Abstract

For more than 100 years the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) has acquired, enhanced, archived and disseminated regional geological, geophysical, geochemical, mineral and petroleum data as a fundamental component of its work program. Geoscientific Database of Western Australia (GeoBASE.WA) signifies a change in GSWA's approach to the management and distribution of these geoscientific data. GeoBASE.WA moves away from the standard map-centric structure, to a data centric approach, thereby providing improved access to a single source of data for a variety of needs including quality hardcopy maps and remote access to seamless geoscientific datasets. By making the geoscientific information readily available within GeoBASE.WA, these data can be incorporated into decision-making processes thereby promoting mineral and petroleum exploration in Western Australia.
