Bremer GW bores stratigraphy

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset includes the cleaned stratigraphic data, derived from the Qld DNRM groundwater database, for the Bremer river basin.

Dataset History

This dataset contains two EXCEL spreadsheets:

1) a spreadsheet showing the location (easting and northing) of groundwater bores in the Bremer river basin in QLD, the elevation of the bore location and the depth of the bore

2) a shreadsheet that contains the cleaned stratigraphic data of groundwater bores (in many cases converted from lithological logs in the QLD DNRM groundwater database).

The following steps were involved in deriving the stratigraphic logs of the groundwater bores:

1) Ensure consistent use of terminology and spelling.

2) Identification of geological inconsistencies or geological errors

3) Verification of bore elevation data.

4) Simplification of lithological logs.

5) Conversion of lithological logs into stratigraphic logs.

The procedure is described in detail in Clarence-Moreton bioregional assessment product 2.1 (Raiber et al., 2016).
