Geoscience Australia Data provides a dataset on crustal mass deficiency (CMD) across Australia and nearby marine areas, derived from seismic refraction surveys. The data includes CMD values ranging from about 13 to 21 kt/m^2 on land and 15 to 17 kt/m^2 in marine regions, calculated using corrections for elevation and free-air gravity. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-30.
Geoscience Australia Data provides geochemical data for Ordovician volcanic rocks in the Wyalong area of New South Wales. The data indicates these rocks, known as the Narragudgil Volcanics, accumulated in an oceanic mid-ocean ridge or back-arc basin setting. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-30.
An extended abstract presented at the Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference in 2019 integrates structural architecture, sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geochemistry. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this study mapping the spatial and temporal distributions of Triassic source rocks on the central North West Shelf.
276 kilometers of continuous seismic reflection profiles from inter-reef areas of the Capricorn Reefs. The data, from Geoscience Australia, identifies five reflectors, with three being widespread, and interprets them as erosional surfaces. The dataset was last updated on April 30, 2026.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Johns Hopkins University jointly collected water quality data for the Chesapeake Bay region. This dataset appears on multiple government and scientific data platforms, indicating its established use. The most recent platform update was recorded in March 2026.
NASA collected water quality data near the Big Bend Seagrasses Aquatic Preserve in Florida. The dataset includes measurements related to ocean chemistry, optics, and temperature. It is hosted on multiple government platforms, indicating its established use.
SMEX02 Aircraft Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer (PSR) Data, Version 1 includes brightness temperature (Tb) and soil moisture measurements. The dataset is produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Metadata update dates conflict between platforms, ranging from 2002 to 2026.
The dataset represents Australia's surface hydrology at a national scale. It includes natural and man-made geographic features such as watercourse areas, swamps, reservoirs, and canals. These polygon features topologically connect with hydrology line features to form a complete flow path network for the entire continent.
A project dataset from Geoscience Australia, last updated on 2026-04-30, focusing on coastal dune aquifers in the Mid North Coast region. It addresses pressures from urbanisation and tourism on groundwater supplies, highlighting risks like seawater intrusion and ecosystem impacts from over-extraction. The data is presented in PDF and HTML formats.
Over 6000 meters of sediment is interpreted in the deepest pockets of these marine basins. This dataset contains 3D gravity models derived from a 2006/07 seismic and potential field survey conducted by Geoscience Australia. The report details the tools and process developed to integrate 3D gravity mapping with traditional seismic interpretation workflows.
Roebuck and Offshore Canning Basin Biozonation and Stratigraphy Chart No.14 is a biostratigraphic reference chart from Geoscience Australia. It uses fossil index species to define biozones for correlating sedimentary rock successions. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-30.
NASA's CAR FIREACE dataset provides satellite observations for studying Arctic cloud-radiation feedbacks. The data focuses on cloud properties, surface characteristics of sea ice, and their impact on the surface energy budget. It was last updated on March 13, 2026.
NASA's 2011 ECO-3D mission captured bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) measurements over diverse forests. The CAR instrument aboard the NASA P-3 aircraft collected this data, which is directly traceable to satellite missions like MODIS, MISR, and ICESat-2. This data set provides critical observations for understanding vegetation 3D structure and its response to climate and management.
A marine seismic reflection survey, Gippsland Basin Infill 2D Marine Seismic Survey - GA0352, was undertaken on the offshore southern margin of the Gippsland Basin. The survey was funded by the Australian Government's Department of Industry, Innovation and Science and acquired by Geoscience Australia to investigate potential sites for CO2 geological storage. The dataset consists of acquisition and processing reports in PDF and DOCX formats.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological study of the 'Geera Clay equivalent', a regressive marine unit within the Renmark Group. The document discusses sandy clays deposited during the Oligocene to Middle Miocene transgression in the Murray Basin, their lateral fluvio-lacustrine equivalents, and associated marine dinoflagellate and pollen biostratigraphy. The analysis proposes a correlation for the Late Miocene Mologa weathering surface with a global sequence boundary.
Geospatial data from Geoscience Australia documents grooved surfaces cut by glacial ice in the Grant Group rocks of the Grant Range. The orientation of grooves and sedimentary structures indicate ice motion from the south-southeast, suggesting ice sheets extended 400 km from the Pilbara Block into the Canning Basin. These features confirm the existence of large continental ice sheets in Western Australia during the Late Palaeozoic glaciation.
Geoscience Australia evaluated the Gage Sandstone and South Perth Shale for long-term CO2 storage as part of the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan. The assessment identified widespread fault reactivation and seismic anomalies potentially indicating hydrocarbon seepage. The study highlights spatial variability in seal quality and fault reactivation history for both petroleum exploration and CO2 storage.
Core samples and groundwater from bores at Tresco in northern Victoria have been analyzed for palynology and chemistry. The data originates from Geoscience Australia and was last updated on 2026-04-30. It describes the chemical evolution of an aquifer from fresh water to saline due to brine pulses between 400,000 and 18,000 years B.P.
Bathymetry data was collected from 22 February to 13 April 1996 during a transit from Fremantle to Port Hedland, Australia. The dataset consists of 32-bit geotiffs with a resolution between 128 and 210 meters, processed from SeaBeam 2000 sonar data. The survey was conducted by Bishop Museum and UC San Diego aboard the R/V Melville, with data processed using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software.
Australian coastal waters are the focus of this dataset, which contains sub-bottom profiler data collected for carbon capture and storage (CCS) environmental monitoring. The data originates from an Edgetech 2000-DSS instrument, capable of imaging in water depths up to 2000 meters. It supports research into measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) for CCS projects.
