Description: Classification of the Australian land mass into areas with and without water bodies and urban development (residential, commercial, education, hospital/medical, transport).
Description: Average Direct Normal Exposure (DNI) values in MJ/m² over the Australian land mass, represented as a continuous surface. The map is derived from DNI data provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Description: Buffer zones of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000km around the gas pipelines on the Australian land mass. This layer was derived using pipeline routes from the GPInfo petroleum database.
Description: Buffer zones around potential CO2 storage sites in Australia that are at an advanced stage of characterisation and/or development. This layer is derived from; the Carbon Storage Taskforce (2009) National Carbon Mapping and Infrastructure Plan-Australia Report, Department of Resources Energy and Tourism; the Queensland Carbon Dioxide Geological Storage Atlas, Queensland Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation; and the Geological Provinces dataset, Geoscience Australia.
Description: Buffer zones around potential CO2 storage sites in Australia with a longer term outlook. This layer is derived from; the Carbon Storage Taskforce (2009) National Carbon Mapping and Infrastructure Plan-Australia Report, Department of Resources Energy and Tourism; the Queensland Carbon Dioxide Geological Storage Atlas, Queensland Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation; basin data provided by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment; and the Australian Basin Ranking Map dataset, Geoscience Australia.
Description: Location of water bodies on the Australian land mass, symbolised by volume. The map is derived from data provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Description: Aquifers in the Australian land mass, classified by groundwater productivity. This layer is derived from the Hydrogeology of Australia 1987 dataset.
