Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose. This Cairns Gravity - Cities Project (P199701) contains a total of 248 point data values acquired at a spacing of 500 metres. The data is located in QLD and were acquired in 1997, under project No. 199701 for Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO).
