Palynological analyses from four fully cored boreholes in the central west Murray Basin provide a biostratigraphic framework for geological factors related to groundwater. The study, augmented by analysis from other boreholes, was published by Geoscience Australia. It covers sediments from the Early Cretaceous to the Middle Miocene, focusing on the Geera Clay aquitard and Renmark Group aquifers.
Niue Island is a 259 km² raised coral atoll where the classical Ghyben-Herzberg freshwater lens does not exist. Electrical resistivity probes indicate the freshwater layer thickness varies from 40-80 m in the island's center to 50-170 m beneath the former atoll rim, decreasing to zero within 500 m of the coast. The data, from Geoscience Australia, includes findings from drilling, gravity, and magnetic surveys, with aquifer tests indicating a safe long-term pumping rate of about 8 l/s.
2800 km of bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles cover approximately 110,000 km² of the eastern Indian Ocean's Argo Abyssal Plain. The data, from Geoscience Australia, reveals the tectonic and sedimentary history from the Late Jurassic to the present, including newly identified grabens and sediment thicknesses up to 1.2 km. Analysis correlates sedimentary sequences with Ocean Drilling Program sites and identifies periods of non-deposition between 37-16 million years ago.
Volume 11, Issue 1 of the BMR journal contains 12 scientific articles published by Geoscience Australia. The articles cover topics including earthquake risk mapping in Tasmania, a century of seismic data for New South Wales, and Permian marine fossils from eastern Australia. The journal issue was last updated on the data_gov_au platform on 2026-03-25.
Approximately 6,000 km of 2D seismic data was acquired over the Capel and Faust basins in late 2006 and early 2007 by Geoscience Australia. This record details the interpretation of that seismic data, which was supplemented by multibeam bathymetry and gravity and magnetic data acquired in 2007. The digital interpretations are released in workstation formats like GeoFrame and Kingdom.
Late Triassic to Cainozoic geological samples dredged from the northern Exmouth Plateau in water depths of 2000-5600 meters by research vessels R. V. Sonne and R. V. Rig Seismic. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia, includes detailed petrography and microfacies analysis defining seven major lithofacies associations. It covers the geological history from the southeastern margin of the Tethys ocean to the formation of the Argo Abyssal Plain.
Geoscience Australia modeled five natural hazards for the Rockhampton Regional Council under current and future climate conditions. Outputs include a technical report, hazard maps, and digital spatial data covering tropical cyclone wind, bushfire, storm tide, coastal erosion, and sea-level rise. The project was funded by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Grants Program to evaluate urban planning practices.
The northern Houtman Sub-basin is an under-explored offshore region of the Perth Basin, Western Australia. Geoscience Australia used new seismic reflection data from 2014–15 to reassess its tectonic evolution, structural architecture, and petroleum prospectivity. Interpretation enabled mapping of the Moho, basement, and major sequences, and the creation of a 3D geological model covering the survey area.
Geoscience Australia Data published a study on the marine geology of the Huon Gulf region, New Guinea. The description details the morphology of the Solomon Sea, including the New Britain Trench over 8000 metres deep, and the structure of the continental shelf south of Lae. Seismic reflection profiles reveal the shelf's composition of deltaic deposits and the formation of submarine canyons.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological bulletin describing the Surat Basin in eastern Australia. The document details 2500 meters of Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments, their depositional environments, and structural history. It includes 1974 reserve estimates of 51 billion cubic meters of gas and 31 million cubic meters of oil, and notes considerable coal reserves.
A collection of results from version 1.85 of a 4 km resolution hydrodynamic model for the Great Barrier Reef. The model was forced with ocean boundary data from BlueLink OceanMAPS and atmospheric data from ACCESS-R, incorporating 22 tidal constituents and 22 river boundaries. It was published for reference in 2016 but contains known salinity errors due to incorrect rainfall forcing.
High-resolution, real-time measurements of non-refractory aerosol composition, including nitrate, ammonium, sulfate, organics, chloride, and sea salt, from the RV Investigator voyage IN2024_V01. The voyage, part of the Multidisciplinary Investigations of the Southern Ocean (MISO) project, was conducted from 2 January to 5 March 2024, focusing on ocean-atmosphere interactions in the Southern Ocean.
Recent geological mapping, shallow drilling, and geophysical reassessment provide new information on the Lander Trough's rock sequences and structure. The report distinguishes three rock sequences beneath superficial material, including a thick (up to 800 m) Cambrian-Ordovician wedge that upgrades the area's petroleum potential. This data was published by Geoscience Australia and last updated on 2026 03 25.
2013-2017 daily estimates for meteorological variables and soil moisture at COSMOS-UK monitoring network sites. The dataset includes temperature range, humidity, precipitation, radiation, wind speed, potential evapotranspiration, and soil moisture content across four depth layers. It was produced by the Environmental Information Data Centre using the CHESS and JULES models.
Nauru Island's karstified limestone hosts a thin freshwater layer over a thick brackish water mixing zone where salinity increases gradationally to seawater at about 70 meters below sea level. Hydrochemical data, likely from Geoscience Australia, shows groundwater evolves from HCO3-Ca-Mg type to seawater, with saturation indices for carbonate minerals like dolomite and calcite increasing with salinity. The dataset distinguishes between open and closed system chemical evolution trends based on the partial pressure of CO2.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a paleoenvironmental analysis of the Murray Basin from the Tertiary to the early Pleistocene. The description details vegetation shifts from rainforest to open woodlands and changes in precipitation, with specific events like the Nothofagus phase. It examines the relationship between these changes, marine transgressions, and the historical absence of dryland salinity.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a study of the Early Cretaceous non-marine volcaniclastic Eumeralla Formation in the Otway Basin. The analysis identifies four basin-wide lithostratigraphic units and interprets their depositional environments, from coal swamps to high-energy stream channels. The dataset, last updated on 2026-03-25, includes interpretations linking sedimentation to Aptian-Albian sea-level changes and intrabasinal volcanism.
NOAA's historical hurricane data spans 182 years, from 1842 through 2024. This feature layer, sourced from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS), includes storm positions, intensities, and attributes. It is hosted by the Myanmar Information Management Unit and was last updated in March 2026.
Evidence from earthquake focal mechanisms and in-situ stress measurements indicates substantial horizontal compression across the Australian continent. The dataset includes reliable focal mechanism determinations from eight earthquakes since 1967 and in-situ measurements from multiple sites, including a 200 km north-south traverse near the Meckering and Calingiri epicenters. Data was collected by Geoscience Australia Data, with the record last updated on 2026-03-25.
Geoscience Australia Data provides stable isotope and chemical data for thermal waters and volcanic exhalations from the Rabaul caldera in Papua New Guinea. The dataset includes D/H and O18/O16 ratios, anion ratios, and trace metal contents used to investigate the origin of geothermal fluids. It was last updated on 2026-03-25.
