National Gravity and Magnetic Derivatives Customised for Data Analysis and Machine Learning

PurposeThis package comprises a set of 86 thematic grids (rasters) derived from national coverages of gravity and magnetic survey data. These datasets provide valuable information about the distribution of geological features, physical property variations, and the composition of the Earth's crust. All grids have been resampled to the same cell size, map extent, and projection to allow them to be integrated into predictive mapping and modelling workflows using machine learning. Users can download individual grids or the whole grid package.  Input DataThe following Australian national datasets were used:1.     2019 Australian National Gravity Grids: Free Air Anomaly, Complete Bouguer Anomaly, De-trended Global Isostatic Residual, 400 m cell size (Lane et al., 2020).2.     Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) Grid of Australia 2019 - seventh edition Enhanced Products Package (Morse, 2020).
ProcessingAll processing of the national grids were undertaken using Intrepid software. The following was performed on the input data:1.     The grids were reprojected from GDA94 geodetic to Australian Albers (EPSG 3577). 2.     The grids were aligned to the same grid cell registration point and interpolated to fit within an 80 m cell size using a cubic spline method to ensure that the cell locations for all images are common.3.     Various Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) were applied to each grid (see ‘Grids_for_Machine_Learning_dataset_notes.pdf’).  Metadata (all grids)·       Datum: GDA94·       Projection: Australian Albers (EPSG 3577)·       Cell size: 80 m·       File format: GeoTiff (.tif)Data is available on request from [email protected] - Quote eCat# 149130
