The Surface Hydrology Points (Regional) dataset provides a set of related features classes to be used as the basis of the production of consistent hydrological information. This dataset contains a geometric representation of major hydrographic point elements - both natural and artificial. This dataset is the best available data supplied by Jurisdictions and aggregated by Geoscience Australia it is intended for defining hydrological features.

Outcrop geology was obtained directly from the following 1:250 000 map sheets: Marble Bar, Nullagine, Port Hedland and Yarrie. This dataset consists of both raster and vector data. Raster data which is unsigned 8 bit integer, can be viewed in Arc/Info, ArcView, MapInfo, ERMapper, ERViewer and ArcExplorer. Raster data which is 4 byte real data, can only be viewed and manipulated with an image processing package such as ERMapper.

An integrated package comprising geological, structural, geophysical, geochronological and geochemical data. The GIS encompasses the outcropping and covered portions of Palaeoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic rocks straddling the NSW-SA border (the Broken Hill, Euriowie, Olary, Mount Painter and Mount Babbage Inliers). The GIS features recent data collected by the Broken Hill Exploration Initiative.

These data are a digital representation of information depicted on the printed maps of Seigal, Hedleys Creek, Carrara Range Region, Lawn Hill Region, Riversleigh, Constance Range Region, Mount Oxide Region, Mammoth Mines Region, Myally, Alsace, Coolullah, Kennedy Gap, Prospector, Quamby, Mount Isa, Mary Kathleen, Marraba, Cloncurry, Oban, Duchess Region, Malbon, Kuridala Region, Selwyn Region, Dajarra and Ardmore 1:100 000 Geological Series and Mount Drummond 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by AGSO, the Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) and Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS). Data present include geological polygons (litho-stratigraphic units), linear structural features (faults, dykes, folds, trends, lineaments etc), and point features (mines, structural points etc). Polygons have a range of attributes extracted from each individual map including unit name, era, period and lithological description, while lines and points are feature coded according to the AGSO publication 'Symbols Used On Geological Maps' (BMR 1989). A standard look-up table of AGSO geological codes and associated descriptions is available (see ADDITIONAL METADATA). The data has gradually evolved from elementary CAD quality data into its present topologically structured GIS format, and hence has many imperfections and inconsistencies. Data has undergone rigorous validation and testing that includes over 80 different tests.

The Oceanic Shoals survey (SOL5650, GA survey 339) was conducted on the R.V. Solander in collaboration with Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), University of Western Australia and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory between 12 September - 5 October, 2012. This dataset comprises an interpreted geomorphic map. Interpreted local-scale geomorphic maps were produced for each survey area in the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve (CMR) using multibeam bathymetry and backscatter grids at 2 m resolution and bathymetric derivatives (e.g. slope; 1-m contours). Six geomorphic units; bank, depression, mound, plain, scarp and terrace were identified and mapped using definitions suitable for interpretation at the local scale (nominally 1:10 000). Maps and polygons were manual digitised in ArcGIS using the spatial analyst and 3D analyst toolboxes. For further information on the geomorphic mapping methods please refer to Appendix N of the post-survey report, published as Geoscience Australia Record 2013/38: Nichol, S.L., Howard, F.J.F., Kool, J., Stowar, M., Bouchet, P., Radke, L., Siwabessy, J., Przeslawski, R., Picard, K., Alvarez de Glasby, B., Colquhoun, J., Letessier, T. & Heyward, A. 2013. Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve (Timor Sea) Biodiversity Survey: GA0339/SOL5650 Post Survey Report. Record 2013/38. Geoscience Australia: Canberra. (GEOCAT #76658).

These data are a digital representation of information depicted on printed maps from the Australia 1:250 000 Geological Series produced by Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO) and the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) between 1963 and 1998. The data are in a tiled format and are not seamless, although basic edgematching has been done where possible. Tiles are arranged according to the standard Australian 1:250 000 sheet breakup. The complete dataset is comprised of the 90 tiles covering the Northern Territory. Available as CD-ROM package (transfer fee A$99.00/cdrom) or free to download from http://www.ga.gov.au/minerals/research/national/thorium/index.jsp. Available in arc/info, mapinfo and microstation formats. Individual datasets contained in records #61181 - #61271

This GIS web browser contains stratigraphic information from the southern flank of the Murphy Inlier, Lawn Hill Platform and Leichhardt River Fault Trough in the Western Succession of the Mount Isa Block. The principal lithostratigraphic units covered by this dataset include the Surprise Creek Formation, Mount Isa and McNamara Groups. The images are pixilated versions of those contained on CD Records AGSO Record 1999/10, AGSO Record 1999/15, GA Record 2002/3. The data contained on the CD's is more comprehensive, at a better resolution and also contains cross sections that are not available over the web. No drill hole data is supplied in this viewer. The data compiled for this viewer was collected during the course of the NABRE, AMIRA P552 and pmd*CRC projects. The respective CD's also provide measured sections at different scales with slightly varying information available at 1:400, 1:1000, 1:2500 and 1:5000 scales. The information at each scale is slightly different. Plot files ready for printing also accompany the measured sections. Each of the measured sections contains primary observational data (grainsize, lithology, bed thickness, sedimentary structure and gamma ray curve) map-based lithostratigraphic units as shown on the 1:100,000 geological sheets, interpreted facies and sequence stratigraphic surfaces. Sections were measured using a Jacobs Staff and Abney Level and the rocks were marked in 1.5 m intervals of true thickness. Gamma ray data was collected at either 50 cm or 75 cm intervals of true thickness using hand-held Scintrex GRS 500 spectrometers that measured total gamma ray counts. A beryllium standard was used to calibrate each spectrometer. Each machine was calibrated at intervals of two to three hours. Each gamma reading was averaged over an interval of ten seconds. Outcrop discontinuities prevented the collection of stratigraphic data in a line of continuous section. As a result most of the sections present in this data set comprise a series of segments combined to form a single composite section. The single sections were all measured within a radius of several kilometres of each other. Individual sections were spliced together at prominent marker beds (outcrop tracing of strata), or by the use of overlapping gamma ray curves in conjunction with facies descriptions. Section locations shown in the web browser depict the base of each composite section. Grid coordinates for the base each composite section can be found in the header block of the appropriate section. The geological maps used in this web browser depict the approximate position of supersequence boundaries. Not all the geology for the region has been included and only the geology relevant to the measured sections has been used. The supersequences provided are based on the most appropriate lithostratigraphic boundaries and no new geological polygons have been created. It should be noted that the Torpedo Creek and Warrina Park Quartzites have been placed in the Prize Supersequence. However, we acknowledge that due to mis-mapping of these sand bodies the Torpedo Creek and Warrina Park Quartzites from the basal part of the Gun Supersequence at some locations.
