Abstract

Abstract: The Tasman Frontier region is a vast submerged continental fragment of over 3,000,000 sq km between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia. It hosts a number of unexplored sedimentary basins, some of which may share a common geological origin with the Taranaki and Gippsland basins, where petroleum production is established. The Tasman Frontier database is a compilation of all digital seismic reflection data that can be made publicly available. The database contains c. 100,000 km of seismic lines that have been modified to common segy format with uniform header information so that they can be easily loaded into a computer workstation. The project is a collaborative initiative between GNS Science, Geoscience Australia and Service Géologique de Nouvelle-Calédonie. GNS Science Report 2012/01, which contains the database as a supplement, can be obtained from GNS Science (gns.cri.nz). The report outlines the exploration history and geological setting of the region, gives a technical description of the database, and specifies licence terms and registration instructions for users.
