Datasets

The mesac Open Data Portal datasets contain detailed records of seismic surveys and geochemical data, and they are made available here to industry, researchers and the public.

  • Tarcoola Regolith

    Regolith map of the greater Tarcoola area of the Central Gawler region (MALBOOMA, TARCOOLA and KINGOONYA 1:100 000 map sheets). Mapping was based on the 1:100 000-scale geology layer (SARIG) using the RTMAP scheme (after Pain et al, 2007). The...

  • Solid Geology: Neoproterozoic - Ordovician faults

    An interpretation of Neoproterozic - Ordovician geological faults for South Australia. As these faults are largely hidden below younger sediments and soil, the dataset is synthesised from subsurface drillhole and geophysical data, combined with...
      Dataset

  • Palaeodrainage - Neogene

    An interpretation of Neogene palaeodrainage for South Australian Tertiary palaeodrainage systems, which are marked by Neogene fluvial sediments. Those sediments and channel systems were interpreted from NOAA and ASTER Night-time Thermal images;...

  • Induration mixed calcareous and gypsiferous, South Australia

    Induration of regolith material (in-situ and/or transported) has and is still occurring as part of South Australia's weathering history mainly by the introduction and precipitation of silica, iron oxides, carbonates and sulphate (gypsum). The...
