, additional data in the vicinity of Swains Reef in Queensland, an improved representation of the TSB, several other minor corrections, a wider range of formats and simplified attribute tables.

  • 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 Geoscience Australia Rock Properties database stores the results measurements of scalar and vector petrophysical properties of rock and regolith specimens. Many are sourced from Geoscience Australia's mapping and research programs, but some are are compiled from published literature, university studies, the resources industry and State/Territory geological surveys. Measured properties include mass density, magnetic susceptibility, magnetic remanence, gamma, electrical conductivity and sonic velocity. The database also records analytical process information such as methods and instrument details wherever possible.

  • Compilation of data for the MINLOC database began in 1989 and now contains location data for mineral occurrences in Australia. Location data includes co-ordinates, name of occurrence, and commodity(ies). All data points are referenced. This dataset is a snapshot at the "Ending Date" of the current database entries.

  • Data collected from Geodetic GPS observation campaigns over the last 15 years. This data set is from non-continuous GPS sites. It is a combination of surveys undertaken by Geoscience Australia, State collaborators and international collaborators.

  • This Dataset has been collected over many decades for datum development and local monitoring purposes. It consists of measured angles, distances and height differences between monumented survey marks.
