Thesis Library

EGRU maintains a comprehensive library of geoscience Honours, PhD and Masters theses.   Some theses are already in digital form and available for EGRU Members (Level 1 to 4) to download via the Members’ Portal.  If a thesis is not already available in digital form there may be a scanning cost.

Databases

Geochemical, Isotopic and Geochronological Database

A collaborative project between the Geological Survey of QLD (GSQ) and the Economic Geology Research Centre (EGRU), funded by the Queensland Government as part of the Queensland’s Smart Mining-future prosperity program.

The objective was to compile a geochemical, isotopic and geochronological database from JCU theses submitted over the last 30 years where the specific region of research was within Queensland.

The thesis data are divided into data groups of whole rock, rock chip, drill holes, auger, beach sediment, channel sample, drainage sediment, electron microprobe, heavy mineral, mineral, soil stream sediments, termite mound, vegetation and water samples.  Each data group contains references to the thesis author, region and sample number. Other references include, but are not limited to, drill hole depth, data type , mine or prospect, current tenure,  QDEX report number, lithology, geochemistry.

This dataset is available as a spreadsheet in MS Excel (.xlsx) and Open Document formats (.ods) https://research.jcu.edu.au/researchdata/default/search?query=gsq
