  • In 2014, the first version of the DOI minting software was produced,allowing machine to machine minting of DOIs. Written in Java, it accessed the GeoCat database for metadata, sent that to DataCite, and reinserted the returned DOI back into the database.

  • An archive of data held in the original Corporate Data Store managed by a combination of GeoCat and GeoMet. It is envisaged that the data should be examined and either properly managed and catalogued or discarded. It was archive in 2010

  • Discover the wonders of earth science through student programs, teacher professional development sessions and classroom resources from Geoscience Australia.

  • Australia is a country of diverse communities and environments. At any time of the year, it is possible to have simultaneous bushfires raging in the west, widespread flooding in the east and tropical cyclones threatening landfall in the north. These natural disasters have a significant impact on Australia’s communities, economy and the environment. Although we cannot prevent natural disasters, having a better understanding of the exposure to these events can inform more effective prevention, preparedness, response and recovery (PPRR) decision-making across all levels of government. Exposure refers to the elements at risk from or natural and man-made hazard events. Knowing who and what is at risk is imperative for the role of Emergency Management Australia (EMA), within the Attorney General’s Department, to administer the Australian Government's financial assistance for response and recovery during major natural hazard events. Lacking spatial expertise, EMA commissioned Geoscience Australia (GA) to enhance their event reporting with improved situational awareness mapping. The aim was to support their decision-making process with innovative, timely and efficient access to fundamental nationally-consistent spatial data and disaster event information. GA addressed this requirement by designing an Exposure Report – a streamlined yet detailed snapshot of exposure information for any area of interest across Australia. The Exposure Report is generated by consolidating a range of national fundamental datasets to extract relevant attributes and present the information in a timely, concise and easily accessible report. The automated process quickly aggregates information for a variety of standard administrative boundaries or hazard-specific footprints. It includes important exposure information such as estimated population and demographic indicators, buildings, business and infrastructure asset counts, reconstruction costs, and identifies agricultural areas, commodities and their value. The customised report provides the information EMA requires in a way that can be readily accessed and interpreted to make timely and informed emergency management decisions. The request and delivery of the report are also integrated into EMA’s incident management system to simplify the coordination, access and accountability between government departments. GA has enhanced the Australian Government’s ability to prioritise response and recovery assistance by improving the access to detailed exposure information in a timely manner. EMA now has ready access to consistent baseline exposure information for any area across Australia, leading to not only better-informed response and recovery but also to planning, preparedness and mitigation initiatives to build more resilient communities.

  • The Lord Howe Rise Project is a collaborative research to better understand the geology of the central Lord Howe Rise undertaken by Geoscience Australia and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).

  • This document details the methods and results of the project Adelaide LiDAR Classification and Derived Products¿ performed by RPS for Geoscience Australia in 2013. Lineage and Accuracy Statements for ANZLIC metadata documents for each of the project deliverables are included. Airborne LiDAR data was acquired over Adelaide in September 2008 and North Adelaide in September 2011. Differences in the level of classification reduced the ability to integrate the data into an accurate, seamless and consistent coastal DEM suitable for detailed modelling the potential impacts of coastal inundation or riverine flooding. The objective of this project was to reclassify both the 2008 and 2011 point clouds to ICSM Level 3 and derive hydro flattened 1m bare earth DEMs and; 0.25m cartographic contours, all inline with the ICSM LiDAR Acquisition Specifications. Figure 1. Adelaide LiDAR Reclassification 2012 overview map The LiDAR The LiDAR was provided as tiled LAS files. RPS did not apply any vertical or horizontal adjustments to the LiDAR and is unable to comment on the spatial accuracy of the point cloud. The deliverables were: Classified ICSM Level 2 and Level 3 point clouds in LAS format 1 metre DEMs in ESRI Binary grid format 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape format Break lines in ESRI Shape format. This report All files were named according to the ICSM file naming specifications.

  • Following the recommendations from the UNCOVER post-summit technical workshop on cover-thickness in 2014, Geoscience Australia (GA) and its collaborative partners have carried out extensive benchmarking of various geophysical techniques and inversion methods for estimating cover-thickness over drill sites.

  • Digital Earth Australia (DEA) will build on the globally recognised innovation, the Australian Geoscience Data Cube; winner of the 2016 Content Platform of the Year at the Geospatial World Leadership Awards. DEA translates almost 30 years of Earth observation satellite imagery into information and insights about the changing Australian landscape and coastline, providing a ground-breaking approach to organising, analysing, and storing vast quantities of data. From sustainably managing the environment to developing resources and optimising our agricultural potential, Australia must overcome a number of challenges to meet the needs of its growing population in a time of increased climate variability. DEA will deliver a unique capability to process, interrogate, and present Earth observation satellite data in response to these issues. It will track changes across Australia in unprecedented detail, identifying soil and coastal erosion, crop growth, water quality, and changes to cities and regions. The following products provide examples of how, by providing easy access to free and open Earth observation data, DEA will unlock innovation and capability across government, industry, and the research community.

    Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This Tara Tap, Naracoorte Central - SADM Road Gravity (P195551) contains a total of 87 point data values acquired at a spacing of 800 metres. The data is located in SA and were acquired in 1955, under project No. 195551 for Department of Mines and Energy South Australia (SADME).
