NTGS has released the second edition 1:250 000 Lake Amadeus geological map series. The LAKE AMADEUS map area west of Alice Springs includes Watarrka National Park, part of the Mereenie oil and gas field, as well as the salt lake of Lake Amadeus. The second edition map is the result of the first regional-scale mapping conducted in the area since the 1960s. Geological field mapping in this area of the Amadeus Basin has contributed to a revised understanding of the Neoproterozoic stratigraphy. The new map provides a modern geological framework that can be integrated with additional digital datasets.
