AGSO Cruise 149, known as BANGSS, collected marine geoscience data from Prydz Bay, the Mac.Robertson Shelf, and the Kerguelen Plateau in 1994/95. The preliminary results focus on modern sedimentary processes and the region's environmental history over the last 5 million years. This record is a post-cruise report published by Geoscience Australia.
Palynological analyses from four fully cored boreholes (Woodlands-1, Manilla-1, Piangil West-2, Hatfield-1) provide a biostratigraphic framework for groundwater geology. The study includes analysis of cores and cuttings from areas east of the main marine influence and references the previously studied Oakvale-1 sequence. Pollen assemblages contain taxa with affinities to modern tropical plant species, many of potential stratigraphic value.
This geospatial dataset tracks the occurrence and impact of Tropical Cyclone Murjan in the Bari Region of Somalia during October 2012. Produced by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC), it documents the first cyclone of the 2012 North Indian Ocean season and its effects on five specific districts. The data includes meteorological parameters such as rainfall intensity and landfall coordinates.
A recent survey by Geoscience Australia identified volcanic features including cones, flows, and sill-related features on the seafloor of the Capel-Faust region, Northern Lord Howe Rise. The data indicates at least two distinct ages of volcanism: Miocene-Pliocene (approximately 4-7 Ma) cones and older Eocene-Oligocene volcanic edifices. Analysis is based on seismic data and swath bathymetry from the ZoNÉCo 5 survey, with findings presented to the Australian Earth Sciences Convention in July 2010.
AGSO Cruise 210, conducted from 10 to 17 April 1997 aboard the R.V. Melville, collected swath-mapping data of the sea bed east and northeast of Tasmania. The survey used a SeaBeam 2000 multibeam sonar, magnetometer, and gravity meter to map seafloor morphology and character. Its aims included supporting tectonic studies, aiding the fishing industry, and planning future geological sampling.
IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC) produced this geospatial and tabular data documenting the impact of Tropical Cyclone Pawan in Somalia during December 2019. It covers the regions of Bari, Mudug, Nugaal, and Sanaag, recording 213,600 affected individuals and 31,500 destroyed structures across specific livelihood groups.
An overview report from the Australian Ocean Data Network presents two major databases on the Permian coals and coal-bearing basins of eastern Australia. The BMR database covers basin stratigraphy and structure, while the CSIRO database details coal properties, summarized in 42 plates and dozens of line drawings. The report compares an area equivalent to the Carboniferous coal basins of Europe, from Scotland to the western Soviet Union.
Late 1994 to early 1995 deep crustal seismic data acquisition project across the offshore Otway Basin in south-eastern Australia. The survey, AGSO Survey 137, aimed to determine the basin's deep crustal architecture and characterize extensional processes. Data was recorded with a 4800 m streamer, a 49-litre airgun source, and differential GPS navigation.
The Australian Ocean Data Network provides petrography and microfacies analysis of Mesozoic sedimentary and volcanic rocks dredged from the northern Exmouth Plateau. Samples were collected by R.V. Sonne and R.V. Rig Seismic cruises in water depths between 2000 and 5600 meters. The analysis defines seven major lithofacies associations and 14 microfacies types, detailing the Late Triassic to Recent geological history of the margin.
An experimental seismograph survey was conducted near Heywood in south-western Victoria during November and December 1956 by the Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics. The work was requested by Frome-Broken Hill Pty. Ltd. to test if reflections from deeper sediments could be recorded through a surface basalt layer. Several short traverses tested various surface conditions and shooting techniques, with reflections recorded from depths down to eleven thousand feet.
AGSO Cruise 125 collected swath-mapping and reflection seismic data off Tasmania and during transits between New Zealand and Australia in February-March 1994. The survey used the French research vessel L'Atalante and its SIMRAD EM12D system to produce bathymetric maps and sonar imagery. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts the cruise report, which includes maps at scales from 1:100,000 to 1:1,000,000.
Geological data for the onshore Canning Basin, a large intracratonic basin in Western Australia. The dataset describes five major periods of sedimentation from the Early Ordovician to the Cainozoic, with sequences up to 18 km thick. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au and was last updated in April 2026.
A 1961 reconnaissance marine reflection seismic survey was conducted in Exmouth Gulf and along the west coast of Western Australia by West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited. The two-boat operation produced maps of geological horizons, pre-Cretaceous structure, water depth, and time intervals between key layers. The data indicated the synclinal character of the Gulf and helped trace major fault trends and the axis of the Cape Range Anticline.
A geological reconnaissance report from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes nodular bauxite deposits observed at three localities on Manus Island. The report details the deposits' formation over volcanic rocks and recrystallised limestones, with analyses showing high available alumina content. The report was last updated on 2026-04-16.
5-second spin-averaged survey data from the FAST satellite provides electric and magnetic field measurements within the low-altitude auroral arc region. The dataset includes magnetic field power spectral densities from 10 Hz to 4 kHz on two axes and up to 2 MHz on a third axis, as well as electric field power spectral densities for the same ranges. Data collection shifts from a slow survey mode with ~0.06 s resolution to a fast survey mode with ~0.5 ms resolution upon detecting auroral electron precipitation.
Southern Australia's Great Australian Bight and Duntroon Basins contain offshore Mesozoic sediments. Palynological investigation of dredged samples from BMR Rig Seismic Cruise 66 correlates palynofloras with the Maastrichtian to earliest Paleocene Forcipites longus and Manumiella druggii zones, indicating the upper Potoroo Formation is widespread. The data, sourced via the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes evidence of depositional environments and recycled palynomorphs.
An archive from 2010 onward provides gridded files of 3-hour precipitation accumulations. Radar data measured from 1,500 meters over the Netherlands and surrounding area is corrected using data from 32 KNMI automatic rain gauges. The data is produced by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Early Cretaceous non-marine volcaniclastic sediments accumulated in the Otway Basin during the break-up of eastern Gondwana. The dataset, from the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes three major basin-wide lithostratigraphic units (Eumeralla I-III) and a fourth western unit (Eumeralla IV), interpreted as representing coal swamps, flood plains, and lake environments. The analysis is based on wireline-log data and sedimentary facies analysis of outcropping units.
Victoria provides the only well-exposed section across the southern Lachlan Fold Belt and eastern Delamerides. The dataset describes the depositional, magmatic, and structural evolution from the Cambrian to the end of the Devonian, including details on rock types, deformations, and mineral deposits. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16.
5030 km² of geological mapping in the southern Lachlan Fold Belt, covering parts of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The data details a complex geological history from the mid-Ordovician to the Quaternary, including sedimentation, volcanic activity, and deformation events. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and includes information on known mineral deposits.
