This service represents a combination of two data products, the DEM_SRTM_1Second dataset and the Australian_Bathymetry_Topography dataset. This service was created to support the CO2SAP (Co2 Storage application) Project to create a transect elevation graph within the application. This data is not available as a dataset for download as a Geoscience Australia product. The DEM_SRTM_1Second service represents the National Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 Second product derived from the National DEM SRTM 1 Second. The DEM represents ground surface topography, with vegetation features removed using an automatic process supported by several vegetation maps. eCat record 72759. The Australian_Bathymetry_Topography service describes the bathymetry dataset of the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond. Bathymetry data was compiled by Geoscience Australia from multibeam and single beam data (derived from multiple sources), Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) Laser Airborne Depth Sounding (LADS) data, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) fairsheets, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) bathymetric model, the 2 arc minute ETOPO (Smith and Sandwell, 1997) and 1 arc minute ETOPO satellite derived bathymetry (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Topographic data (onshore data) is based on the revised Australian 0.0025dd topography grid (Geoscience Australia, 2008), the 0.0025dd New Zealand topography grid (Geographx, 2008) and the 90m SRTM DEM (Jarvis et al, 2008). eCat record 67703. IMPORTANT INFORMATION For data within this service that lays out of the Australian boundary the following needs to be considered. This grid is not suitable for use as an aid to navigation, or to replace any products produced by the Australian Hydrographic Service. Geoscience Australia produces the 0.0025dd bathymetric grid of Australia specifically to provide regional and local broad scale context for scientific and industry projects, and public education. The 0.0025dd grid size is, in many regions of this grid, far in excess of the optimal grid size for some of the input data used. On parts of the continental shelf it may be possible to produce grids at higher resolution, especially where LADS or multibeam surveys exist. However these surveys typically only cover small areas and hence do not warrant the production of a regional scale grid at less than 0.0025dd. There are a number of bathymetric datasets that have not been included in this grid for various reasons.

The two versions of the printed Topographic Map Index are: - the 1:100,000 / 1:250,000 Topographic Map Index - the 1:50,000 Topographic Map Index Topographic map indexes are also available as digital data. Maps are listed by name on the back of the index. The 1:50,000 Index also lists availability of Orthophoto Map (OPM) and Topographic Line Map (TLM) for available 1:50,000 maps. Both indexes are available in printed form from your nearest topographic map retailer or from the Geoscience Australia Sales Centre. You can also download PDFs of each index. Note: To print these PDFs at 100% requires an A0 printer. They are best for viewing on-screen. For new maps which may have been released after these indexes were published, please refer to the new releases page or use the Product Search tool. Product Specifications Coverage: Australia Currency: 2004 (PDF); 2004 (data) Coordinates: Geographical Datum: GDA94 Format: ArcInfo Export, ArcView Shapefile and MapInfo mid/mif; PDF (maps only); Paper Map (maps only) Medium: GIS Data Free online, free folded map or CD-ROM (fee applies) Forward Program: Updated annually

This dataset was created to replace the existing Petroleum and Submerged Lands Act (PSLA) which was inaccurate. The dataset was derived from the previous 2006 release, with all points and boundaries checked and or updated. All the points were taken from the Act and marked up in the dataset. Limits of the area that share an outer limit with a maritime boundary were deliminated using the edges of those boundaries. Treaty limits are handled in a similar way. All lines have been snapped to each other to ensure continuity.

Geoscience Australia's wall map of Australia is ideal for displays and feature walls in offices, classrooms and conference rooms. The four component sheets - North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West are available individually, with each map 103cm x 88cm. The fully assembled size is 2m x 1.7m. At this scale 1cm on the map represents 25km on the ground. Product Specifications Coverage: Complete coverage of Australia Currency: Last revised 2011 Coordinates: Geographical Datum: AGD66 (GDA94 compliant at this scale); AHD Projection: Simple Conic on two standard parallels (18S and 36S)

This data set is the Earthquake Hazard Risk Contour Map for Australia based on earthquake measurements taken from the Geoscience Australia Earthquake Database. It shows the acceleration coefficient (a) 10 percent chance of being exceeded in the next 50 years. Thus a value of 0.05 as an example means that in any 50 year period, there is a 90% chance that the peak ground acceleration will not exceed 0.05. Where peak ground acceleration is a dimensionless coefficient of acceleration that is used by civil engineers to estimate forces on structures. High values of this calculation represent higher risk areas of earthquake occurrence.
