Tasmania Basin Hydrogeological Inventory Covering 30,000 Square Kilometers

30,000 square kilometers of onshore Tasmania are covered by this hydrogeological inventory for the Late Carboniferous to Late Triassic Tasmania Basin. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via data.gov.au, contains descriptive attribute information grouped into themes like geology, hydrogeology, and land use. It was last updated on 2026-05-04.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow and aquifer properties based on described rock types and stratigraphic units.
• Assess land-use and environmental impacts on groundwater based on the described thematic attributes.
• Study basin evolution and geological history based on the described lithostratigraphy and major events like dolerite intrusion.

Strengths

• Covers a significant spatial area of approximately 30,000 square kilometers.
• Describes a detailed geological sequence with up to 1500 meters of sedimentary rocks divided into distinct stratigraphic units.
• Groups information into multiple relevant themes including hydrogeology, groundwater management, and environment.

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 as a PDF, which may hinder direct computational analysis.
