Interpreted Lava Flows in Gippsland and Otway Basins, 1:500,000 Scale

Lava flows interpreted from drill hole intersections and magnetic geophysical responses. The dataset is part of a collection of geological features for the Gippsland and Otway Basins in Victoria, Australia, produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping subsurface volcanic features based on interpreted geophysical data.
• Integrating lava flow data with other geological features like faults and dykes for basin analysis.
• Supporting mineral and petroleum exploration by providing interpreted basement geology.

Strengths

• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (SHP, GDB, TAB, etc.) for interoperability.
• Interpretation is supported by published technical reports from the Geological Survey of Victoria.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-04-09).
