The Surface Hydrology Points (Regional) dataset provides a set of related features classes to be used as the basis of the production of consistent hydrological information. This dataset contains a geometric representation of major hydrographic point elements - both natural and artificial. This dataset is the best available data supplied by Jurisdictions and aggregated by Geoscience Australia it is intended for defining hydrological features.

These data represent the OZCHRON database of physical age determinations of Australian rocks, and the radiogenic isotope ratios used in determining the ages. OZCHRON datasets comprise bibliographic references, analytical data and pooled results for samples derived using the Rb-Sr, SHRIMP, U-Pb, and Sm-Nd age determination methods.

The offshore seismic data consists of field, processed, and seismic navigation data. Reports of the acquisition, processing and interpretation reports plus reprocessed seismic data and reports are also held. The collection is derived from the submission of seismic data under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act and previous legislation. The Petroleum (Submerged Lands), the Offshore Petroleum, and the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGSA) requires petroleum data to be submitted to the State Designated Authority (DA). The Act(s) also require the DAs to make copies of the data available to the Commonwealth Minister through the Joint Authority.

Compilation of data for the MINLOC database began in 1989 and now contains location data for mineral occurrences in Australia. Location data includes co-ordinates, name of occurrence, and commodity(ies). All data points are referenced. This dataset is a snapshot at the "Ending Date" of the current database entries.

Please note: This product has been superseded by 50m Multibeam Dataset of Australia 2018. - This tile contains all multibeam data held by Geoscience Australia on August 2012 within the specified area. The data has been gridded to 50m resolution. Some deeper data has also been interpolated within the mapped area.

The Gazetteer of Australia is the authoritative data source providing information on the location and spelling of approved place names on the Australian mainland extending to the 3 mile marine limit, together with its external territories, except the Australian Antarctic Territory. Contains all the authorised place names covering Australia's land and offshore areas. The 2010 release consists of over 300,000 place names. The Gazetteer is compiled by the Geospatial and Earth Monitoring Division of Geoscience Australia, on behalf of the Committee for Geographical Names in Australasia (a committee of the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM)). Data is sourced from the relevant State and Territory jurisdictions (ACT, NSW, NT, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC, WA) along with various Australian Government agencies (Australian Antarctic Division, Australia Hydrographic Service, and Geoscience Australia).

Geoscience Australia has the most extensive historical aerial photography collection in terms of land coverage and time (from 1928-1996). This online catalogue provides means of easy search of the collection records. The mapping system allows users to understand what information is available and, if digitised, to preview and download the image data. The application contains a map which users can search areas, current location or an area of interest, as well as customize the search criteria (date range, film number etc). The search results list the available aerial photography or flight line diagram, and if is available for direct download for free.

The Australian Geological Provinces Database contains descriptions and polygon outlines of geological provinces of the Australian continent and surrounding marine jurisdictional area. The provinces are mapped at a nominal 1:1 million scale. The database can be interactively queried, and the results retrieved as reports and maps. Attributes include igneous, sedimentary and structural characteristics, age limits, parent and constituent units, relations to surrounding provinces, and mineral and petroleum resources.

The collection supports the compilation of national mineral resource and production statistics, and mineral prospectivity analysis. The collection includes the OZMIN database (Australian mineral deposit descriptions including geological, resource and production data); the MINLOC database (mineral occurrence locations sourced from Geoscience Australia and state and territory geological surveys); supporting GIS datasets (eg,mineral prospectivity datasets, ports, power stations); maps and reports.
