Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) map of the Cooper Basin region has been produced from 3D inversions of Bouguer gravity data using geological data to constrain the inversions. The 3D map has been used to predict temperatures and their uncertainty throughout the volume of the map. This will allow regions of elevated predicted temperature at 4-5 km to be identified, which may provide targets for future geothermal exploration in the Cooper Basin region. The 3D map delineates regions of low density within the basement of the Cooper and Eromanga basins that are inferred to be granitic bodies, which may act as heat sources. It also delineates the stratigraphy of the sedimentary basins which act as thermal insulation. This release is the second version of the 3D map of the Cooper Basin region. It builds on Version 1 of the Cooper Basin Region Geological map, released in 2009.
