Using data from the six Australian continental magnetic observatories, a contour display of the rate-of-change of magnetic total intensity, F, over the continent is shown below. This provides a broad view of how F changes across Australia. The units shown on the contours are in nanoTesla per hour. The grey squares indicate the locations of the magnetic observatories. Both real-time and historic data can be displayed in this format. All maps are generated from a period of 15 minutes of observatory data and available at 15 minute intervals.
The Australian Critical Minerals Portal provides access to data, information and tools on Critical Minerals in Australia. Critical minerals are metals and non-metals vital to the well-being of global economies, yet vulnerable to disruptions in supply. This can be due to geological scarcity, geopolitical issues, trade policy or other factors. Australia has an abundance of many critical minerals essential to advanced technology applications for digital communication, clean energy, transport and defence industries.

The Australian Spatial Information System (AMSIS) is a web based interactive mapping and decision support system that improves access to integrated government and non-government information in the Australian Marine Jurisdiction. AMSIS contains over 80 layers of information including maritime boundaries, bathymetry, physical and environmental information, legal interests, fisheries and shipping that has been sourced from Geoscience Australia, other Australian government agencies and some industry sources. AMSIS also contains the offshore mineral locations data that was used to create the Offshore Minerals Map. AMSIS has been developed using standards to support interoperability enabling integration with the National Oceans Portal and other on-line initiatives. Geoscience Australia is working with other agencies and organisations to add additional information. Information in this application should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for commercial and operational decisions. AMSIS should not be used for navigational purposes.
The objectives of the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database are to provide the primary national standard for geological names in Australia and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication of geological unit information.
Geoscience Australia is Australia's pre-eminent public sector geoscience organisation. Geoscience Australia provides a range of material and services to promote geoscience awareness in the community. This portal is a geoscience information discovery, delivery, analysis and decision-support tool including access to over 7000 web-served data layers. The Community and Education portal is intended to bridge the gap between technical products and more general users; it is an introduction to the data and capabilities of other portals with a focus on non-geoscientists in the community, school teachers and students. The portal provides a pre-populated number of data layers for which the descriptions of the layers have been written in plain English wherever possible and includes information on how the data may be used or what analysis tools are available.
The earthquake mapping tool allows you to: * view recent earthquakes which occurred over the past 30 days * search and explore all Australian earthquakes * search and explore earthquakes worldwide * view seismograms of earthquakes over the past 90 days * advise Geoscience Australia when you have felt a recent earthquake.
Exploring for the Future Data Discovery Portal provides free access to new geoscience data and tools acquired and developed during the eight-year (2016-2024) Exploring for the Future program investigating the mineral, energy and groundwater resource potential in Australia. The portal provides the ability for government planners, regulators and industry to access new data and apply a range of assessment tools to support evidence-based decisions.
This portal (Geoscience Australia Portal Core) provides full access to Geoscience Australia data and other publically available data sources as well as suite of analytical and multi-criteria assessment tools to maximise the value of the data. A series of personas have been created on the Geoscience Australia Portal Core technology to meet specific stakeholder and project requirements.
Geoscience Australia's Geochron Delivery system is the retrieval system for geochronological data stored by Geoscience Australia. The system will be continually updated as the volume, variety and quality of available geochronological data increase. The initial (September 2011) release contains only ion microprobe (SHRIMP) data, comprising data from about 560 samples, chiefly derived from Geoscience Australia's previous Geochronology OZCHRON. Migration of further OZCHRON data, and upload of more recent data (including analyses obtained in collaboration with the States and the Northern Territory under the National Geoscience Agreement) is ongoing and continuous.
The Geochronology and Isotopes Data Portal provides access to compilations of 1) publicly-available radiometric age results and 2) full analytical data tables for publicly-available isotope data, from both Geoscience Australia and literature-compiled sources as well as suite of analytical tools to maximise the value of the data. Each result links to information about the sample (including unit name, lithology and age), sample collection site, method of analysis, analytical errors, associated Reference Standards and analytical values (full analytical datasets only), and references for location, age data, and the source publication information.

Interactive Maps is a discovery and exploration view of Geoscience Australia's geospatial services. The following scientific and decision support themes have curated content comprised of maps and functions. Each map has queries and functions with linked access to OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) web services and metadata. This system replaces MapConnect and AMSIS applications.
The k index is a quasilogarithmic index of geomagnetic activity relative to an assumed quiet day curve for the recording site. k is a code from 0-9 that characterizes magnetic activity (0 being the least active field and 9 the most active field) over a 3 hour period.
The MARine Sediment (MARS) database contains detailed information on seabed sediment characteristics for samples collected from Australia's marine jurisdiction, including the Australian Antarctic Territory. It is an important scientific resource that includes survey and sample information such as locations, water depths and sample descriptions. Data are also provided from quantitative analyses of the sediments, such as grain size, mud, sand, gravel and carbonate concentrations, mineralogy, age determinations, geochemical properties, and physical attributes for down-core samples including bulk density, p-wave velocity, porosity and magnetic susceptibility. Images and graphics are presented, where available. MARS currently holds >40,000 sample and sub-sample records, and approximately 200,000 records describing the characteristics of these samples. New data are being added as they become available. Please contact us at marine.s...@ga.gov.au if you wish to contribute marine sediment data to the MARS database.
