Clarence-Moreton Basin Hydrogeology and Geology Inventory

A geospatial inventory of the Clarence-Moreton Basin in Australia, containing descriptive attributes grouped into themes such as location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The basin contains a sedimentary thickness of up to 4000 meters and includes coal deposits mined from units like the Jurassic Walloon Coal Measures. The dataset is provided by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and resources based on the described hydrogeological features.
• Analyze the distribution and characteristics of coal deposits based on the listed geological units.
• Study sedimentary basin evolution based on the described depositional history and thickness.
• Assess land use and environmental interactions based on the thematic attribute groups.

Strengths

• Thematic grouping of attributes into 11 distinct categories, including hydrogeology and groundwater management.
• Includes specific geological facts, such as a maximum sedimentary thickness of 4000 meters and volcanic rock thickness up to 900 meters.
• Originates from the authoritative national geological survey, Geoscience Australia Data.

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.
