Seven global soil property surfaces, including soil-carbon density and total nitrogen density, are provided at a 5 x 5 arc-minute resolution. This dataset is a southern African subset of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme - Data and Information Services (IGBP-DIS) global product. Data is stored in ASCII GRID format for use with ARC INFO and other geospatial tools.
Geoscience Australia manages large amounts of data for Australia's marine zone, including bathymetry and petroleum acreage boundaries. The agency uses innovative 3D flythroughs and video editing to integrate raster and vector geospatial data into multimedia products. A paper examines four case studies where these techniques communicated marine information to a wide audience.
Gippsland, Victoria, Australia is the focus of this detailed stratigraphic study of Tertiary marine sequences. The information was obtained from scout drilling by Victorian and Commonwealth Governments and wildcat drilling by private companies. The results are presented by the Australian Ocean Data Network and have implications for regional stratigraphy and oil exploration.
A report by Geoscience Australia examines the petroleum prospectivity of the northern marine region of Australia, a possible location for marine parks. The assessment covers three geological provinces: the Timor Sea, the Arafura Sea, and the Gulf of Carpentaria. The report was produced for the Department of the Environment and Water Resources and other stakeholders.
Late Mesozoic and Tertiary sediments cover a 100,000 sq km offshore region west of Tasmania, primarily within the Sorell Basin. The bulletin assesses petroleum prospectivity using well and seismic data concentrated in the King Island and Strahan Sub-basins. It also discusses the regional geology, basin development, and environmental features of the marine setting.
Hydro‑Québec's dataset provides hourly records of electricity production and consumption in Quebec, updated annually. The data is audited and submitted to the Régie de l'Énergie du Québec. Files include detailed calculations for gross production, plant consumption, and electricity received at interconnections.
Geoscience Australia's evaluation of shale gas and oil potential in the Georgina Basin, a ~325,000 sq. km sedimentary basin in south-central Australia. The assessment, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, focuses on Middle Cambrian source rocks and uses methodology from the United States Geological Survey. It relies on updated stratigraphy, tectonic history, petrography, geochemistry, and petroleum systems modeling.
12 samples from three transects near the Auchencat Burn mine in Moffat, Scotland, describe soil and waste chemical properties. The dataset includes total metal concentrations, exchangeable copper, loss-on-ignition, and pH measurements. It was authored by Francis Brearley and last updated on June 2, 2026.
SiIGsol-100m maps document the spatial evolution of six key soil properties across non-urbanized land in southern Québec. These 100-meter resolution values were simulated by combining point observations with remote-sensing covariates using automated learning methods. The data, provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec, is available in six depth layers and was last updated in April 2026.
55 soil landscape map units for the Australian Capital Territory, created by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. The GIS product provides locations, codes, and names for each unit, derived from existing and new mapping using aerial photography, satellite imagery, and field checking. Detailed spreadsheets and reports are available for additional information.
A natural seeps study integrates remote sensing, geophysical, acoustic, photographic, and geochemical techniques to investigate hydrocarbon migration. The research identified three areas of seepage on the southern flank of the Ashmore Platform and provided geochemical evidence of thermogenic liquid hydrocarbons. The dataset likely contains findings from this integrated survey, published in Marine and Petroleum Geology in 2017.
A study dataset from figshare explores the effects of environmental enrichment type and genetic strain on anxiety and chronic stress in broiler chickens. The data, last updated in May 2026, includes observations from six broiler strains with differing growth rates, housed with either an A-frame hut or a perforated platform. It was authored by Leonie Jacobs and is shared under a CC0-1.0 license.
Canada's frontier lands are covered by 31 prescribed regions for the Environmental Studies Research Fund (ESRF), which sponsors environmental and social studies for oil and gas decision-making. The dataset includes geospatial boundaries, historical levy tables, and maps illustrating regions where levies no longer apply due to territorial devolution. Natural Resources Canada administers this data, which was last updated in April 2026.
A 2013 conference presentation abstract details Australia's petroleum exploration history, noting a shift back to onshore basins for shale and tight gas. The onshore basin area under exploration license nearly doubled from 2010 to 2012. Geoscience Australia and state partners are undertaking new assessments across several basins.
120 oil samples from offshore Western Australia were analyzed by the Australian Ocean Data Network to provide ultraviolet fluorescence emission spectra. The laboratory data, collected using a 266 nm excitation wavelength, are compatible with Airborne Laser Fluorosensor surveys. This report concludes the first stage of a multi-client study aimed at correlating sea surface hydrocarbon anomalies with known oil sources.
A multi-disciplinary geological study maps the spatial and temporal distribution of Jurassic to earliest Cretaceous source rocks in the Browse Basin. The research integrates sequence stratigraphy, palaeogeography, and geochemical data to understand hydrocarbon accumulations. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Geoscience Australia Data updated the petroleum systems model for the Browse Basin, offshore Western Australia, using molecular, isotopic, and biomarker datasets. The analysis redefines four petroleum systems and details major gas accumulations, including Ichthys with an estimated 12.8 trillion cubic feet of gas and 527 million barrels of condensate. This work was published on May 14, 2026.
ODNL Penola No 1 Well was drilled by Oil Development N.L. to a depth of 4985 feet between February and May 1961. The well log describes a sequence of Oligocene to probable Upper Jurassic marine and non-marine rocks, including Gambier Limestone and Compton Conglomerate, encountered while testing the Coonawarra subsurface structure. Minor gas showings were found, but no commercially significant hydrocarbons were observed.
Geoscience Australia conducted a multi-disciplinary study reassessing petroleum prospectivity in the Browse Basin offshore Northwest Australia. The analysis integrated updated biostratigraphy, well log analysis, seismic interpretation, and geochemical studies for seven Cretaceous supersequences from the late Tithonian to Maastrichtian. This work identified three main Cretaceous stratigraphic play types and four Mesozoic petroleum systems through burial history and petroleum systems modeling.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a dataset from a 2014 study of a surface CO2 leak at a research site in Qinghai, China. The data includes soil gas and soil flux surveys conducted over an eight-day period to characterize the distribution and source of the leak. The study estimated a total CO2 emission rate of 649-1015 kgCO2/d and analyzed soil gas composition and carbon-13 isotopes.
