Australian Geological Survey Bulletin Volume 11

Volume 11 of the BMR journal compiles 12 Australian geological and geophysical research papers. The publication includes studies on earthquake catalogs, continental seismic travel times, petroleum potential, and paleontological stratigraphy. It was produced by the Australian Ocean Data Network and its contents were last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing earthquake probability and macroseismic effects in Tasmania using the probabilistic risk maps and historical event catalogs.
• Mapping continental-scale seismic velocity anomalies with the teleseismic travel time residual data for the Australian continent.
• Assessing offshore petroleum resource potential in areas beyond Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone.
• Dating marine sediments using planktonic foraminifera data from the west Tasmanian margin and correlating Permian macrofossil fauna from the Bowen and Sydney Basins.
• Studying the stratigraphy and trilobite paleontology of the Upper Cambrian Kayrunnera Group in western New South Wales.

Strengths

• Contains 12 distinct research papers covering multiple sub-disciplines of geoscience.
• Includes century-long earthquake records for the Dalton-Gunning region of New South Wales.
• Provides continental-scale geophysical analysis through the teleseismic travel time map.

Limitations

• Data is presented in PDF/HTML article format, not as structured, machine-readable datasets.
• Specific sample sizes, row counts, and measurement details are embedded within narrative text.
• Geographic focus is strongly biased towards Australia and its immediate maritime regions.
