ATA GeoMAP faults (v.2022-08)
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 It represents a synthesis of existing published and unpublished mapping of faulting in this area in a single dataset at a regional scale.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/10.21420/7SH7-6K0 5

- Statement
-
1. Existing published or unpublished geological maps were georeferenced.
2. Fault traces identified on these maps were digitised.
3. Characteristics such as locational accuracy, exposure and fault type were captured from the source map where this information was available and were recorded as a GeoSciML compliant table of attributes
4. Data checked for logical consistency.
GeoMAP v.202208 supercedes an earlier beta version (v.2019-07) made available at the XIII International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences (ISAES), Incheon, Republic of Korea 22-26
July 2019.
This release v.2022-08 updates and corrects the dataset following informal feedback and peer review, and/or improves local areas with more attention to detail.
