Description
Bowen Basin data contains descriptive attributes grouped into themes like Location, Geology, Hydrogeology, and Groundwater Management. The dataset, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes a basin with up to 10,000 meters of sedimentary rock and over 100 hydrocarbon accumulations. It was last updated on April 28, -2026.
Use Cases
Model groundwater flow and aquifer systems based on the described hydrogeology and surface water themes.
Analyze the relationship between coal deposits and geological history based on the described stratigraphy and basin evolution phases.
Assess land use and environmental impacts on groundwater resources based on the described environment and land use themes.
Study sedimentary basin evolution and tectonic history based on the described three main phases of basin development.
Strengths
Thematic organization covers 11 distinct groups including Geology, Hydrogeology, and Groundwater Management.
Describes a geologically significant basin with up to 10,000 m of sedimentary rock and over 100 hydrocarbon accumulations.
Associated with a spatial Hydrogeology Index map, suggesting geospatial context.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data is provided in PDF format, which may hinder direct computational analysis.
