Statement

The data in this web service describes geophysical surveys (air, land, and marine), the datasets derived from those surveys, and the methods used for delivery of those datasets. This includes metadata for all surveys conducted or managed by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor agencies, as well as data and surveys supplied by State and Territory geological survey agencies.


The data is delivered from a relational database at Geoscience Australia (GEOPHYS_SURV), which supersedes the old ARGUS database.
