Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN)

Database to provide descriptions and images of the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network (AFGN) stations to Gravity Surveyors and the general public.


The Australian National Gravity Database (ANGD) is underpinned by the AFGN, which provides the datum for gravity surveys conducted throughout Australia. The AFGN is a network of permanently marked and documented gravity base stations which allow gravity surveys to tie their surveys to a consistent datum. Geoscience Australia maintains the Network with assistance in the form of updates from State and Territory Geological Surveys, Surveyors, and the general public.


Geoscience Australia maintains the ANGD, which contains data from gravity surveys conducted throughout Australia and its Remote Offshore Territories. These data have been sourced from within Geoscience Australia, State and Territory governments and agencies, mineral and petroleum exploration companies, universities and overseas organisations.

Statement

Data acquired from from many surveys from 1950 until present day. These surveys are dedicated surveys to establish and maintain AFGN stations. AFGN stations and and associated information is entered into a dedicated Oracle database. Changes made to the information are predominately for clarification, correcting mistakes, and adding more recent diagrams, photos, and contact information.
