Gravity and Magnetic Data for the Capel and Faust Basins, Australia

Australian Ocean Data Network provides a record of gravity and magnetic data sources covering the remote offshore Capel and Faust basins on the Lord Howe Rise. The documentation describes the processes applied to level the collected geophysical data. This dataset was last updated on 2026-06-17.

Use Cases

• Model subsurface geology based on gravity and magnetic anomaly data.
• Assess hydrocarbon potential in offshore basins based on geophysical survey data.
• Calibrate regional geophysical models based on leveled and processed data.
• Study tectonic evolution of the Lord Howe Rise based on potential-field data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative Australian Ocean Data Network.
• Documentation describes specific leveling processes applied to the data.
• Covers a specific and remote geographic region: the Capel and Faust basins.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au.
