Sediment Bores for Free Air Gravity Control in Geological Studies

A dataset of basement boreholes that have reached bedrock through sedimentary sequences, compiled by GHD for a groundwater flow study. These boreholes provide control points for interpolating Free Air (FA) gravity data. The dataset was created for the 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' report under the DEPI SAFE Project.

Use Cases

• Modeling subsurface geological structures based on borehole bedrock depth data.
• Interpolating Free Air gravity data based on borehole control points.
• Analyzing potential influences of geological structures on groundwater flow systems.
• Informing resource management and entitlement projects like the SAFE Project.

Strengths

• Data was compiled by the professional firm GHD for a specific, documented report.
• Supports multiple geospatial file formats including DWG, SHP, and GDB.
• Released under the permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
