Regional Gravity Traverse from Quilpie to Roma, Queensland

A 1960 regional gravity traverse connecting Quilpie and Roma pendulum stations shows a difference about 1 milligal greater than the pendulum measurements. The results are not interpreted in detail, but low gravity values generally correspond to thicker sediments. This dataset provides foundational geophysical data for understanding subsurface geology in Queensland.

Use Cases

• Calibrating regional gravity models based on pendulum station measurements.
• Estimating sediment thickness by correlating low gravity values.
• Supporting geological mapping and resource exploration in Queensland.

Strengths

• Cross-platform presence on data.gov.au indicates established importance.
• Provides a specific, measured gravity difference of about 1 milligal.
• Originates from Geoscience Australia, an authoritative national organization.

Limitations

• Column names and data structure are unknown, limiting direct usability.
• The description states results are not interpreted in detail.
• Metadata for size, row count, license, and author is consistently missing across all platform entries.
