It was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from Nicol C (2010) (GUID: b140974b-8bf9-40dd-a405-21637948c25b) with additional input from Gabrielle Yates (Geoscience Australia) to use alternative geological nomenclature for incorporation to the context statement. The source dataset is 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 contains schematic geological cross-sections of the Gippsland Basin showing the major geological unit groupings developed for the Gippsland Basin Bioregional Assessment Context Statement.

The purpose of these cross-sections is to provide a conceptual insight for the reader into the distribution of the major geological units of the Gippsland Basin. It is not the intention that the cross-sections provide specific details on all stratigraphic units described in the context statement, however, some of the stratigraphic units are named in the diagram to aid understanding by the reader.
The Gippsland Basin cross sections were produced by Steve Marvanek (CSIRO) in ArcMap 10.2. They were adapted from Nicol C (2010) (GUID: b140974b-8bf9-40dd-a405-21637948c25b) with additional input from Gabrielle Yates (Geoscience Australia) to use alternative geological nomenclature for incorporation to the context statement.
