  • Title - West Musgrave, 2014: Geological Information Series
  • Type - Delivery and visualization of GIS data layers on a USB
  • Format - Data layers are provided in a number of different formats including ESRI shape files (replicated in MapInfo Tab file format), MS Access mdb (database) files, CSV tables, JPEG Images, JP2 Images, and PDF documents.

Brief abstract or additional comments (maximum 100 words)

For over 100 years GSWA has disseminated regional geoscientific and resource information. The release of the Geological Information Series products with GeoMap.WA compliments a range of delivery methods for the distribution of this information. GeoMap.WA provides improved access to a range of geoscience and resource information. It allows users to visualise, interrogate, and integrate vector and raster data types and associated attribution in an easy-to-use software application.
The West Musgrave Geological Information Series contains geoscientific data covering themes such as geology, regolith geology, field observations, geochemistry, mineral resource locations, tectonic unit boundaries, mining tenements, geological interpretations, map indices at various scales, and image data.
