The Australian-Indonesian collaboration in earthquake science aimed to address the knowledge gap revealed by the 2004 Sumatra earthquake. The program supported technical capacity-building and produced a modern earthquake hazard map for Indonesia, laying a foundation for sustainable risk reduction. The work is described in a Distinguished Geoscience Australia Lecturer series talk from May 2018.
Satellite-derived bathymetry and seafloor habitat classification maps for the shallow waters of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Marine Park. The data was processed by EOMAP using proprietary software and a physics-based inversion method, providing a 2-meter horizontal spatial resolution for depths up to 25 meters. This project was conducted for Parks Australia - Indian Oceans Territory to establish an environmental baseline for long-term monitoring and management.
130,000 square kilometres of the Darling Basin in western New South Wales are described in this hydrogeological inventory. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, groups descriptive attributes into themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. It details sedimentary rocks over 8,000 m thick, formed from the Late Silurian to Early Carboniferous periods, and covers structures like the Menindee and Bancannia Troughs.
The Otway Basin hydrogeological inventory is a dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network, last updated in April 2026. It contains descriptive attribute information for spatial groundwater features, grouped into 11 themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The dataset covers the Otway Basin, an elongated sedimentary basin of approximately 150,000 square kilometres on Australia's south-east continental margin.
Southwest Western Australia's wave-dominated estuaries are examined for surface sediment and water column nutrient concentrations. The dataset likely contains measurements for 12 estuaries with sediment loads ranging from 0.2 to 10.8 kg m-2 year-1, exploring relationships between sediment composition, weathering, and water quality. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Seismic reflection data from the Wilkes Land and Terre Adelie margins in East Antarctica reveals two major sedimentary basins containing over 9 km of sediment. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which identifies four seismic megasequences bounded by basement and unconformities. The data was last updated on 2026-04-16.
Australian Clarence-Moreton Basin data contains descriptive attributes for spatial groundwater features. The dataset groups information into themes including location, demographics, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
10,000-year daily datasets of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration combine observed and palaeo-climatic data. Researchers at the University of Adelaide and University of Newcastle generated this data for Regional Water Strategies. Climate variables include rainfall, Morton's evapotranspiration variants, Penman-Monteith FAO56, and maximum/minimum temperature.
A collection of eddy covariance measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere in a Banksia woodland ecosystem 70km north of Perth, Western Australia. The site was established in June 2011 by CSIRO and is now managed by Edith Cowan University. Measurements include fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat, along with ancillary atmospheric and soil data.
NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water provides a stochastic climate dataset for the Macquarie region. It contains 10,000-year daily simulations of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration, generated using observed data from 1889–2018/2024 combined with palaeo-climatic data. The dataset is structured as ZIP files containing CSV data, metadata PDFs, and quality assurance documents.
Aeromagnetic and seismic reflection data reveal the complex basement architecture of an ocean-continent transform boundary off western Tasmania. The data, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, permits detailed mapping of reactivated fault systems and deep sedimentary basins. Insights from this frontier petroleum province draw comparisons to other transform margins like the Côte d'Ivoire-Ghana region.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides data on ice drainage changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica, during the late Neogene. The dataset describes flow pattern changes of the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf system, including the deposition of a trough mouth fan and compositional shifts around 1.1 million years ago. Age control is derived from an Ocean Drilling Program hole, indicating most fan deposition predates the Brunhes-Matuyama Boundary (780,000 years BP).
Data from 50 sonobuoys were recorded during the 2006/07 GA302 seismic survey for Geoscience Australia's New Oil initiative. The dataset includes interpreted P-wave velocity estimates for sedimentary layers, gravity and magnetic anomaly data, and high-quality seismic reflection records. Preliminary analysis identified four distinct seismic reflection patterns and velocity layers ranging from 1.9 to 5.3 km/s, with sediment thickness estimated to reach 5 km in some areas.
NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 (OCO-3) was deployed to the International Space Station in May 2019. The instrument uses three high-resolution spectrometers to measure reflected sunlight, providing precise atmospheric carbon dioxide data. This dataset contains Version 11 meteorological parameters interpolated from a global assimilation model for each sounding.
Particle trajectory files simulate the 10-day backward atmospheric transport influencing greenhouse gas concentrations at Arctic receptors above 45°N from 2016 to 2019. Data originates from the ORNL_CLOUD organization and integrates observations from flux towers, aircraft flask samples, and the OCO-2 satellite. This dataset extends the Carbon in Arctic Reservoirs Vulnerability Experiment (CARVE) research.
Lord Howe Rise, a submerged plateau within Australian marine jurisdiction, is the focus of this bathymetry dataset. Geoscience Australia and JAMSTEC collected multibeam data covering 62,360 km² during a 2016 seismic survey to assess potential deep-sea drilling sites. Eight bathymetry grids with 50 to 80-meter resolution were produced from the shipborne 12 KHz sonar system.
A 1961 seismic refraction survey conducted at dam sites on the Mersey River. The survey was requested by the Hydro-Electric Commission of Tasmania and is documented by Geoscience Australia. Data is available in PDF and HTML formats.
This release contains flux tower measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere in a semi-arid eucalypt woodland, processed using PyFluxPro. The data includes gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity and Ecosystem Respiration. The site is a secondary re-growth forest with an average canopy height of 25m, managed by the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
Water Modelling-Palaeo Stochastic Climate Data-Lower North Coast and Hunter is a 10,000-year daily dataset of rainfall and potential evapotranspiration generated by researchers at the University of Adelaide and University of Newcastle. The data combines observed records with palaeo-climatic information and is used in Regional Water Strategies. It is made available by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water to support transparency, research, and planning.
