  • 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.

  • This GIS web browser contains stratigraphic information from the southern flank of the Murphy Inlier, Lawn Hill Platform and Leichhardt River Fault Trough in the Western Succession of the Mount Isa Block. The principal lithostratigraphic units covered by this dataset include the Surprise Creek Formation, Mount Isa and McNamara Groups. The images are pixilated versions of those contained on CD Records AGSO Record 1999/10, AGSO Record 1999/15, GA Record 2002/3. The data contained on the CD's is more comprehensive, at a better resolution and also contains cross sections that are not available over the web. No drill hole data is supplied in this viewer. The data compiled for this viewer was collected during the course of the NABRE, AMIRA P552 and pmd*CRC projects. The respective CD's also provide measured sections at different scales with slightly varying information available at 1:400, 1:1000, 1:2500 and 1:5000 scales. The information at each scale is slightly different. Plot files ready for printing also accompany the measured sections. Each of the measured sections contains primary observational data (grainsize, lithology, bed thickness, sedimentary structure and gamma ray curve) map-based lithostratigraphic units as shown on the 1:100,000 geological sheets, interpreted facies and sequence stratigraphic surfaces. Sections were measured using a Jacobs Staff and Abney Level and the rocks were marked in 1.5 m intervals of true thickness. Gamma ray data was collected at either 50 cm or 75 cm intervals of true thickness using hand-held Scintrex GRS 500 spectrometers that measured total gamma ray counts. A beryllium standard was used to calibrate each spectrometer. Each machine was calibrated at intervals of two to three hours. Each gamma reading was averaged over an interval of ten seconds. Outcrop discontinuities prevented the collection of stratigraphic data in a line of continuous section. As a result most of the sections present in this data set comprise a series of segments combined to form a single composite section. The single sections were all measured within a radius of several kilometres of each other. Individual sections were spliced together at prominent marker beds (outcrop tracing of strata), or by the use of overlapping gamma ray curves in conjunction with facies descriptions. Section locations shown in the web browser depict the base of each composite section. Grid coordinates for the base each composite section can be found in the header block of the appropriate section. The geological maps used in this web browser depict the approximate position of supersequence boundaries. Not all the geology for the region has been included and only the geology relevant to the measured sections has been used. The supersequences provided are based on the most appropriate lithostratigraphic boundaries and no new geological polygons have been created. It should be noted that the Torpedo Creek and Warrina Park Quartzites have been placed in the Prize Supersequence. However, we acknowledge that due to mis-mapping of these sand bodies the Torpedo Creek and Warrina Park Quartzites from the basal part of the Gun Supersequence at some locations.

  • These data are a digital representation of information depicted on the printed maps of Seigal, Hedleys Creek, Carrara Range Region, Lawn Hill Region, Riversleigh, Constance Range Region, Mount Oxide Region, Mammoth Mines Region, Myally, Alsace, Coolullah, Kennedy Gap, Prospector, Quamby, Mount Isa, Mary Kathleen, Marraba, Cloncurry, Oban, Duchess Region, Malbon, Kuridala Region, Selwyn Region, Dajarra and Ardmore 1:100 000 Geological Series and Mount Drummond 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by Geoscience Australia, the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) and Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS). Data present include geological polygons (litho-stratigraphic units). Polygons were dissolved so that only the sepersequence boundary is available. This geology coverage has been modified from ANZCW0703003759. The range of attributes found in the geology coverage ANZCW0703003759 (including unit name, era, period and lithological description) are not found in this coverage as a result. The data has gradually evolved from elementary CAD quality data into its present topologically structured GIS format, and hence has many imperfections and inconsistencies. Data has undergone rigorous validation and testing that includes over 80 different tests. See ADDITIONAL METADATA for more information on the data standards used.

  • These data are a digital representation of information depicted on printed maps from the Australia 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by AGSO and the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) between 1963 and 1998. The data are in a tiled format and are not seamless, although basic edgematching has been done where possible. Tiles are arranged according to the standard Australian 1:250 000 sheet breakup. The complete dataset is comprised of the 90 tiles covering the Northern Territory.

  • Data used to produce the predicted Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) map for the Hutton Aquifer and equivalents in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2015). There are four layers in the Hutton Aquifer and equivalents Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) map data A. Location of hydrochemistry samples (Point data, Shapefile) B. Predicted Concentration (Filled contours , Shapefile) C. Predicted Concentration Contours (Contours, Shapefile) D. Prediction Standard Error (Filled contours , Shapefile) The predicted values provide a regional based estimate and may be associated with considerable error. It is recommended that the predicted values are read together with the predicted error map, which provides an estimate of the absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map. The predicted standard error map provides an absolute standard error associated with the predicted values at any point within the map. Please note this is not a relative error map and the concentration of a parameter needs to be considered when interpreting the map. Predicted standard error values are low where the concentration is low and there is a high density of samples. Predicted standard errors values can be high where the concentration is high and there is moderate variability between nearby samples or where there is a paucity of data. Units are Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) as D VSMOW. Coordinate system is Lambert conformal conic GDA 1994, with central meridian 134 degrees longitude, standard parallels at -18 and -36 degrees latitude. The Hutton Aquifer and equivalents Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) map is one of four hydrochemistry maps for the Hutton Aquifer and equivalents and 24 hydrochemistry maps in the Hydrogeological Atlas of the Great Artesian Basin (Ransley et.al., 2015).
