Geoscience Australia has compiled U-Pb datasets from disparate sources into a single, standardised and publicly-available U–Pb geochronology compilation for all Australia. The national maps presented in this poster expand upon the data coverage previously compiled by Anderson et al. (2017) and Jones et al. (2018), which covered northern and western Australia only.
This extension of a national coverage has been achieved through the development of Geoscience Australia’s Interpreted Ages database. In this database, there are now >4000 U–Pb sample points compiled from across Australia, with significant datasets to come from the southern Australia regions. These will be available to the public in the coming months through the Exploring for the Future Data Discovery Portal (eftf.ga.gov.au).
