Great Artesian Basin - Extent of identified polygonal faulting

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

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.
