These datasets contain both fundamental and also final outputs in the form of files, rasters and vectors. These datasets are utilised to provide a measure of Tasmanian severe wind risk for both current climate and two climate change scenarios. To provide a measure of Tasmanian severe wind risk for both current climate and two climate change scenarios, this study has developed: (1) an understanding of severe wind hazard for two climate change scenarios (at 2060 & 2100) separately considering thunderstorm downbursts and synoptic winds and then combining the elements to construct hazard with regards to likelihood and intensity for the region. The outputs of general circulation climate models were forced by two increasing greenhouse gas trajectories (A2 & B1 scenarios) to give representative wind hazard for the respective possible future greenhouse gas concentrations scenarios. (2) an understanding of how residential building exposure may change for the case study regions (2060 & 2100) utilising the Australian Bureau of Statistics population projections (A, B & C series) and the National Exposure Information System (NEXIS) to project current trends in occupancy statistics. (3) a preliminary understanding of annualised loss due to wind exposure for urban areas within 42 Tasmanian regions (considering 10 year to 2000 year return period hazard). Regions have been ranked on the severity of loss, and key contributing factors driving the risk in these high wind risk regions are considered.

The FreeGs is a web-enabled thermodynamic database of geologically related substances.

The National Geochemical Survey of Australia: The Geochemical Atlas of Australia was published in July 2011. Released along with this publication was a digital copy of the geochemical dataset that included basic particle size data. This dataset includes extended particle size data for NGSA samples.

The Australian Geoscience Data Cube has won the 2016 Content Platform of the Year category at the Geospatial World Leadership Awards. The awards recognise significant contributions made by champions of change within the global geospatial industry and were presented during the 2017 Geospatial World Forum held in Hyderabad, India. The Data Cube was developed by Geoscience Australia in partnership with the CSIRO and the National Computational Infrastructure at the Australian National University, and is a world-leading data analysis system for satellite and other Earth observation data.

Global solar exposure is the total amount of solar energy falling on a horizontal surface. The daily global solar exposure is the total solar energy for a day. Typical values for daily global exposure range from 1 to 35 MJ/m2 (megajoules per square metre). For mid-latitudes, the values are usually highest in clear sun conditions during the summer, and lowest during winter or very cloudy days. The monthly means are derived from the daily global solar exposure. See metadata statement for more information.
