Online_Linkage: http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/energy/WorldEnergy/WEnergy.html Description: Abstract: This coverage includes arcs, polygons and polygon labels that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the Asia Pacific Region (Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Caledonia, New Zealand, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Tonga, Vanuatu and Vietnam.). Each province has a set of geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces. These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age of the strata, and the structural style. Some provinces include multiple genetically-related basins. Offshore province boundaries are defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour Purpose: To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of the The Far East, which is being compiled as a small scale geologic reference for the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world. This coverage is being published in the form of an Arc/Info export file and ascii files of topology and attributes as an addendum to Open File Report 97470F.

Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: This coverage is a portion of a composite coverage composed of geologic provinces defined by regional coordinators of the U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project and others. There have been updates and corrections in spelling of the names of the provinces since they were first published in Open File Report 97-463 (Klett and others, 1997). The following provinces depicted in this coverage have been updated: 3108 Cuoqing Lupola Basin is now Cuoqing Lunpola Basin 3115 Jungger Basin is now Junggar Basin 3159 Yingehai Basin is now Yinggehai Basin 3403 Huskan Platform is now Huksan Platform 3404 Korba Bay Basin is now Korea Bay Basin Changes have been reviewed by regional coordinator. Logical_Consistency_Report: Polygon topology is present, each polygon has one unique label point, there are no dangles, polygons are bounded at extent of coverage. Completeness_Report: Geologic provinces are delineated by U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Project regional coordinators and others with an emphasis on the determination of petroleum systems. Methods may vary from one region to another. The coverage is updated. Spelling errors in province names are corrected. In the Far East portion, province boundaries are adjusted to more closely match surface geology, where applicable. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Coverage has a fuzzy tolerance of 500 meters. In the Far East portion province boundaries are adjusted to more closely match surface geology. Boundary changes have been reviewed by regional coordinator.
