  • The Geology of Australia data set documents the distribution and age of major stratigraphic, intrusive and medium to high-grade metamorphic rock units of onshore Australia. It is an ongoing compilation, subject to periodic revision as additional data becomes available. The data set was compiled to use at scales between 1:2,500,000 and 1:5,000,000 inclusive.

  • Layer 10 Base of Jurassic-Cretaceous sequence 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 Jurassic-Cretaceous sequence 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.

  • Geoscience Australia`s wall map of Australia is ideal for displays and feature walls in offices, classrooms and conference rooms. The four component sheets - North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West are available individually, flat or folded, with each map 103cm x 88cm. The fully assembled size is 2m x 1.7m. At this scale 1cm on the map represents 25km on the ground. This map can be purchased from Geoscience Australia`s Sales Centre or your nearest topographic map retailer. Digital data at this scale, suitable for use in a GIS, is also available for free download. Product Specifications Coverage: Complete coverage of Australia Currency: Last revised 1998 Coordinates: Geographical Datum: AGD66 (GDA94 compliant at this scale); AHD Projection: Simple Conic on two standard parallels (18S and 36S) Medium: Paper, flat and folded copies Forward Program: Will be revised upon completion of small-scale product data revision

  • A weathering intensity index (WII) over the Australian continent has been developed at a 100 m resolution using regression models based on airborne gamma-ray spectrometry imagery and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation data. Airborne gamma-ray spectrometry measures the concentration of three radioelements - potassium (K), thorium (Th) and uranium (U) at the Earth's surface. The total gamma-ray -ux (dose) is also calculated based on the weighted additions of the three radioelements. Regolith accounts for over 85% of the Australian land area and has a major in-uence in determining the composition of surface materials and in controlling hydrological and geomorphological processes. The application of a stepwise forward multiple regression for the second model generated a weathering intensity index equation of: WII = 6.751 + ? 0.851 - K+ ? 1.319 ? Relief + 2.682 - Th/K + ? 2.590 - Dose. The WII has been developed for erosional landscapes but also has the potential to inform on deposition processes and materials. Interpretation of the WII from regional to local scales and its application in providing more reliable and spatially explicit information on regolith properties are described.
