GA-0352: High Resolution Bathymetry Grids from Gippsland Basin Survey

Geoscience Australia conducted a marine seismic survey (GA-0352) over poorly defined areas of the Gippsland Basin from April 5th to April 24th, 2015. The survey aimed to acquire industry-standard precompetitive 2D seismic, Multi-beam echo-sounder, and sub-bottom profiling data to assess the basin's CO2 storage potential. This dataset includes all bathymetry data collected during the survey, available for free download.

Use Cases

• Assessing CO2 storage reservoir potential based on sequence stratigraphic constraints mentioned in the description
• Identifying indicators of natural hydrocarbon or fluid seepage to evaluate seal integrity
• Supporting marine geological mapping based on high-resolution bathymetry grids
• Enhancing sequence stratigraphic studies in the Gippsland Basin

Strengths

• Data collected using industry-standard precompetitive 2D seismic, MBES, and SBP methods
• Survey conducted over a specific 20-day period in April 2015
• Data is available for free download from the Geoscience Australia website

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes, limiting one potential application
