Full description

The Geoscience Australia (GA) Inorganic Geochemistry database (GEOCHEM) contains chemical analyses and analytical metadata from rocks and regolith materials. The majority of analysed samples are from mapping and sampling programs in Australia by GA and its predecessor organisations (BMR, AGSO), along with a considerable collection from the Australian Antarctic Territory. A small number of analyses exist from Papua New Guinea and offshore sampling programs. The data set is currently used for internal GA consumption and is served off an application within the GA portal. As an enhancement, this data would be altered in terms of its structure adding more information out of such analyses. In addition, the data would me made compliant following GGIC standards. The data would be published within internal GA as well as to external third parties, through OGC web services viz. WMS and WFS.

Statement: The current Geoscience Australia (GA) Inorganic Geochemistry database, known as GEOCHEM, is the successor to previous databases known variously as ROCKCHEM and OZCHEM. The majority of analysed samples are from mapping and sampling programs in Australia by GA and its predecessor organisations (BMR, AGSO), along with a considerable collection from the Australian Antarctic Territory collected by the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) in the 1970’s and 1980’s. While the majority of the analytical data comes from GA’s own laboratories, the database captures data from a wide range of analytical techniques and non-GA laboratories, including major element oxides, trace elements, and some isotopic ratios. GEOCHEM is a relational database constructed in Oracle, with links to GA’s field sites, boreholes, surveys and samples databases.

Notes

Purpose
The data from laboratory analyses is currently used for analytical purposes by the minerals team. As part of the EFTF programme. this data needs to be released through web services where further analysis can be done on the EFTF portal
