Petrography and microfacies data from dredged geological samples collected from the northern Exmouth Plateau margin. The dataset likely contains analyses that define seven major lithofacies associations and 14 microfacies types from the Late Triassic to Middle Jurassic. Samples were obtained by research vessels R.V. Sonne and R.V. Rig Seismic in water depths between 2000 and 5600 meters.
5,030 km² of geological mapping and geochemical data from the southern Lachlan Fold Belt in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The description details a complex geological history spanning from the mid-Ordovician to the Quaternary, including sedimentation, volcanism, and deformation events. This dataset is published by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in April 2026.
Geoscience Australia's report describes velocity data from marine seismic survey GA302 conducted in the summer of 2006/07. The survey aimed to support frontier petroleum exploration by improving sediment thickness estimation confidence in the Capel and Faust Basins. The work reviews seismic reflection data, sonobuoy refraction data, and stacking velocities from processing.
Over 1800 high-resolution still images document seafloor benthic communities in the Mertz Glacier region of East Antarctica. Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division collected the imagery during 75 successful camera deployments in January 2011. This dataset provides a post-calving benchmark for monitoring environmental change.
AGSO Journal volume 15, issue 3 contains nine peer-reviewed research articles on Australian geology. The collection includes studies on cleavage classification, Archaean gold mineralisation, and landscape evolution. Geoscience Australia Data published this volume, which was last updated on the platform in April 2026.
Geoscience Australia Data provides geological, geochemical, and heatflow data from the description.
The Lander Trough in the southern Wiso Basin, Northern Territory, is described through recent geological mapping, stratigraphic drilling, and geophysical reassessment. The data distinguishes three rock sequences beneath superficial material, including Late Palaeozoic, Cambrian-Ordovician, and Proterozoic units, with thicknesses up to 800 meters. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data, with a metadata update timestamp of 2026-04-20.
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea. The dataset includes sediment thickness measurements, P-wave velocity layers, and Moho depth estimates, published by Geoscience Australia. The data was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Jiri Dolezal's dataset, published on figshare in April 2026, contains data from a four-year study (2020–2023) on the impact of European mistletoe on oak tree growth. It includes continuous 15-minute dendrometer measurements of oak trees across age classes, canopy positions, and infection statuses, paired with air temperature, soil temperature, and soil moisture data. The study quantifies cambial phenology, seasonal infection-effect curves, and climate-growth correlations to determine when parasite impacts are greatest.
A report from Geoscience Australia detailing the biogeochemical properties of water and sediments from two dry-season surveys in Keppel Bay and Casuarina Creek. The data addresses ecological changes in macrotidal estuaries linked to agricultural activities in northern Queensland. The report includes sections on methods, sampling strategy, water column observations, sediment properties, and analysis of nutrient pathways.
Niue Island is a raised coral atoll with an area of 259 km² and a freshwater layer that varies from 40-170 meters thick, but disappears within 500 meters of the coast. The data, from Geoscience Australia, includes results from drilling, gravity and magnetic surveys, and aquifer tests. It describes a unique hydrogeological system where the classical freshwater lens does not exist due to fissures in the limestone.
Geoscience Australia Data provides the BMR Journal of Australian Geology and Geophysics, Volume 11, Number 1, last updated on 2026-04-20. The volume contains 12 articles covering topics such as earthquake history, seismic risk mapping, petroleum potential, and paleontological studies. The content is focused on Australian geology and geophysics, including regions like New South Wales, Tasmania, and offshore areas.
Geoscience Australia Data provides hydrochemical data from a groundwater-seawater mixing zone on Nauru Island, a karstified dolomitic limestone island in the central Pacific Ocean. The dataset describes the chemical evolution of fresh HCO3-Ca-Mg groundwaters as they mix with seawater, including saturation indices for carbonate minerals like dolomite, calcite, and aragonite. It was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Beach ridges at Keppel Bay, central Queensland, Australia, preserve a record of sediment accumulation from the historical period back to middle Holocene times. The dataset, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, contains information on six accretional units deposited in periods of rapid progradation approximately 1500, 1000, 450 and 230 years before present. It was last updated on 2026-04-10.
Geoscience Australia's study reassesses the tectonic evolution and petroleum prospectivity of the northern Houtman Sub-basin using seismic reflection data acquired in 2014–15. The interpretation enabled mapping of the Moho, basement, and major depositional sequences, and the creation of a 3D geological model covering the survey area. This work has significantly reduced exploration risk in this frontier region of the Perth Basin.
Seismic refraction studies conducted near boreholes at Bewick, Hayman, and Heron Islands on the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset includes 124 profiles completed on six reefs within the Capricorn/Bunker Reefs group, correlating seismic discontinuities with geological unconformities. Data was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in April 2026.
Geoscience Australia and CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Research jointly commissioned the 'Arcturus' atmospheric monitoring station in central Queensland in July 2010. The station measures concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour, isotopic signatures of CO2, and meteorological parameters like wind speed and direction. Data is intended as a prototype baseline for monitoring areas targeted for commercial-scale carbon capture and geological storage.
The Tasman Sea off Tasmania was surveyed in 1994 during AGSO Cruise 125 using the French research vessel L'Atalante. The cruise collected swath-mapping and reflection seismic data, producing bathymetric maps at scales from 1:1,000,000 to 1:100,000, including sonar imagery and contour maps. Data were recorded on transits from Auckland to Adelaide and during a detailed survey off the Tasmanian coast.
A quantitative analysis of Australian coastal waterways using the salinity ratio Sf/So to classify five major environmental types. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia, likely contains parameters for estimating freshwater residence time, a proxy for anthropogenic input flushing. The record was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Over 90% of the Arafura Basin lies offshore in the shallow Arafura Sea, with its sedimentary record spanning more than 250 million years. This dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network provides a hydrogeological inventory for the basin, grouping descriptive attributes into 11 themes including geology, groundwater, and land use. The data was last updated in April 2026.
