  • 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.

  • MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is the key instrument aboard the satellites Terra (EOS AM-1), launched on 18 December 1999 and Aqua (EOS PM-1), launched on 4 May 2002. MODIS views almost the entire surface of the Earth every day, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands over a 2330 km swath. MODIS data will improve the understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. ACRES has been acquiring MODIS data since April 2000 and December 2002 from TERRA and ACQUA satellites respectively. Registered users can download this data free of cost from ACRES web site.

  • 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.

  • These data are the time series seismograph, hydroacoustic and infrasound data recorded from Australian National Seismograph Network (ANSN) observatories in Australia, islands in the Pacific, Southern and Indian Ocean's and the Australian Antarctic Territory. ANSN observatories include facilities operated by Geoscience Australia in collaboration with other international agencies. These data are acquired for the purpose of the detection and location of earthquakes and tsunamigenic events within the Australian continent and its surrounds. The dataset is also used to meet a subset of Australia's obligations to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation (CTBTO) to fulfil Australia's commitment to nuclear explosion monitoring. The seismic waveform data records seismic events to allow for the detection, location estimation (position and depth) and magnitude of earthquakes of magnitude of 3.0 or greater anywhere in Australia. Seismic (Digital). Seismograms (Physical plots (paper & film) and Digital Scans).

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • The Geofabric version 2.1 product suite comprises six products: - Geofabric Surface Network - Geofabric Surface Cartography - Geofabric Surface Catchments - Geofabric Groundwater Cartography - Geofabric Hydrology Reporting Catchments - Geofabric Hydrology Reporting Regions These products are supported by a collection of documentation including a product guide, product schemas,data product specifications, data dictionaries, tutorials and a view of the product relationships. This documentation contains information that is current at the time of the release of the Geofabric V2.1 products. Documentation is available at http://www.bom.gov.au/water/geofabric/documentation.shtml.

  • This Dataset has been collected over many decades for datum development and local monitoring purposes. It consists of measured angles, distances and height differences between monumented survey marks.

  • Descriptions of and measurements from field sites and samples from geological (including regolith) surveys. <b>Value: </b>Used to constrained surface geology, important in resource exploration and understanding physical environment. <b>Scope: </b>Mapping surveys mainly in Australia, but also in Antarctica, Oceania and south-east Asia.

  • AMSIS is a web based interactive mapping and decision support system that improves access to integrated government and non-government information in the Australian Marine Jurisdiction. AMSIS contains over 80 layers of information including maritime boundaries, bathymetry, physical and environmental information, legal interests, fisheries and shipping that has been sourced from Geoscience Australia, other Australian government agencies and some industry sources. AMSIS also contains the offshore mineral locations data that was used to create the Offshore Minerals Map. AMSIS has been developed using standards to support interoperability enabling integration with the National Oceans Portal and other on-line initiatives. Geoscience Australia is working with other agencies and organisations to add additional information. Information in this application should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for commercial and operational decisions. AMSIS should not be used for navigational purposes.
