Southern Australia's lithospheric structure is modeled using teleseismic Rayleigh waves from three broadband seismic arrays. The dataset compares shear wave velocity from the lower crust to 250 km depth with isotope, xenolith, and 3D mantle resistivity data. It was published by O'Donnell et al. in 2025 and hosted by Geoscience Australia Data.
Volume 11, Issue 1 of the BMR journal of Australian geology and geophysics contains 12 scientific articles. The articles were published by researchers including McCue, Kennett, Drummond, and Taylor, covering topics like earthquakes, petroleum potential, and trilobites. The journal issue is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-06-27.
Evelin Campos Verdolin Brandão's research paper describes experimental data on polyetherimide microfiltration membranes prepared by phase inversion. The study addresses membrane properties, including pore sizes ranging from 1.2 to 10.4 µm, and performance in dead-end and tangential flow filtration of synthetic produced water, showing flux declines of 97.3% and 89.5% respectively. The work investigates pore blocking mechanisms using Hermia models and reports rejection rates higher than 95.5%.
A research study presents the first water quality model for a 36.8 km stretch of the Poti river in the semiarid region of Brazil. The dataset, created by Antônio Alves De Oliveira Filho, models dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, and thermotolerant coliforms using the QUAL-UFMG platform. Calibration resulted in mean deviations up to 20% and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficients higher than 0.75.
A 2026 technical report and spatial datasets from Geoscience Australia model natural hazards for the Rockhampton Regional Council area. The work, funded by a National Climate Change Adaptation Research Grant, assesses tropical cyclone wind, bushfire, storm tide, coastal erosion, and sea-level rise under current and a future climate scenario. Outputs include hazard maps and digital spatial data.
A 2006/07 summer survey acquired seismic velocity data over the Capel and Faust Basins on the Lord Howe Rise. The work was conducted by Geoscience Australia under the Big New Oil initiative to support frontier petroleum acreage release. The dataset likely contains processed reflection, refraction, and stacking velocity information aimed at improving sediment thickness estimation.
An examination of the Sf/So salinity ratio parameter identifies five major types of coastal environment around Australia, including runoff-dominated, seawater-dominated, and evaporation-dominated systems. The dataset, from the Australian Ocean Data Network, uses a general equation of salt and water mass balances to estimate freshwater residence time, a proxy for dissolved anthropogenic input. The inverse of residence time is presented as an important parameter for evaluating coastal water quality.
18 dredge hauls were recovered from the deepwater Gippsland Basin during the 1998 R/V Franklin Cruise FR 11/98. The study provides lithology, age, and paleo-environment information for the basin, categorizing samples into volcanics, volcaniclastics, and calcareous sediments. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Between December 2006 and January 2007, Geoscience Australia acquired approximately 6000 km of 2D seismic data in the Capel and Faust basins. In late 2007, the RV Tangaroa completed a marine reconnaissance survey, acquiring gravity, magnetics, multibeam sonar, and sub-bottom profiler data, along with seafloor samples. These datasets are designed to define the region's petroleum prospectivity and inform marine planning.
Laboratory experimental data examining the effects of temperature, salinity, and food availability on the burrowing activity of the polychaete Capitella sp. 1. The dataset also includes measurements of sediment pH and oxygen using fluorosensors to assess the effects of burrowing on marine sediment chemistry. The data was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in June 2026.
Eight earthquake focal mechanisms since 1967 and in-situ stress measurements from mines and tunnels indicate substantial horizontal compression across the Australian continent. The data includes stress magnitudes up to 23 MPa and principal stress orientations varying by region, such as north-south in eastern NSW and east-west in the west. This evidence challenges simple plate tectonic models for explaining the observed high stresses.
Model-simulated water vapour and ozone mixing ratios from 2022 to 2030, used to analyze the impact of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption. The data was generated by Xin Zhou of Chengdu University of Information Technology using the TOMCAT/SLIMCAT 3-D chemical transport model forced with ECMWF ERA5 meteorology. It includes a control simulation and several perturbed runs to quantify the longevity and ozone impacts of the injected water vapour plume.
A recent survey by Geoscience Australia identified volcanic cones, flows, and sill-related features on the seafloor of the Lord Howe Rise Capel-Faust region. Analysis of seismic data and swath bathymetry reveals at least two distinct ages of volcanism: Miocene-Pliocene (approximately 4-7 Ma) cones and older Eocene-Oligocene volcanic edifices. The data was presented at the Australian Earth Sciences Convention in July 2010.
A dataset from an open-pit mine contains 21,034 labelled event-level waveform records across five classes: microseismic, blasting, small landslide, mechanical mining, and transport vehicles. It also includes one day of raw miniSEED observational records, station metadata, and data logs. The static release was authored by 1 1 and last updated on 2026-05-19.
Geoscience Australia and CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Research commissioned the Arcturus atmospheric monitoring station in central Queensland in July 2010. The station measures concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, isotopic carbon-13, and meteorological parameters like wind speed and direction. Data from this prototype station is intended to act as a reference for monitoring carbon capture and geological storage projects.
Geospatial data from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes the marine geology of the Huon Gulf region in New Guinea. The description details features like the New Britain Trench, which is over 8000 metres deep, and the Markham submarine canyon. The data includes seismic reflection profiles and bathymetric soundings, with a last update recorded on 2026-06-27.
Early Cretaceous non-marine volcaniclastic sediments in Australia's Otway Basin record the break-up of eastern Gondwana. Wireline-log and sedimentary data discriminate four informal lithostratigraphic units, interpreted as representing environments from coal swamps to high-energy stream channels. The basin-wide extent of three lower units suggests a single, integrated drainage system persisted at least until the late Albian.
Three distinct high-energy fluvial depositional systems (A-C) are identified in the Lower Cretaceous Eumeralla Formation. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes relationships, thicknesses, and palaeocurrent data from outcrops in the eastern Otway Basin. System A contains sandstone bodies up to 70 meters thick, while System B features sandstone bodies up to 14 meters thick with thin coal beds and soil profiles.
The Australian Ocean Data Network provides a report on submarine volcanoes in the forearc region of the New Georgia Group, Solomon Islands. The description details specific volcanoes like Kavachi, Kana Keoki, and Cook, including their composition, activity, and depths. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-27.
UKCP09 provides long-term average climate data for the 1961-1990 baseline period. The dataset contains monthly averages for days with rainfall ≥ 10 mm, aggregated across 14 UK administrative regions and 23 river basins. It was produced by the Met Office with support from Defra and is promoted by the UK Climate Impacts Programme.
