Australian Coastal Aquifer Typology for Seawater Intrusion Vulnerability

Geoscience Australia Data produced a national-scale typological framework for categorizing coastal aquifers and assessing their vulnerability to seawater intrusion. The report includes conceptual models and tabulated aquifer parameters for 28 case study areas across Australia. It was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Categorizing coastal aquifer types based on the developed hydrogeological and climatic typology framework.
• Assessing vulnerability to seawater intrusion using the tabulated aquifer parameters from 28 case study areas.
• Developing conceptual models of seawater intrusion for specific coastal settings based on the cross-sectional models.

Strengths

• Report includes analysis of 28 distinct case study areas.
• Framework is based on a characterization of Australia's diverse hydrogeological and climatic settings.

Limitations

• Data is presented in report formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML); underlying tabular data is not directly accessible.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for direct ML use.
