The Canberra 1:100 000 Geological Sheet covers about 2500 km2 of hilly, upland terrain in the Australian Capital Territory and southeastern New South Wales. The bedrock comprises Ordovician to Silurian sediments and acid volcanics which have been invaded by several generations of Silurian intrusions. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-05-05.
Use Cases
- Map geological formations based on the described bedrock composition.
- Analyze the distribution of Ordovician to Silurian sediments and acid volcanics.
- Study the relationship between multiple generations of Silurian intrusions and the surrounding terrain.
Strengths
- Covers a defined area of about 2500 km2.
- Describes bedrock composition including specific geological periods (Ordovician to Silurian).
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.
