This folder contains the reports and supporting digital datasets from four geological studies published by SRK (later FrOGTech) consultants, between 2001 and 2007. Known as the OZ SEEBASE Compilation (Structurally Enhanced View of Economic Basement), the studies interpreted the three dimensional character of Australian sedimentary basins and their basement.

The 'Major crustal boundaries of Australia' map synthesizes more than 30 years of acquisition of deep seismic reflection data across Australia, where major crustal-scale breaks have been interpreted in the seismic reflection profiles, often inferred to be relict sutures between different crustal blocks. The widespread coverage of the seismic profiles now provides the opportunity to construct a map of major crustal boundaries across Australia. Starting with the locations of the crustal breaks identified in the seismic profiles, geological (e.g. outcrop mapping, drill hole, geochronology, isotope) and geophysical (e.g. gravity, aeromagnetic, magnetotelluric) data are used to map the crustal boundaries, in map view, away from the seismic profiles. For some of these boundaries, a high level of confidence can be placed on the location, whereas the location of other boundaries can only be considered to have medium or low confidence. In other areas, especially in regions covered by thick sedimentary successions, the locations of some crustal boundaries are essentially unconstrained. The 'Major crustal boundaries of Australia' map shows the locations of inferred ancient plate boundaries, and will provide constraints on the three dimensional architecture of Australia. It allows a better understanding of how the Australian continent was constructed from the Mesoarchean through to the Phanerozoic, and how this evolution and these boundaries have controlled metallogenesis. It is best viewed as a dynamic dataset, which will have to be further refined and updated as new information such as seismic reflection data becomes available.

The 1:2.5M scale geology of Australia data documents the distribution and age of major stratigraphic, intrusive and medium to high-grade metamorphic rock units of onshore Australia. This edition contains the same geological content as the previous edition, but is structured according to Geoscience Australia's 2010 data standards and is provided in additional digital formats. The dataset was compiled to use at scales between 1:2.5 million and 1:5 million inclusive. The units distinguished/mapped mainly represent stratigraphic supergroups, regional intrusive associations and regional metamorphic complexes. Groupings of Precambrian units in the time-space diagram are generally separated by major time breaks; Phanerozoic units are grouped according to stratigraphic age i.e. System/Period. The time-space diagram has the added benefit that it provides a summary of units currently included on the themes. The method used to distinguish sedimentary and many volcanic units varies for each geological eon as follows: <ul><li>Cainozoic units are morphological units which emphasise the relationship of the sedimentary fill to the landscape.</li> <li>Mesozoic units are regionally extensive to continent-wide time-rock units which emphasise the System of Period(s).</li> <li>Palaeozoic units are stratotectonic units that emphasise either the dominant System or Period(s) or the range of Periods.</li> <li>Proterozoic units are commonly regional stratotectonic units - separated by major time breaks and split into the Palaeoproterozoic, Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic Eras - which are generally unique to each cratonic region.</li> <li>Archaean units are regional lithological units grouped into broad time divisions.</li> <li>Metamorphic units are lithological units which emphasise the metamorphic facies and timing of the last major metamorphic event. </li> <li>Igneous units are regional units which emphasise the dominant lithology and are grouped into broad time divisions.</li></ul>

Manila Lidar Project 2011 Resupply of data from Fugro Spatial. Lidar coverage updated for seperate classification of water and bare earth. This dataset will be superseded with a new surfaces recognising water classification and hydro flatening.

Three data sets containing locational and attribute information for places respectively on the Commonwealth, National, and World Heritage Lists determined by the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities - Heritage Division. Places subject to confidentiality agreements are not included in these data. The Commonwealth Heritage List is a list of natural, Indigenous and historic heritage places owned or controlled by the Australian Government The National Heritage List has been established to list places of outstanding heritage significance to Australia. It includes natural, historic and Indigenous places that are of outstanding national heritage value to the Australian nation. The World Heritage List contains sites selected on the basis of ten cultural and natural criteria under the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.

Polgons representing Hydrogeological basement (base of the Jurassic-Cretaceous sequence) units in contact with base of the Great Artesian Basin. Compiled by Bruce Radke and used in conjuction with 'Great Artesian Basin hydrogeological units directly overlying the basement (base of the Jurassic-Cretaceous sequence)' to represent the hydraulic interconnection between the Great Artesian Basin and basement units.

The Digital Atlas of Australian Soils (the 'Digital Atlas') is a digital version of the set of ten maps, compiled by K H Northcote et al. and published in 1960 - 68 by CSIRO and Melbourne University Press in Melbourne, known as the 'Atlas of Australian Soils, Sheets 1 to 10, with explanatory data'.

The Petrography Database contains 29 701 descriptions of thin sections of rock and other geological material from Australia. The location is stored with each sample along with geological descriptions, including the host stratigraphic unit and lithology. Most samples have been collected by AGSO field parties.

The sixth edition of the Airborne Geophysical Survey Index presents a summary of the essential specifications of over 890 surveys held in the National Airborne Geophysical Database.
