Australian Rock Properties Database with Hydrogeological Data

Geoscience Australia's Rock Properties database stores scalar and vector petrophysical property measurements for rock and regolith specimens. The data collection includes hydrogeological data and links to samples, field sites, and boreholes. It is sourced from all states and territories of Australia.

Use Cases

• Constraining geological models based on petrophysical property measurements.
• Improving groundwater models based on linked hydrogeological data.
• Relating geophysical survey data to geology using rock property measurements.
• Analyzing spatial trends in rock properties across Australian states and territories.

Strengths

• Data sourced from all states and territories of Australia, providing national coverage.
• Includes both scalar and vector petrophysical properties, offering diverse measurement types.
• Links to related entities like samples, field sites, and boreholes for contextual analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-06-09 12:23:29.654450.
