Officer Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with 11 Attribute Themes

525,000 square kilometres of Australia's Officer Basin are described in this hydrogeological inventory. The dataset contains descriptive attributes grouped into 11 themes, including geology and groundwater management, for areas bounded by spatial groundwater features. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network as a PDF document.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow based on the described structural zones and sedimentary sequences.
• Analyze historical depositional environments based on the described Neoproterozoic to Late Devonian rock sequences.
• Assess groundwater management potential based on the thematic attributes for surface water and land use.
• Study basin evolution based on the described orogenic events and structural history.

Strengths

• Covers a vast area of approximately 525,000 square kilometres.
• Describes a thick sedimentary sequence ranging up to 10,000 metres in depth.
• Attributes are organized into 11 distinct thematic groups.

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 only in PDF format, which may hinder computational analysis.
