Lineage
This web service is served from an Oracle database using Geoserver. The web service is a near-live feed from Geoscience Australia’s Field Geology Database containing locations and geological descriptions from field mapping surveys. The database has over 700,000 geological observations derived mainly from field sites and boreholes associated with Geoscience Australia's mapping programs in Australia and Antarctica since the 1960's with additional contributions from universities and State Geological Surveys. Data in the database are updated regularly as new mapping surveys are conducted.
