Abstract
The Western Australian Geothermal Centre of Excellence (WAGCOE) is a science collaboration between Western Australia’s leading innovative research institutions – CSIRO, The University of Western Australia and Curtin University of Technology. One of its key research initiatives is to assess geological and geophysical data from the Perth Basin to identify geothermal targets. This geothermal exploration task involves the collection and analysis of all datasets available, which can be a challenging and sometimes daunting exercise. This paper addresses the difficulties encountered in gathering data for geothermal exploration and presents our web catalog service, the application we use to manage our spatially referenced resources.
