This web service delivers metadata for onshore active and passive seismic surveys conducted across the Australian continent by Geoscience Australia and its collaborative partners. For active seismic this metadata includes survey header data, line location and positional information, and the energy source type and parameters used to acquire the seismic line data. For passive seismic this metadata includes information about station name and location, start and end dates, operators and instruments. The metadata are maintained in Geoscience Australia's onshore active seismic and passive seismic database, which is being added to as new surveys are undertaken. Links to datasets, reports and other publications for the seismic surveys are provided in the metadata.

Many countries around the world, including developing countries, have carried out geochemical surveys of their territory. The data and information layers that result from these surveys have been put to a multitude of beneficial uses, such as discovering mineralisation, improving the land-use decision-making process, delineating natural or anthropogenic risks to plants, animals and humans, and better rehabilitating contaminated sites. In Australia, although there have been attempts to start this in the past, we are yet to carry out a national geochemical survey. The obstacles that were previously seen as unsurmountable included cost and decision on what to sample. Borne out by experience elsewhere and results of pilot projects in south-eastern Australia, I believe that ultra-low-density sampling of overbank sediments all over Australia can rapidly and cost-effectively deliver a national geochemical atlas that will underpin positive outcomes in the exploration and mining, environmental, agricultural, forestry, recreational, and health and well-being sectors.
