A Nationally Consistent Geomorphic Classification of the Australian Coastal Zone

Geoscience Australia has completed the first phase of an areal map of Australia's coastal geomorphological units. Utilising pre-existing GIS datasets procured from local, state and federal government agencies, this national scale map conforms to a coastal geomorphology classification scheme developed at Geoscience Australia. Phase one consists of a geodatabase containing a series of state wide feature datasets that have been reclassified into the national coastal geomorphology classification scheme.

澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia）已完成澳大利亚海岸地貌单元面状地图编制的第一阶段工作。该国家级比例尺地图依托从地方、州及联邦政府机构获取的现有地理信息系统（GIS）数据集编制，完全契合澳大利亚地球科学局自主研发的海岸地貌分类方案。第一阶段的成果为一个地理数据库，其中包含多套州级要素数据集，所有数据集均已按照国家级海岸地貌分类方案完成重新分类。
