South Australian Gulf and Yorke Cenozoic Basins Hydrogeological Inventory

Australian Ocean Data Network provides a hydrogeological inventory for eleven Cenozoic basins in South Australia's Gulf and Yorke regions. The dataset contains descriptive attributes grouped into themes including location, geology, hydrogeology, groundwater management, and land use. It was last updated on 2026-06-05.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and aquifer characteristics based on described sediment types and basin structures.
• Analyze the relationship between land use, industry, and groundwater management based on the described thematic attributes.
• Study the tectonic and depositional history of the region based on the described basin formations and sediment sequences.
• Assess environmental impacts on groundwater resources based on the described surface water and environmental features.

Strengths

• Thematic grouping covers 11 distinct topics from geology to land use, suggesting detailed attribute coverage.
• Describes 11 separate basins with specific geological contexts, including the well-studied Saint Vincent Basin.
• Includes sediment thickness data ranging from less than 50 meters to approximately 600 meters.

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.
