This digital dataset is a compilation of the best digital geological map data available in September 1996, drawn mostly from Department of Mines and Energy Queensland (DME) and AGSO published 1:100k, 1:250k, 1:1mil and 1:2.5mil scale geological maps, supplemented by Cainozoic geology from AGSO/(Cape York Peninsula Land Use Strategy) CYPLUS regolith landform and coastal zone maps. The 45 different map units reflect logical age/lithology groupings selected to provide a compromise between readability in hardcopy at 1:1mil scale and a useful amount of information. Internal boundaries of units grouped together were eliminated but the identity of mapped units within each polygon has been added to info tables. The digital dataset was constructed as a basis for hardcopy map products - a 1:1mil scale geological map and a 1:3mil scale geological atlas to accompany AGSO Bulletin 240 - not as a digital product per se. Subsequently, in 2001, the dataset was upgraded to serve as part of a new 1:1mil scale outcrop geology map of Australia. This work comprised QA/QC of linework and attributes, and the addition of polygon constituent information.

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

The polygons in this dataset are a digital representation of the distribution or extent of geological units within the areas of Regional map products. Polygons have a range of attributes including rock unit name, dominant rock, rock unit type, age, lithological description and an abbreviated map symbol for use in labelling the polygons. The lines in this dataset are a digital representation of the position of the boundaries of geological units and other linear features such as faults, bedding trends, dykes, fold axial traces, jointing patterns and other unassigned lineaments. The lines are attributed with an ID, the description of the structure, the type category of structure represented, the capture source and capture scale of the data.

The spatial data source is the GSQ Geology Enterprise ArcSDE Geodatabase with the attribute data either held in the geodatabase or sourced from oracle tables in the Department's Geoscience and Resources Database (GRDB), a component of the Mineral and Energy Resources Location and Information Network (MERLIN) corporate database.

The digital data is provided in geographic co-ordinates (Lat/Long) based on the Geocentric Datum of Australia - GDA94.

Metadata for the Queensland Geological Mapping Data is contained in .html files placed in the root folder of each 1:250 000 tile or Regional sheet tile. For ArcMap users metadata for viewing in ArcCatalog is held in an .xml file with each shapefile within the ESRI Shapefile folders.

Dataset History

GEOLDATA for detailed geology was in many cases previously compiled from field mapping over 1:100 000 map extents. These were completed by different geologists sometimes over many field seasons, with different interpretations. The DVD 1 detailed geology dataset has been extracted from the Geodatabase using a GDA94 standard 1:250 000 map tile extent. The DVD 2 detailed geology dataset has been provided as a statewide extract. Edge matching between the 100K tile edges within this 250K extent may still be in progress. The geological data will be seamless where the field mapping was completed for a specific project extent e.g. Yarrol Province.

The original data capture over most of the 100K tile extents, was compiled based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966. This data was projected to GDA94 for inclusion in the geodatabase.

The data required to be captured for a specific 100K tile based on AGD66, will not be exactly the same as that needed to cover a 100K tile extent based on GDA94. Currently, there may still exist in a few situations, a 'gap' in geological information between adjoining sheets at the outer edges of project areas. These 'gaps' may occur where older project areas were field mapped and captured for ADG66 map production, and they abut more recent project areas which were field mapped and captured for GDA94 map production. Edge mapping adjustments are to be made.

Similarly GEOLDATA for regional datasets were previously compiled from 1:500 000 or 1:1000 000 hard copy maps which were based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 and so their map boundary latitude and longitudes were derived from that AGD66 Datum.

The digital data captured from these maps was projected to GDA94 for migration to the Geodatabase, and so the GDA94 lat/long extents of the datasets will not coincide with the same lat and long values of the original AGD66 drawn map graticule.

Data matching between Regional Datasets will seldom occur.

This dataset was sourced from the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines in 2012. Information provided by the Department describes the dataset as follows: This data was originally provided on DVD and contains the converted shapefiles, layer files, raster images and project .mxd files used on the Queensland geology and structural framework map. The maps were done in ArcGIS 9.3.1 and the data stored in file geodatabases, topology created and validated. This provides greater data quality by performing topological validation on the feature's spatial relationships. For the purposes of the DVD, shapefiles were created from the file geodatabases and for MapInfo users MapInfo .tab and .wor files. The shapefiles on the DVD are a revision of the 1975 Queensland geology data, and are both are available for display, query and download on the department's online GIS application. The Queensland geology map is a digital representation of the distribution or extent of geological units within Queensland. In the GIS, polygons have a range of attributes including unit name, type of unit, age, lithological description, dominant rock type, and an abbreviated symbol for use in labelling the polygons. The lines in this dataset are a digital representation of the position of the boundaries of geological units and other linear features such as faults and folds. The lines are attributed with a description of the type of line represented. Approximately 2000 rock units were grouped into the 250 map units in this data set. The digital data was generalised and simplified from the Department's detailed geological data and was captured at 1:500 000 scale for output at 1:2 000 000 scale. In the ESRI version, a layer file is provided which presents the units in the colours and patterns used on the printed hard copy map. For Map Info users, a simplified colour palette is provided without patterns. However a georeferenced image of the hard copy map is included and can be displayed as a background in both Arc Map and Map Info. The geological framework of Queensland is classified by structural or tectonic unit (provinces and basins) in which the rocks formed. These are referred to as basins (or in some cases troughs and depressions) where the original form and structure are still apparent. Provinces (and subprovinces) are generally older basins that have been strongly tectonised and/or metamorphosed so that the original basin extent and form are no longer preserved. Note that intrusive and some related volcanic rocks that overlap these provinces and basins have not been included in this classification. The map was compiled using boundaries modified and generalised from the 1:2 000 000 Queensland Geology map (2012). Outlines of subsurface basins are also shown and these are based on data and published interpretations from petroleum exploration and geophysical surveys (seismic, gravity and magnetics). For the structural framework dataset, two versions are provided. In QLD_STRUCTURAL_FRAMEWORK, polygons are tagged with the name of the surface structural unit, and names of underlying units are imbedded in a text string in the HIERARCHY field. In QLD_STRUCTURAL_FRAMEWORK_MULTI_POLYS, the data is structured into a series of overlapping, multi-part polygons, one for each structural unit. Two layer files are provided with the ESRI data, one where units are symbolised by name. Because the dataset has been designed for units display in the order of superposition, this layer file assigns colours to the units that occur at the surface with concealed units being left uncoloured. Another layer file symbolises them by the orogen of which they are part. A similar set of palettes has been provided for Map Info.

The 1:2 500 000 scale bedrock geology map of Queensland and northwest New South Wales was compiled at 1:500 000 scale, primarily based on the 1:2 000 000 surface geology map of Queensland Geology (2012) by removing unconsolidated Cenozoic sediments with interpretation of aeromagnetic data and reference to Geological Survey of New South Wales' interpretation of the Thomson Orogen region (Hegarty 2010). This work also referred to the geological province work by Stewart et al (2013).

Stratigraphic unit definition data is linked to the Australian Stratigraphic Names Database through the stratno, by which this bedrock geology map may also be linked to other geoscientific databases housed in Geoscience Australia.

The Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) has released this Queensland Geology Digital Data update to replace the previous 2008 Geoldata release. Spatial and Graphic Services within GSQ have undertaken a major redevelopment to migrate existing data to an Enterprise Geodatabase. Our ArcInfo workstation platform has been retired. This has allowed us to utilise the inherent data validation, integrity checking and relationship features of the geodatabase to provide improved data quality. As this is a major milestone, as well as making the data available on this DVD, we are incorporating the Detailed, Regional and Queensland Geology polygonised vector data into the Interactive Resource and Tenure Maps (IRTM) system for display, query and download of ESRI shape files. Along with new project work, GSQ will continue a maintenance program of the enterprise Geodatabase to edge-match, correct topology and complete a State-wide polygonised vector best scale dataset. It is proposed that data releases will become more frequent. When changes are considered substantial by the Geoscience Manager, digital data will be extracted and a new Geoldata DVD released. This DVD data was extracted from the feature datasets in the GSQ Geology Enterprise Geodatabase in early November 2011. This edition provides new and updated geology over the North-West Queensland Mineral and Energy Province, Hodgkinson Province, South-East Queensland, North Connors Province and Drummond Basin. Seamless data is provided within each of these areas and topological errors have been corrected for NWQMEP and Drummond Basin, while validation in other areas is ongoing and will be available in future releases. For the NWQMEP, Georgetown and Charters Towers GIS areas solid geology interpretation has been completed and is provided as an additional dataset. This edition also includes the August 2012 release of the new Queensland Structural Framework and Queensland Geology.

This 'basement' geology interpretation drew extensively on published 1:100 000, 1:250 000 and smaller scale regional geological maps and analysis of grids of regional aeromagnetic data with line spacings between 100m and 1.5km from Geoscience Australia's aeromagnetic database. Bouguer Gravity and bore hole data were also used to complement the interpretation.

Flat lying Cenozoic and Mesozoic cover materials have been removed across the map area; and Paleozoic sediments have also been removed in the Mount Isa area in the west (north of the Diamantina Fault or northwest of the Thomson Fold Belt).

The digital data that accompanied this map contains lithostratigraphic units compiled at 1:1 000 000 scale. The approximate 900 mapped units are described in the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database housed in Geosciences Australia in Canberra. The hard copy map presented here is simplified from the digital data to show the distribution of major lithology groups of different ages. The user is encouraged to use the digital data for more information.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple the Queensland geology and structural framework dataset. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset contains a polygon shapefile of the Belyando Basin province boundary. The Belyando Basin underlies the eastern margin of the Galilee subregion. Extracted from the QLD Geology and Structural Framework of 2012 - the abstract of which is below.

The data on this DVD contains the converted shapefiles, layer files, raster images and project .mxd files used on the Queensland geology and structural framework map. The maps were done in ArcGIS 9.3.1 and the data stored in file geodatabases, topology created and validated. This provides greater data quality by performing topological validation on the feature's spatial relationships. For the purposes of the DVD, shapefiles were created from the file geodatabases and for MapInfo users MapInfo .tab and .wor files. The shapefiles on the DVD are a revision of the 1975 Queensland geology data, and are both are available for display, query and download on the department's online GIS application.

The Queensland geology map is a digital representation of the distribution or extent of geological units within Queensland. In the GIS, polygons have a range of attributes including unit name, type of unit, age, lithological description, dominant rock type, and an abbreviated symbol for use in labelling the polygons. The lines in this dataset are a digital representation of the position of the boundaries of geological units and other linear features such as faults and folds. The lines are attributed with a description of the type of line represented. Approximately 2000 rock units were grouped into the 250 map units in this data set. The digital data was generalised and simplified from the Department's detailed geological data and was captured at 1:500 000 scale for output at 1:2 000 000 scale.

The geological framework of Queensland is classified by structural or tectonic unit (provinces and basins) in which the rocks formed. These are referred to as basins (or in some cases troughs and depressions) where the original form and structure are still apparent. Provinces (and subprovinces) are generally older basins that have been strongly tectonised and/or metamorphosed so that the original basin extent and form are no longer preserved. Note that intrusive and some related volcanic rocks that overlap these provinces and basins have not been included in this classification.

Outlines of subsurface basins are also shown and these are based on data and published interpretations from petroleum exploration and geophysical surveys (seismic, gravity and magnetics).

For the structural framework dataset, two versions are provided. In QLD_STRUCTURAL_FRAMEWORK, polygons are tagged with the name of the surface structural unit, and names of underlying units are imbedded in a text string in the HIERARCHY field. In QLD_STRUCTURAL_FRAMEWORK_MULTI_POLYS, the data is structured into a series of overlapping, multi-part polygons, one for each structural unit. Two layer files are provided with the ESRI data, one where units are symbolised by name. Because the dataset has been designed for units display in the order of superposition, this layer file assigns colours to the units that occur at the surface with concealed units being left uncoloured. Another layer file symbolises them by the orogen of which they are part. A similar set of palettes has been provided for Map Info.
