Geothermal surface features database
Database
This database is maintained by GNS Science to provide a time-series database of measurements/observations/locations of geothermal surface features from high temperature and low temperature geothermal fields in New Zealand.
Overview
The database includes time-series observations and measurements of geothermal surface features in NZ that include temperature, location, description, feature types and flows. There is an intention to expand this to water/gas chemistry. The database is divided into two datasets:
- BOPRC Geothermal Surface Feature Database - Public access. This contains data collected for Bay of Plenty Regional Council for features in the BOP region only. Although collected and entered for the BOPRC under commercial contracts, the BOPRC make this data available in the public domain.
- Natural Thermal Feature/Springs of New Zealand. This dataset contains data for the rest of NZ. Data is only sourced from publicly available documents and all data has a reference.
Both datasets are accessed via the GNS GGW web interface on the GNS website.
