This data release includes a three-dimensional (3D) geological map of the Cooper Basin region which has been produced from 3D inversions of Bouguer gravity data using geological data to constrain the inversions. It also includes predictions of temperature and temperature uncertainty which have been produced from the 3D map.

The 3D geological map delineates regions of low density within the basement of the Cooper and Eromanga basins. These are inferred as granitic bodies, which may act as heat sources. It also delineates the stratigraphy of the sedimentary basins which provide thermal insulation. This release is the second version of the 3D map of the Cooper Basin region. It builds on Version 1 of the Cooper Basin Region Geological map, released in 2009.

The 3D map is supplied here in Gocad? format as surfaces. The surfaces define the extent of each map unit as described in the report.
