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.

These data represent the OZCHRON database of physical age determinations of Australian rocks, and the radiogenic isotope ratios used in determining the ages. OZCHRON datasets comprise bibliographic references, analytical data and pooled results for samples derived using the Rb-Sr, SHRIMP, U-Pb, and Sm-Nd age determination methods.

The offshore seismic data consists of field, processed, and seismic navigation data. Reports of the acquisition, processing and interpretation reports plus reprocessed seismic data and reports are also held. The collection is derived from the submission of seismic data under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act and previous legislation. The Petroleum (Submerged Lands), the Offshore Petroleum, and the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGSA) requires petroleum data to be submitted to the State Designated Authority (DA). The Act(s) also require the DAs to make copies of the data available to the Commonwealth Minister through the Joint Authority.

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is the key instrument aboard the satellites Terra (EOS AM-1), launched on 18 December 1999 and Aqua (EOS PM-1), launched on 4 May 2002. MODIS views almost the entire surface of the Earth every day, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands over a 2330 km swath. MODIS data will improve the understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. ACRES has been acquiring MODIS data since April 2000 and December 2002 from TERRA and ACQUA satellites respectively. Registered users can download this data free of cost from ACRES web site.

Geoscience Australia is responsible for the definition of Australia's maritime boundaries. To assist in this task National Mapping has developed the Australian Maritime Boundaries Information System (AMBIS). AMBIS 2001 is a data product, derived from AMBIS, providing access to the data for Australia's Territorial Sea Baseline (TSB) and maritime zones. AMBIS 2001 data comprises the TSB and the outer limits of each zone, together with quality attributes. Base points that generate the zone boundaries are supplied in separate files and an extensive user guide provides useful background information. All data coordinates are supplied in the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA 94) which is effectively identical to the WGS84 datum. National Mapping is committed to the maintenance of the AMBIS data to ensure it reflects the changing nature of Australia's coastline and hence the various maritime zone limits. To this effect, a newly revised AMBIS 2001 product (version 1.1) has been released in October 2001. This new version incorporates additional treaty information, additional data in the vicinity of Swains Reef in Queensland, an improved representation of the TSB, several other minor corrections, a wider range of formats and simplified attribute tables.

These data are the time series seismograph, hydroacoustic and infrasound data recorded from Australian National Seismograph Network (ANSN) observatories in Australia, islands in the Pacific, Southern and Indian Ocean's and the Australian Antarctic Territory. ANSN observatories include facilities operated by Geoscience Australia in collaboration with other international agencies. These data are acquired for the purpose of the detection and location of earthquakes and tsunamigenic events within the Australian continent and its surrounds. The dataset is also used to meet a subset of Australia's obligations to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) to fulfil Australia's commitment to nuclear explosion monitoring. The seismic waveform data records seismic events to allow for the detection, location estimation (position and depth) and magnitude of earthquakes of magnitude of 3.0 or greater anywhere in Australia. Seismic (Digital). Seismograms (Physical plots (paper & film) and Digital Scans).

Compilation of data for the MINLOC database began in 1989 and now contains location data for mineral occurrences in Australia. Location data includes co-ordinates, name of occurrence, and commodity(ies). All data points are referenced. This dataset is a snapshot at the "Ending Date" of the current database entries.

Collection of mineral and meteorite specimens derived from Geoscience Australia (GA) surveys, donations, purchases and bequests, some of which are held for Australian National Museum. Sample are displayed in GA foyer, National Museum of Australia, Miners Hall of Fame in Kalgoorlie, Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET) and Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (APPEA) and in several other organisations. Co-located is a teaching set of rocks and minerals used by the education centre, the 'Crown Jewels' large ore/rock specimens, off-cuts from building stone used in the construction of Parliament House, and presentation boxes of rock or mineral specimens given to GA staff in Australia and overseas.
