Brief description
The collection includes 17,247 measurements of temperature and temperature gradients collected down 5513 individual wells. This information formed the basis for the 'OZTemp Interpreted Temperature at 5km Depth' image of Australia Value: These observations are used to assess heat flow which can be used to infer deep geologic structure, which is valuable for exploration and reconstructions of Australia's evolution Scope: Nationwide collection corresponding to accessible boreholes and published measurementsLineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: annually
Statement: Source: Nationwide collection of data obtained by Geoscience Australia staff through access to new and existing boreholes, as well as data supplied by external parties and from literature
