Surface Hydrocarbon Geochemistry in Southeastern Australian Basins

Southeastern Australia's Gippsland, Eastern Otway, and Torquay Sub-basins are the focus of this geochemical dataset. It is a legacy product published on data_gov_au by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with a last updated date of 2026-06-04. The dataset likely contains measurements of light hydrocarbons from a marine research context.

Use Cases
