Australian (OZTemp) Well Temperature Data Collection

The collection includes 17,247 measurements of temperature and temperature gradients collected down 5513 individual wells. This information formed the basis for the 'OZTemp Interpreted Temperature at 5km Depth' image of Australia Value: These observations are used to assess heat flow which can be used to infer deep geologic structure, which is valuable for exploration and reconstructions of Australia's evolution Scope: Nationwide collection corresponding to accessible boreholes and published measurements
