This is an extract from the OZTemp database, an updated and improved version of the AUSTHERM05 borehole temperature database previously described by Chopra and Holgate (2005). OZTemp currently contains 5513 individual wells and 17 247 temperature and/or temperature gradient data records.

The collection includes 17,247 measurements of temperature and temperature gradients collected down 5513 individual wells. This information formed the basis for the 'OZTemp Interpreted Temperature at 5km Depth' image of Australia <b>Value: </b>These observations are used to assess heat flow which can be used to infer deep geologic structure, which is valuable for exploration and reconstructions of Australia's evolution <b>Scope: </b>Nationwide collection corresponding to accessible boreholes and published measurements
