Western Australia Radiometric Grids from 2018 Federal and State Surveys

Western Australia radiometric grids derived from Geoscience Australia's national map. The data integrates Federal and State government surveys with a flight line spacing of 500 metres or less, along with selected open-file company data. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.

Use Cases

• Analyze regional geology by interpreting radiometric signal patterns across Western Australia.
• Integrate radiometric data with other geoscientific layers for mineral prospectivity mapping.
• Use the 500-metre or less flight line spacing to assess data resolution for local geological studies.

Strengths

• Data is integrated from authoritative Federal and State government sources.
• Acquisition specifications include a consistent flight line spacing of 500 metres or less.
• Dataset is actively maintained, with a metadata update recorded in March 2026.

Limitations

• Specific data dimensions, row counts, and column features are not provided in the input.
• The primary file formats (WMS, ArcGIS Map Service) are for visualization, requiring GIS expertise for analytical use.
