Layer 02 Base of Cenozoic surface

Surface produced for the Great Artesian Water Resource Assessment (GABWRA) by Geoscience Australia ( http://www.ga.gov.au). This surface was created for 3D visualisation of the Base of Cenozoic sequence. It was used in Figure 3.1 of Ransley TR and Smerdon BD (eds) (2012) Hydrostratigraphy, hydrogeology and system conceptualisation of the Great Artesian Basin. A technical report to the Australian Government from the CSIRO Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment. CSIRO Water for a Healthy Country Flagship, Australia.

The surface is available in the following formats

1. GOCAD surface (.ts)

2. ESRI grid

3. ASCII grid (.grd)

Use limitations:

1. GOCAD surface requires program capable of reading GOCAD *.ts (triangulated surface) files

2. ASCII grid data requires re-interpolation by end-user resulting in minor differences to accompanying GOCAD *.ts surface
