The Geothermal surface features database is maintained by GNS Science to provide a time-series database of measurements/observations/locations of geothermal surface features from high temperature and low temperature geothermal fields in New Zealand. The database includes time-series observations and measurements of geothermal surface features in NZ that include temperature, location, description, feature types and flows. There is an intention to expand this to water/gas chemistry. The database is divided into two datasets: 1) BOPRC Geothermal Surface Feature Database - Public access. This contains data collected for Bay of Plenty Regional Council for features in the BOP region only. Although collected and entered for the BOPRC under commercial contracts, the BOPRC make this data available in the public domain. 2) Natural Thermal Feature/Springs of New Zealand. This dataset contains data for the rest of NZ. Data is only sourced from publicly available documents and all data has a reference. Both datasets are accessed via the GNS GGW web interface on the GNS website. DOI: https://doi.org/10.21420/BPMA-D502 Cite as: GNS Science, & Bay of Plenty Regional Council - Toi Moana. (2015).

The GGW database is operated and maintained by the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited (GNS Science). It contains geochemical (chemistry and sampling), hydrological, geological and/or geophysical information for Sites (Features) in New Zealand. Included in the database are the datasets for the National Groundwater Monitoring Programme (NGMP) and Wairaikei Analytical, Recording, Thermo Dynamic System (WARTS) projects maintained and operated by GNS Science. The database design was adapted for New Zealand from Australian Standards. DOI: https://doi.org/10.21420/9QTA-4884 Cite as: Geothermal and GroundWater Database. 2005–.

The WARTS database was maintained by GNS Science to provide a time-series database of water and gas chemistry results from geothermal surface features, volcanos and geothermal bores analysed by DSIR (Chemistry division). The database includes time-series analytical measurements (water chemistry, gas chemistry and limited field measurements of temperature and pressure for bores) made by DSIR of geothermal surface features, volcanos and geothermal bores in NZ and internationally – anything the water chemistry laboratory based at Wairakei analysed. The dataset contains both samples collected for research and for commercial purposes, with no distinction within the dataset of what was research and what was commercial.
