A collection of mining and explotation tenements supplied by the individual state and territory bodies. Loaded monthly to an Oracle database from shapefiles given to Geoscience Australia.

Datasets purchased by GA from BoM to study wind speed instrument bias (see Record 2011/23)

The National Broadcasting Studios dataset presents the spatial locations; in point format, of all known broadcasting studios within Australia.

From 1995 to 2000 information from the federal and state governments was compiled for Comprehensive Regional Assessments (CRA), which formed the basis for Regional Forest Agreements (RFA) that identified areas for conservation to meet targets agreed by the Commonwealth Government with the United Nations. These 5 CDs were created as part of GA's contribution to the SE Queensland CRA. CD1 contains ArcView Legends and Projects, data coverages, shapefiles, all documents and reports and associated maps and figures. CD2 contains various edited versions of covers and shapefiles, original data supplied by custodians, and staff workareas. CD3 contains Landsat, Magnetics etc. images. CD4 contains DEM etc. CD5 contains integration data, miscellaneous ArcInfo grids, and ArcInfo graphic files.

Alkaline rocks of Australia - Subset of Rockchem whole-rock database release 3. Contains 937 analyses of alkaline rocks from Australia.

This folder contains WindRiskTech data used in preliminary stages of the National Wind Risk Assessment. The data are synthetic TC event sets, generated by a statistical-dynamical model of TCs that can be applied to general circulation models to provide projections of TC activity. Output from two GCMs is available here - the NCAR CCSM3 and the GFDL CM2.1 model. For each, there are a number of scenarios (based on the SRES scenarios from AR4 and previous IPCC reports) and time periods (the time periods are not the same for the A1B scenario). For each mode, scenario and time period, the data are a set of 1000 TC track files in tab-delimited format contained in the huur.zip files in each sub-folder. The output folder contains the output of running TCRM (pre-2011 version) on each of the datasets.

Between October 2008 and February 2009, Geoscience Australia undertook two major surveys off the coast of Western Australia. Areas of interest included the Mentelle and northern Perth Basins, the Southern Carnarvon Basin, the southern Exmouth Sub-basin (Northern Carnarvon Basin) and the Wallaby Plateau. These surveys collected a range of data, including industry-standard seismic reflection data and gravity and magnetic data. In addition to the new data collected, Geoscience Australia has reprocessed existing open file 2D seismic data within the survey area. These data are available for purchase. Please complete the order form on the downloadable information sheet and return to Geoscience Australia.

Australia's National Oil-on-the-Sea Identification Database (NOSID) contains organic geochemical data on a reference set of 30 oils that is used to characterised (or fingerprint) an oil. The data on these oils have been produced from a variety of analytical methods including isotope, UVF, GC and GC-MS (biomarker) analyses. The NOSID database and the Oil Identification Reference Kit are the products of collaboration between the Geoscience Australia (GA), the Australian Government Analytical Laboratories (AGAL) and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA).
