Brief description
Extent of identified polygonal faulting is a regional understanding of fault displacements and fault zone characteristics within the GAB sequence.There are two layers identified within the polygonal faulting map data.
A: Approximate location of polygonal faulting evident in seismic transects in the Great Artesian Basin
B: Surface evidence of polygonal faulting in the Great Artesian Basin
The polygonal faulting evident in seismic transects were interpreted from seismic data.
The areas of surface evidence of polygonal faulting were interpreted from satellite imagery.
This dataset and associated metadata can be obtained from www.ga.gov.au, using catalogue number 81689.

Statement: METHOD: The method involved searching imagery for the characteristic pattern expressed by polygonal faulting. Polygons were drawn around areas showing these characters. Similarly selected seismic lines were assessed to identify characteristic patterns of polygonal faulting. In all cased the interpretation involved distinction between polygonal faulting and other expressions not related.
