Description
Geoscience Australia Data provides a hydrogeological inventory for the Clarence-Moreton Basin. The dataset contains descriptive attributes grouped into themes like location, demographics, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. It describes a sedimentary basin up to 4000 meters thick, formed during the Middle Triassic, with details on coal deposits and overlying volcanic rocks.
Use Cases
Model groundwater flow and availability based on described hydrogeological features.
Assess environmental impacts of coal mining based on described coal measures and geology.
Study sedimentary basin evolution based on described depositional history and rock sequences.
Plan land use and industry development based on described surface water and environmental attributes.
Strengths
Dataset is structured around defined thematic groups including location, hydrogeology, and land use.
Provides specific geological details, such as a sedimentary thickness of up to 4000 meters and volcanic rock thicknesses up to 900 meters.
Identifies specific coal measures and mining locations, such as the Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures and mines at Commodore and New Acland.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
