This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. The parent 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 merges formation isopach grids for the Nappamerri Group, Patchawarra Formation and Toolachee Formation in the Cooper Basin from South Australia and Queensland datasets, to produce a single, whole of formation isopach grid for each formation.

## **Purpose** 

Combines formation isopach grid data from different states into a single, whole of formation isopach grid for each formation. Created to standardise Cooper Formation isopach values for visualisation across QLD and SA.

## **Dataset History** 

South Australia - SA Cooper Basin Seismic Mapping Grids datasets (GUID: cdd1625e-64e1-41da-bff4-2e26d0fd4ad1) - and Queensland - QLD GSQ Cooper formation thickness grids v01 (GUID: 2cabb0d5-1d99-494b-9497-2bf107bf2bdd) - formation thickness grids for the Nappamerri Group, Patchawarra Formation and Toolachee Formation were merged together in ArcGIS using the Mosaic (Data Management) tool. A single grid output was created for each formation. The following combinations of inputs created each corresponding output:


1. Merged_Nappamerri_Group_Isopach_Grid_v01 - file name: nappisoall

Inputs:

QLD - napp_iso

SA - n_grid1


2. Merged_Patchawarra_Formation_Isopach_Grid_v01 - file name: patisoall

Inputs:

QLD - patch_400

SA - v_grid1


3. Merged_Toolachee_Formation_Isopach_Grid_v01 - file name: tooisoall

Inputs:

QLD - toola_400

SA - npt_grid1
