In May 2013, Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science collected 111 seabed sediment samples from the Leveque Shelf, Browse Basin. This dataset contains the results of grain size analysis measured by laser diffractometer. The survey aimed to support an assessment of the CO2 storage potential of the basin.
Use Cases
- Assessing seabed sediment composition based on laser-measured grain size data.
- Modeling potential CO2 storage site integrity based on seabed sediment characteristics.
- Identifying seabed habitats and biophysical features potentially associated with fluid seepage.
- Correlating seabed grain size data with deeper geological structures like faults.
Strengths
- Contains 111 analyzed seabed sediment samples.
- Data originates from a targeted marine survey (SOL5754/GA0340) conducted by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
