This collection of datasets comprises geological information for Antarctica. Data have been compiled by the GeoMAP team led by GNS Science. Version 2022-08 updates an early beta version (v.2019-07) in response to informal feedback and peer review, and/or the need for local improvements. GeoMAP has utilsed co-funding from GNS Science's Nationally Significant Databases and Collections Programme (NSDC) and international collaboration through the SCAR GeoMAP project(2015-2020). It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of the continent's geologyin a single geodatabase at a regional scale. The data comprises geological unit polygon geometry and attribute fields describing the unit type, name, age, lithology, stratigraphy, and supporting background information, where this is known and geological fault polyline geometry and attribute fields describing locational accuracy, exposure, fault type, and supporting background information, where this is known. Data are linked to the source polygon geometry which provides a spatial bibliography of key datasets and maps used in their compilation. The data structures within this geodatabase comply with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard where relevant and uses the relevant CGI Controlled Vocabularies.The GeoMAP dataset was produced as part of the Regional Geological Map Archive and Datafile, one of the Nationally Significant Collections and Databases supported by the New Zealand Government’s Strategic Science Investment Fund (contract C05X1701).DOI https://doi.org/10.21420/7SH7-6K05

This layer comprises the faults datafor Antarctica. It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of faulting in this area in a single dataset at a regional scale. While it includes some structures interpreted from geophysical datasets, or inferred from continental-scale syntheses, the focus has been a capture of data from geological observations and geological mapping. The dataset comprises arcs with each arc having attributes describing the locational accuracy, exposure, activity, type of fault, and the sense of movement of the fault, where this is known. This layer complies with the GeoSciML Lite standard for ShearDisplacementStructureView and fields required by that standard were populated using the CGI Controlled Vocabulary (v2016.01).The GeoMAP dataset was produced as part of the Regional Geological Map Archive and Datafile, one of the Nationally Significant Collections and Databases supported by the New Zealand Government’s Strategic Science Investment Fund (contract C05X1701).DOI https://doi.org/10.21420/7SH7-6K05

The layer defines the elevation of the basal surface of the Avonside Member geological unit as a Gocad T-surf mesh. The layer has been derived from the 3D Christchurch Geological Model built using Leapfrog Geo software.

A GOCAD T-surf mesh that defines the volume of the Tollemache Member geological unit. It has been derived from the 3D geological model of the Napier-Hastings urban area which forms part of GNS Geological Map 7. The 3D model was built using Leapfrog Geo software. This dataset forms part of Begg JG, Jones KE, Lee JM, Tschritter C. 2022. 3D geological model of the Napier-Hastings urban area [digital data]. Lower Hutt (NZ): GNS Science. (GNS Science geological map; 7b). https://doi.org/10.21420/JJEC-J652. The explanatory text associated with this dataset is available from https://doi.org/10.21420/QFEK-9369.

The Leapfrog Model File contains the volumes of Cone Resistance geotechnical property value range for stratigraphic units for the Christchurch City area. The meshes have been derived from the 3D Christchurch Geological Model built using Leapfrog Geo software. This file is to be opened with ARANZ Geo Limited Leapfrog Geo software.

A collection of GOCAD T-surf meshes that define the elevation of the base and top, and thickness of the subsurface stratigraphic and lithostratigraphic units. They have been derived from the 3D geological model of the Napier-Hastings urban area that forms part of GNS Geological Map 7. The 3D model provides a conceptual three-dimensional representation and interpretation of the near-surface and subsurface geology including the thickness and geometry of stratigraphic and lithostratigraphic units, geometry of major faults, and drillhole and topographic data.
