[OBSOLETE] OCTOPUS - OSL/TL Australia

Database of published optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) ages for fluvial sedimentary records from Australia.

Spatial data includes: sample site location (point), digital elevation model (raster), D8 flow direction and flow accumulation grids (raster), and topographic gradient (raster). The vector spatial data uses the WGS84/Pseudo-Mercator (EPSG: 3857) projected coordinate reference system. The raster data uses the WGS86/UTM projected coordinate reference system, UTM zones depending on the extent and location of each data package.

Sample metadata is comprehensive and includes bibliographic, contextual, and sample preparation and measurement related information.

The data collection is discussed and documented in the following publication:

Codilean, A. T., Munack, H., Cohen, T. J., Saktura, W. M., Gray, A., and Mudd, S. M., 2018, OCTOPUS: an open cosmogenic isotope and luminescence database, Earth Syst. Sci. Data, 10, 2123–2139, doi:10.5194/essd-10-2123-2018.

This data collection is now obsolete and a new version can be downloaded from the OCTOPUS portal.
