  • 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.

  • <div>The Abbot Point to Hydrographers Passage bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the RV Escape during the period 6 Oct 2020 – 16 Mar 2021. This was a contracted survey conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office by iXblue Pty Ltd as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. The survey area encompases a section of Two-Way Route from Abbot Point through Hydrographers Passage QLD. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM 2040, and processed using QPS QINSy. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area.</div><div>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.</div>

  • Magnetotelluric (MT) measures the natural variations of the Earth's magnetic and electrical (telluric) fields. The Audio-Magnetotelluric method (AMT) samples signals in the frequency range of 10k Hz down to ~1Hz and provides information to the upper few kilometres of the crust. AMT data were collected at ten sites in the southern Thomson Orogen using Phoenix Geophysics equipment (MTU-5A, MTC-150L and PE5 electrodes). Instrument deployment periods were 7/Oct -29/Oct 2015 and 03/Aug-10/Aug 2016. Time series data were processed into frequency domain using remote reference and Robust Processing scheme. After quality assurance, processed data were exported to industry-standard EDI files. Time series data are available on request.

  • Adelaide LiDAR 2008 data was flown by AAMHatch between 13th to 19th September 2008 as part of the Urban Digital Elevation Modelling in High Priority Areas Project funded by the Federal Department of Climate Change. Several data gaps existed in the intital survey due to operational instrumentation errors and a subsequent refly was conducted on 5th January 2009 to complete the dataset. The data was captured with point density of 0.8m point per square metre and overall vertical accuracy has been confirmed at <15cm (68% confidence level). The data are available as mass point files (LAS) comprising ground, thinned ground and non ground points in 2km tiles. A hydrologically conditioned and drainage enforced 2m DEM or HDEM has also been developed in 2010 as part of the Urban DEM project managed by the CRC for Spatial Information and Geoscience Australia. The HDEM was produced by SKM using the ANUDEM program. The HDEM ensures that primary stream/channel flow, and water flow across the land surface are accurately represented. The hydrologically enforced elevation model should be used for any water modelling. Adelaide Hydrological Enforced DEM(HDEM) 2008

  • A multi-agency collaboration between Australian government partners has been working towards making continent-scale, public, web-accessible and GIS-compatible ASTER geoscience maps. CSIRO along with Geoscience Australia and several state government agencies, (including GSWA, GSQ, DMITRE and NTGS), have developed methodology and produced 15 geoscientific products, with applications for mineral mapping and exploration, soil-mapping, environment and agricultural sectors. This work represents the largest ASTER mosaic of this type in the world and sets a new benchmark for state-to-continent scale spectral remote sensing. The project is supported both nationally and internationally by the ASTER Science Team, ERSDAC, NASA and the USGS. Outcomes include the formation of a platform for establishing national standards; geoscience product nomenclature; processing methods; accuracy assessments; and traceable documentation. Detailed product notes outline these standards and provide significant knowledge transfer for existing and new users of this type of data. Hyperion satellite hyperspectral imagery has been critical for calibration and validation of the processed ASTER data, reduction to 'surface' reflectance using independent validation data such as Hyperion, and calculating statistics to generate regression coefficients, reduces errors in the ASTER instrument and increases reliability and corroboration of spectral responses.

  • This document details the methods and results of the project Adelaide LiDAR Classification and Derived Products¿ performed by RPS for Geoscience Australia in 2013. Lineage and Accuracy Statements for ANZLIC metadata documents for each of the project deliverables are included. Airborne LiDAR data was acquired over Adelaide in September 2008 and North Adelaide in September 2011. Differences in the level of classification reduced the ability to integrate the data into an accurate, seamless and consistent coastal DEM suitable for detailed modelling the potential impacts of coastal inundation or riverine flooding. The objective of this project was to reclassify both the 2008 and 2011 point clouds to ICSM Level 3 and derive hydro flattened 1m bare earth DEMs and; 0.25m cartographic contours, all inline with the ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications. Figure 1. Adelaide LiDAR Reclassification 2012 overview map The LiDAR The LiDAR was provided as tiled LAS files. RPS did not apply any vertical or horizontal adjustments to the LiDAR and is unable to comment on the spatial accuracy of the point cloud. The deliverables were: Classified ICSM Level 2 and Level 3 point clouds in LAS format 1 metre DEMs in ESRI Binary grid format 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape format Break lines in ESRI Shape format. This report All files were named according to the ICSM file naming specifications.

  • Scanned 250k geological maps of Australia in geotiff format. Data is cropped to map graticule, rectified to geographic coordinate system, GDA94, GRS80 ellipsoid. Data is uncompressed, not tiled, 8bit colour, 250dpi and 25m pixel size. The map editions are current only to 2002.

  • The coverage of this dataset is over the WestNarranLake region . The C3 LAS data set contains point data in LAS 1.2 format sourced from a LiDAR ( Light Detection and Ranging ) from an ALS50 ( Airborne Laser Scanner ) sensor . The processed data has been manually edited to achieve LPI classification level 3 whereby the ground class contains minimal non-ground points such as vegetation, water , bridges , temporary features , jetties etc .

  • ​The King Island North, Bass Strait, bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the M/V Pacific Quest during the period 28 January to 6 May 2021. This was a contracted survey conducted as part of the HydroScheme Industry Partnership Program (HIPP). The survey area encompasses a region located north of King Island in Bass Strait, including the approaches to Phoques Bay, located at the NW extremity of King Island. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040D and processed using QPS Qimera V2.0.1. The dataset was then exported to GeoTIFF using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset contains a 30m-resolution 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF file of the bathymetry in the survey area. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
