Information – Activities
We manage and publish GSI’s data and information. We provide IT/GIS support to GSI staff. We also support EU and international projects collaborating with a number of national, EU and international organisations. Many of our publications are published in-house in our Cartography Unit. Goldmine is a our online digital catalogue of archive maps and data. Science is at the core of many Government policies, and communicating our science is important to us. None of this is possible without our underlying computer network, which we manage in association with staff in the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer.
Data Management
We manage and publish GSI’s data related to bedrock, geochemistry, geoenergy, geohazards, geological heritage, geophysics, geotechnical, groundwater, marine, minerals and quaternary.
Online Viewers
Most of our data is displayed in our online viewers to help our stakeholders in their decision process, either during environmental impact assessment, for planning purposes and also for general information.
Running the computer network
We work closely with staff in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in our Department and staff in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer.
- ICT provide systems development, maintenance and operations support.
- Network support is currently provided by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer.
