Australian Geological Survey Journal Volume 14 Issue 4

Volume 14, issue 4 of the Australian Geological Survey Organisation journal contains eight peer-reviewed scientific articles. The articles cover diverse geological topics including granite and gabbro field relationships, groundwater quality assessments, and palynostratigraphy. The issue was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the field relationships of granite, gabbro, and migmatite described in the Lamboo Complex article for regional geological mapping.
• Using the palynostratigraphic data on dinoflagellates, spores, and pollens from the Bookpurnong Beds for biostratigraphic correlation and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
• Referencing the preliminary groundwater quality overview for the Northern Territory to establish baseline hydrogeochemical conditions.
• Studying the ages of Proterozoic granites in the Georgetown Inlier to date regional tectonothermal events and refine geological timelines.
• Examining the Cretaceous ammonite specimens from Papua New Guinea for taxonomic classification and paleobiogeographic studies.

Strengths

• Contains eight distinct, peer-reviewed scientific articles providing detailed primary research.
• Covers a wide temporal range from the Proterozoic to the Miocene-Pliocene across multiple geological studies.
• Provides specific geographic coverage for studies in Western Australia, northeastern Australia, New South Wales, the Murray Basin, and Papua New Guinea.

Limitations

• The dataset is a collection of published PDF/HTML articles, not structured data, limiting direct computational analysis.
• Sample size and specific data metrics (e.g., row counts, measurement counts) are not provided within the description.
• The temporal coverage is inconsistent across articles, with each study focusing on a different geological period and location.
