AGSO Journal Volume 16: Geological Research Papers from Australia and Antarctica

Australian Geological Survey Organisation's Journal Volume 16, Number 5 contains seven peer-reviewed scientific papers. The collection was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-27. Papers cover geochemistry, zircon dating, fossil woods, biostratigraphy, and paleontology from regions including central Australia, Antarctica, and the Indian Ocean.

Use Cases

• Analyze mafic dyke swarm geochemistry and origin based on the paper about the western Musgrave Block.
• Study zircon U-Pb ages for igneous and metamorphic rocks based on the research from the northern Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica.
• Identify fossil wood types and depositional environments based on the paper about the Upper Permian Bainmedart Coal Measures.
• Conduct biostratigraphic analysis based on the paper about Rig Seismic samples from the northeastern Indian Ocean.
• Model non-marine Cretaceous rift systems based on the two-part paper about the Eumeralla Formation in the Otway Basin.

Strengths

• Contains seven distinct, peer-reviewed scientific papers.
• Covers multiple geological sub-disciplines including geochemistry, paleontology, and stratigraphy.
• Focuses on specific, well-defined geographic regions like the Musgrave Block and Prince Charles Mountains.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au.
