  • This service represents a combination of two data products, the DEM_SRTM_1Second dataset and the Australian_Bathymetry_Topography dataset. This service was created to support the CO2SAP (Co2 Storage application) Project to create a transect elevation graph within the application. This data is not available as a dataset for download as a Geoscience Australia product. The DEM_SRTM_1Second service represents the National Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 Second product derived from the National DEM SRTM 1 Second. The DEM represents ground surface topography, with vegetation features removed using an automatic process supported by several vegetation maps. eCat record 72759. The Australian_Bathymetry_Topography service describes the bathymetry dataset of the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond. Bathymetry data was compiled by Geoscience Australia from multibeam and single beam data (derived from multiple sources), Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) Laser Airborne Depth Sounding (LADS) data, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) fairsheets, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) bathymetric model, the 2 arc minute ETOPO (Smith and Sandwell, 1997) and 1 arc minute ETOPO satellite derived bathymetry (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Topographic data (onshore data) is based on the revised Australian 0.0025dd topography grid (Geoscience Australia, 2008), the 0.0025dd New Zealand topography grid (Geographx, 2008) and the 90m SRTM DEM (Jarvis et al, 2008). eCat record 67703. IMPORTANT INFORMATION For data within this service that lays out of the Australian boundary the following needs to be considered. This grid is not suitable for use as an aid to navigation, or to replace any products produced by the Australian Hydrographic Service. Geoscience Australia produces the 0.0025dd bathymetric grid of Australia specifically to provide regional and local broad scale context for scientific and industry projects, and public education. The 0.0025dd grid size is, in many regions of this grid, far in excess of the optimal grid size for some of the input data used. On parts of the continental shelf it may be possible to produce grids at higher resolution, especially where LADS or multibeam surveys exist. However these surveys typically only cover small areas and hence do not warrant the production of a regional scale grid at less than 0.0025dd. There are a number of bathymetric datasets that have not been included in this grid for various reasons.

  • Geoscience Australia is releasing its 2013 version of the Marine Seismic Surveys Shape files and Kml files. These files have been updated to include recent openfile surveys. The spatial files have been created from a cleansed, updated collection of p190 navigation files. This navigation collection has grown from the checking of navigation submitted to the GA Repository under Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Regulations, checking of the 2003 SNIP navigation files and the digitisation of old survey track maps as required. Soon the individual p190 files will be available for download through the new NOPIMS delivery system. The collection is based on P190 navigation files which follows the UKOOA standard. Extensive industry standard metadata associated with a seismic survey is preserved in the attribute tables of these datasets. The files have been categorised into 2D and 3D seismic files. A further category contains legacy data that still requires checking. The process of adding to this navigation database and checking of legacy data is ongoing. Geoscience Australia (email - AusGeodata@ga.gov.au) appreciates being notified of any errors found in the navigation collection. The data is available in both KML and Shape file formats. The KML file can be viewed using a range of applications including Google Earth, NASA WorldWind, ESRI ArcGIS Explorer, Adobe PhotoShop, AutoCAD3D or any other earth browser (geobrowser) that accepts KML formatted data. Alternatively the Shape files can be downloaded and viewed using any application that supports shape files.

  • 1. Band ratio: (B10+B12)/B11 Blue is low gypsum content. Red is high gypsum content. Accuracy: Very Low: Strongly complicated by dry vegetation and often inversely correlated with quartz-rich materials. Affected by discontinuous line-striping. Use in combination with FeOH product which is also sensitive to gypsum. Geoscience Applications: Useful for mapping: (1) evaporative environments (e.g. salt lakes) and associated arid aeolian systems (e.g. dunes); (2) acid waters (e.g. from oxidising sulphides) invading carbonate rich materials including around mine environments; and (3) hydrothermal (e.g. volcanic) systems.

  • This map is suitable for school, office and home use as a single-sheet wall poster or as a handy reference item. The map includes more than 2000 named features as well as a gazetteer on the back of the map as an aid to locating places of interest. At this scale 1cm on the map represents 50km on the ground. Available flat (98.5cm x 84cm) or folded with cover (11cm x 23cm). Digital data at this scale, suitable for use in a GIS is also available for <a href=\https://www.ga.gov.au/products/servlet/controller?event=FILE_SELECTION&catno=61114\">free download. </a> Product Specifications Coverage: Complete coverage of Australia Currency: Last revised 2007 Coordinates:Geographical Datum: (GDA94); AHD Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic on two standard parallels (18o and 36o)

  • This is the coverage of the Australian coat of arms.

  • The grid shows the Koeppenclassification indices across Australia in the form of two-dimensional array data. The classification is based on standard 30-year period (1961-1990) rainfall and temperature grids. See Lineage for more information.

  • The twelfth edition of the Airborne Geophysical Survey Index presents a summary of the essential specifications of over 1080 surveys held in the National Airborne Geophysical Database. Include Index Maps at 1:10 million scale for magnetic, radiometric and elevation survey coverage of Australia as at 31 August 2011.

  • These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours, localities and some administrative boundaries.

  • 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.
