Statement

SOURCE DATA:

1. 3 Second SRTM Derived Digital Elevation Model (DEM) version 1.0

2. Great Artesian Basin: Base of Cenozoic surface (Geoscience Australia data set available from www.ga.gov.au, 2013)


METHOD:

1. The base of Cenozoic surface was subtracted from the DEM to calculate thickness.

2. Thickness contours at intervals of 50m were generated using the Contour tool in the 3d analyst toolset in ArcGIS

3. Contours were then smoothed to allow display at appropriate scale.


BOUNDARY:

Surface was clipped to the Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment boundary (includes boundary of Carpentaria Basin offshore)
