Publicly available geology data are compiled to provide a common information base for resource development and regulatory decisions in the Adavale Basin region. This data guide gives examples of how the compiled data can be used. It supports a data package that presents core photographs, existing knowledge of the stratigraphy, and structural elements for the Adavale Basin and the overlying Galilee, Eromanga, Lake Eyre and other Cenozoic basins. Stratigraphic frameworks capture the geological groups and formations that make up the sedimentary sequence in the Adavale Basin region. The Adavale Basin includes 9 stratigraphic formations (Wainman et al., 2023). Overlying the Adavale Basin are the geological formations of the Galilee, Eromanga, Lake Eyre and other Cenozoic basins. The frameworks include the stratigraphic intervals used by the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information (TEGI) Program. From the base of the Adavale Basin to the top of overlying Cenozoic basins, the sedimentary sequence is categorised into 24 play intervals for resource assessment mapping and 12 hydrostratigraphic intervals for characterising groundwater systems (Wainman et al., 2023). Structural elements maps summarise where the sedimentary sequence has been deposited and later deformed by crustal movements. Structure information is used in assessing the geological potential for resources and interpreting groundwater flow and connectivity at the basin scale. The stratigraphic frameworks and structural elements provide the basic geological context for the Adavale Basin region resource and environmental assessments.
