  • The integrated spatial database of geological, geophysical, geochemical and cultural data. Provides users with means of integrating and analysing data for mineral exploration and research. The area covered by GIS encompasses Broken Hill and Euriowie Blocks and comprises six 1:100 000 mapsheets; the Corona, Fowlers Gap, Broken Hill, Taltingan, Redan and Thackaringa.

  • The Northern Australian Project online GIS, which has been chiefly designed to highlight the results of geochronological research within the project area, was first published in 2003 and updated in July 2004. GIS data reference layers include 1: 250,000, 1: 1 million, and 1: 2,500,000 geological data, regional geophysical images and a topographic map image. The geochronology and fluid inclusion points have been linked live to Geoscience Australia's OZROCKS, OZCHRON and PETROG Oracle databases. Forms display data to the user from these databases using customised query statements. Queries directed to geological layers display information derived from static ArcInfo shapefiles. The North Australia Project geochronology research has chiefly targeted the Arunta Block, Davenport Geosyncline, and the Granites-Tanami Block provinces within the project area. This map has been produced as a GeoPDF, which is an extension to the standard PDF file format viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Layers can be turned off and on to customise the view of the data, similar to using Geographic Information System tools. In addition, GeoPDF maps are georeferenced to be compatible with other coordinated geographic data. Coordinate locations and distances can be retrieved automatically. A plug-in to view GeoPDF using Adobe Acrobat Reader is available as a free download ( http://terragotech.com/solutions/map2pdf_reader.php ).

  • The Cocos (Keeling) Islands Geographic Information System (CocosGIS) is a collection of spatial data, viewing and analysis tools dealing with the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The data include orthophotography, topographic, cultural and environmental features both of the islands and the ocean immediately surrounding them.

  • The Cocos Keeling Islands Geographic Information System (CocosGIS) is a collection of spatial data, viewing & analysis tools dealing with the Cocos Keeling Islands. The data includes orthophotography, topography, culture and envrionment features of both of the islands and the areas immediately surrounding them.

  • The Christmas Island Geographic Information System (CIGIS) is a collection of spatial data, viewing and analysis tools dealing with Christmas Island, Indian Ocean. The data includes orthophotography, topographic, mining, cultural and environmental features of the island. This work is part of an ongoing service to the Territories West of the Attorney General's Department.

  • These pages comprise the National Geoscience Datasets Internet Facility which delivers AGSO clients online access to AGSO's National scale spatial geoscience information. AGSO has responsibility for the production and online access to primary geoscience information of relevance to resource issues for industry, government and the general public, provided in the form of digital datasets that cover the Australian continent and/or Australian marine jurisdictional areas. This facility will provide efficient, modern digital-era access to all the geoscience information available in current maps and associated digital databases at the best possible resolution. To add to this as new geoscience datasets are released they will become available on the National Geoscience Datasets download page and be viewable within the National datasets online GIS web mapping tool.

  • The Nauru GIS was created for both broad scale and detailed planning of rehabilitation and secondary mining. However, it also contains other datasets (e.g buildings, roads, storage tanks etc) which although are not error free may be of interest and prove useful for other purposes. The primary components for this product were to provide: ? geocorrected images (Orthophotography), ? Digital Elevation Models, ? data integration and system development ? training. This product was designed and compiled by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation on behalf of the Nauru Rehabilitation Corporation and the Nauru Phosphate Corporation, Republic of Nauru. The project commeced in November 1999, following a scoping report written in March 1999 and was completed by June 2000. This product is referred to as the Level 1 ArcExplorer GIS as described in the Scoping and Progress Reports and the final system documentation.

  • This dataset delineates political areas such as built up areas, land, ocean, pack ice and boundaries such as coastlines, city limits etc. (dataset derived from the Digital Chart of the World (DCW). Generic information on DCW data sets The primary source for DCW is the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series produced by the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The ONCs have a scale of 1:1,000,000, where 1 inch equals approximately 16 miles.The charts were designed to meet the needs of pilots and air crews in medium and low altitude en route navigation and to support military operational planning, intelligence briefings, and other needs. Therefore, the selection of ground features is based on the requirement for rapid visual recognition of significant details seen from a low perspective angle. The DCW database was originally published in 1992. Data currency varies from place to place depending on the currency of the ONC charts. Chart currency ranges from the mid 1960s to the early 1990s. Compilation dates for every ONC chart are included in the database. For more information on the Digital Chart of the World please browse the DCW website where you can download these data in VPF format. GA has converted these VPF format files to common GIS formats Arcview and Mapinfo. Available datasets include drainage, roads and railway networks, political areas and boundaries and population centres. Available for free download.
