Brief description
The Major Crustal Boundaries web service displays the synthesized output of more than 30 years of acquisition of deep seismic reflection data across Australia, where major crustal-scale breaks have been interpreted in the seismic reflection profiles, often inferred to be relict sutures between different crustal blocks. The widespread coverage of the seismic profiles now provides the opportunity to construct a map of major crustal boundaries across Australia.Lineage
Statement: The data in this web service has been created as part of Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program. The data depicted is the 2015 data update release. Work is continuing, and future updates are planed as new data is compiled.text: westlimit=114.50; southlimit=-43.50; eastlimit=152.50; northlimit=-11.00
