Geoscience Australia conducted a multi-purpose basin analysis under the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan and National Low Emissions Coal Initiative. The project integrated pre-competitive data from airborne magnetic surveys, marine surveys, and geochemical analysis to assess CO2 storage potential and hydrocarbon prospectivity in the Browse Basin. Outputs include updated tectonostratigraphic frameworks, sequence stratigraphic analysis of 60 wells, and models of depositional environments, petroleum systems, and play fairways.
Yaru Yang's dataset contains parameters for the NREL 5MW wind turbine model used in a comparative study of double-rotor and single-rotor designs. The dataset is 5.5 KB in size, stored in an XLS file, and was last updated on May 11, 2026. It was created to support Computational Fluid Dynamics and Fluid-Structure Interaction simulations.
96 individual specimens of waxy bitumen were collected from beaches in South Australia and western Victoria. Geochemical analysis by the Australian Ocean Data Network identified at least five distinct oil families with inferred source facies ranging from lacustrine to marine. The data suggests these strandings likely originate from Southeast Asian crude oils transported by the Leeuwin Current.
Geoscience Australia's biophysical data provides 100% spatial coverage of Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone using multivariate statistical methods. This information, including bathymetry, geomorphology, and sediment properties, serves as a proxy for seabed biodiversity to support marine conservation planning under the EPBC Act. The dataset supports the design of a national representative system of Marine Protected Areas, with 13 already nominated for the southeast region in 2006.
Australian onshore and offshore basins are covered by this dataset providing petroleum geochemical and geological data from Geoscience Australia's Organic Geochemistry Database. The data includes spatial distributions of source rocks and derived fluids from boreholes and field sites, characterized by Pyrolysis, Organic Petrology, and molecular analyses. Interpretation of this data supports petroleum systems analysis and economic assessment of resources.
Annual modelled hillslope bare soil erosion rates for New South Wales, Australia, commencing in 2001. The data provides mean annual erosion in tonnes per hectare per year across the year range. It is published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
Western Australia's Canning Basin is the focus of a geochemical study correlating oil families and evaluating source rocks from the latest Devonian to earliest Carboniferous period. The research compares the Ungani oilfield with the Larapintine 4 oil family using aromatic hydrocarbons, saturated biomarker ratios, and stable carbon isotopes. It was published by Geoscience Australia in the journal Marine and Petroleum Geology in 2020.
The Hobart Interim Planning Scheme 2015 Overlays include geospatial data defining Electricity Transmission Corridor (ETC) zones. This dataset provides a general indication of the location of council services for planning and development purposes. It is intended to inform site-specific investigations related to infrastructure and land use constraints.
Mississippi River Delta marsh sites are the focus of this dataset, which provides input data and Python code for the NUMAR process model. NUMAR, a modification of the NUMAN model for mangroves, predicts soil accretion rates and chemical properties. The package includes model code, CSV input data, and PDF documentation for installation and execution.
The 1960s to 2013 period covers Australia's petroleum exploration history, from early onshore discoveries to a modern resurgence in unconventional resources. This dataset documents the shift from offshore Mesozoic basins, which contain most conventional oil and gas, back to onshore Paleozoic and Proterozoic basins for shale and tight gas potential. Geoscience Australia and partners conducted new assessments during a period where onshore exploration license area nearly doubled from 2010 to 2012.
Geoscience Australia's Petroleum and Marine Division produced this report containing ultra-violet fluorescence emission spectra for 120 open file western Australian oil samples. The data were collected by scanning the 280-500 nm emission response using a 266 nm excitation wavelength to evaluate aromatic hydrocarbons. This dataset is designed to enable comparison of laboratory spectra with Airborne Laser Fluorosensor survey data for hydrocarbon seep detection and source characterization.
A 2026 research report by Jorge Lucero-Alvarez models the annual energy demand and solar photovoltaic generation potential for a new residential development in Chihuahua, Mexico. The analysis establishes a quantitative benchmark for Positive Energy District viability, calculating a baseline demand of 1,536.8 MWh/year and a potential positive balance of 76.9 MWh/year after efficiency measures. The study also explores future climate scenarios, finding the positive balance would be lost by 2080 under a critical SSP5-8.5 scenario.
Soil parameters from the Harmonized World Soil Database v1.2 provide global data for modeling carbon cycles and assessing land competition. The dataset includes 27 high-resolution NetCDF files at 0.05-degree resolution and one file regridded for the Community Land Model. It is sourced from NASA and represents the nominal year 2000.
TEMPO Level 1 reference irradiance files provide solar irradiance measurements for all North-South cross-track pixels, calibrated for UV and visible bands. Level 2 files deliver formaldehyde trace gas information at a native spatial resolution of approximately 10 km². These provisional datasets from NASA are produced using a multi-step processor and retrieval approach, reaching provisional validation on December 9, 2024.
Seventy-three petroleum accumulations were documented in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, as of 30 June 1992. The report, published by Geoscience Australia, details their geological context, trapping mechanisms, and development infrastructure. Most accumulations are offshore, located in Triassic to Cretaceous sedimentary rocks within sub-basins like Barrow, Dampier, and Exmouth.
Geoscience Australia's study of the Bremer Sub-basin, a deep-water frontier area for petroleum exploration offshore southwestern Australia. The study, which commenced in 2004, aimed to determine the sub-basin's geological conditions for hydrocarbon generation and trapping, based on a regional seismic survey from 1974 and identification of Middle Jurassic-Early Cretaceous structures. No exploration wells had been drilled in the area prior to the study.
Less than one percent of Australia's crude oil has been produced from its Lower Paleozoic systems, despite the presence of widespread excellent source rocks. This text-based publication from Geoscience Australia analyzes the petroleum potential of onshore basins, focusing on Cambrian, Ordovician, and Proterozoic systems. It discusses exploration trends, geological challenges like the Alice Springs Orogeny, and the impact of new extraction technologies.
The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks initiated the Multi-Media Monitoring Study in 2015 to measure changes in neonicotinoid insecticide concentrations following restrictions on treated seeds. This dataset characterizes neonicotinoid concentrations in soil at 38 study sites across five southern Ontario watersheds. The data is part of Ontario's Pollinator Health Action Plan and is available in CSV, HTML, and PDF formats.
A geochemical analysis of dew point petroleum systems in the Browse Basin offshore Australia. The dataset likely contains detailed geochemical fingerprints, biomarker assemblages, and fluid properties for four Mesozoic petroleum systems. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in May 2026.
A study investigates the effects of long-term organic amendments on soil properties and tomato yield under continuous greenhouse cultivation.
