Geophysical survey data from the Lord Howe Rise submarine plateau in the Tasman Sea, collected by the R.V. Sonne cruise and referenced in DSDP Site 207. The dataset includes seismic profiles and interpretations of sediment-filled basins, some containing up to 4000 m of sediment, and discusses petroleum potential. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Use Cases
- Modeling petroleum trap structures based on descriptions of boundary faults and internal basin structures.
- Analyzing sediment thickness and basin geometry for resource estimation based on reported basin widths of 20-40 km and sediment depths.
- Investigating paleogeographic reconstructions for source rock presence based on juxtaposition with the Gippsland Basin.
- Assessing the impact of wave-base erosion and shallow marine environments on geological history from seismic profile interpretations.
Strengths
- Includes specific dimensional data: the Lord Howe Rise is described as 2000 km long and 300 km wide.
- Reports concrete sediment depths: some basins contain up to 4000 m of sediment.
- References specific data sources: R.V. Sonne cruise and DSDP Site 207.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
