Officer Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological and Structural Zones

An Australian hydrogeological inventory describes the Officer Basin, one of the country's largest intra-cratonic sedimentary basins spanning approximately 525,000 square kilometres. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, contains descriptive attributes grouped into themes like location, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. It was last updated on 2026-06-05.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow based on described hydrogeological and structural zones.
• Analyze sedimentary basin evolution based on described depositional environments and geological history.
• Assess groundwater management potential based on described physical geography and land use themes.

Strengths

• Covers a vast spatial area of approximately 525,000 square kilometres.
• Describes a thick sedimentary sequence with depth up to 10,000 m and a long geological history from Neoproterozoic to Late Devonian.
• Groups descriptive information into 11 specific thematic categories.

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 in PDF format, which may complicate automated analysis.
