Positional accuracy: The positional accuracy of features on the face of 1:100 000 regolith-landform maps varies widely, but should be better in more recent maps than those produced over 20 years ago. For maps produced in the last 20 years from air photography and satellite images, most geological features should be accurate to within one or two millimetres on the face of the map (50-100 metres on the ground). More recent observations obtained with the help of GPS equipment may be accurate to 100 metres on the ground. Attribute accuracy: Every effort is made to ensure the the accuracy of attribute information on the face of regolith-landform, regolith or landform maps, but in many instances there is an element of interpretation. Logical Consistency: The geologists engaged in regolith-landform mapping generally go to a great deal of trouble to ensure that the information portrayed on the face of their maps is logically consistant. However, opinions can differ, and what one geologist regards as logically consistent may not satisfy another geologist. Modern maps are generally better than some of the older examples, as account is now taken of such things as balanced sections and sequence stratigraphy. Completeness: Most regolith-landform, regolith or landform maps can be considered as being complete, although the degree of completeness may vary somewhat. Modern maps tend to have a lot more detail on them than was the case 30 years ago. Contact information
Metadata informationMetadata date: 2013-03-08 Additional metadataMetadata reference XHTML: http://www.ga.gov.au/meta/ANZCW0703012983.html Metadata reference XML: http://www.ga.gov.au/meta/ANZCW0703012983.xml Data are part of a collation of digital regolith, landform or regolith-landform maps prepared as a legacy product of the Cooperative Research Centre for Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration in June 2008. Most regolith-landform, regolith or landform maps are stored non digitally, but maps produced since about 1990 may be stored in digital formats such as Intergraph or Arc/Info. Earlier maps may have been digitised or scanned. Maps as PDF images are freely available for download from http://crcleme.org.au/ until the end of June 2014. Authors:Wilford, J.R. |
