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.
Manus Island in Papua and New Guinea is the subject of a geological reconnaissance report describing nodular bauxite deposits. The report details three separate surface occurrences derived from volcanic rocks, likely of Miocene or younger age, and includes chemical analyses of individual nodules. The document was published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 2026-03-25.
Two dry-season surveys of Keppel Bay and Casuarina Creek collected data on biogeochemical properties of the water column and underlying sediments. The dataset was published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated in March 2026. It was created to understand sediment, nutrient, and agrochemical pathways in macrotidal estuaries facing ecological change from agricultural activities.
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea. The dataset includes sediment thicknesses of 1 to 10 km, P-wave velocities of 6.07 km s^-1 and 6.9 km s^-1, and Moho depths ranging from 19 to 29 km. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data.
Geoscience Australia survey data identifies volcanic features like cones, flows, and sills on the seafloor of the Lord Howe Rise's Capel-Faust region. Analysis of seismic and bathymetry data reveals at least two distinct volcanic ages: Miocene-Pliocene (approx. 4-7 Ma) and Eocene-Oligocene. The data was presented at the Australian Earth Sciences Convention in July 2010.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological and geochemical dataset covering 5,030 km² in the Tantangara and Brindabella 1:100,000 sheet areas of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The data describes the region's complex geological history, including sedimentation from the mid-Ordovician to the Middle Devonian, multiple volcanic and intrusive events, and subsequent deformation. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-25.
A 2023 study of the Ramu-Markham Fault Zone near Lae, Papua New Guinea, presented at the Australian Earthquake Engineering Society Conference. The data likely contains geospatial information on fault traces, river terraces, and uplift rates to inform seismic hazard assessment. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in March 2026.
