Summary

Magnetic, gamma-ray and gravity data sets provide vital information for mineral and petroleum explorers as well as researchers studying the geology of the Australian continent and for environmental management issues. Commonwealth, State and Territory governments have devoted considerable resources to acquiring these data sets and making them available to encourage exploration. Geoscience Australia’s geophysical databases contain data acquired by governments, private industry and universities and this report summarises coverages over Australia of these data.
