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 Canning Basin Gravity (P195632) contains a total of 9720 point data values acquired at a spacing between 750 and 9700 metres. The data is located in WA and were acquired in 1956, under project No. 195632 for West Australian Petroleum Pty Ltd.
