Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs, the world's southernmost open-ocean platform reefs, were surveyed over six days in February 2024. James Cook University assessed benthic, fish, and invertebrate communities at 14 sites, providing data comparable to previous surveys from 2011, 2014, and 2018. The project focused on endemic and threatened species and explored deeper habitats using remotely operated vehicles and baited video systems.
Western Australian temperate rocky reefs host research on the ecology of territorial herbivorous damselfish of the genus Parma. The study investigates species distributions, habitat associations, and the role of sea surface temperature, using Parma mccullochi as a model species. Parks Australia provides this record to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.
A manipulative experiment tested within-canopy responses of the clonal seagrass Amphibolis griffithii to light reduction and recovery. The dataset, provided by Parks Australia, likely contains measurements of leaf distribution, growth rates, and resource allocation within the canopy. These data were made available following the decommissioning of the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas platform.
Over 260 polychaete species from 43 families recorded in the Kimberley marine region. The data was compiled by Parks Australia from published literature and unpublished Australian museum records, with updated nomenclature. This record was made available following the decommissioning of the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas.
An updated report on the Montara Environmental Monitoring Program, first published in August 2012, featuring extensive discussions of individual studies. PTTEP AA and Parks Australia share this research to raise awareness of the Timor Sea's biodiversity and inform industry and government practices. The report highlights a significant new body of baseline scientific data on the Timor Sea and northern Australian coastline.
Long-term sea noise monitoring from 2004, with a key site sampled from 2006 to 2010, records calling fish choruses in the Kimberley region. The dataset, provided by Parks Australia, captures daily, lunar, and seasonal periodicity in fish calls, with specific choruses linked to feeding and reproduction. This record was previously available via the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas.
Parks Australia provides a dataset on pygmy angelfishes (genus Centropyge) focusing on the Centropyge flavissima species complex. The dataset includes 448 specimens (157 added to a previous 291) collected across a greater geographic range, primarily in the Indian Ocean, Central-West Pacific, and Central-South Pacific. It was published via the Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas and last updated in July 2026.
Long-term decadal monitoring data from two isolated atoll systems off northwest Australia examines combined effects of shark removal and coral loss on reef fish communities. The dataset provides evidence consistent with top-down impacts from shark loss and bottom-up effects from bleaching and cyclones propagating through the food chain. Parks Australia provides this record to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks, originally from the decommissioned Australian Marine Parks Science Atlas.
2019 data from Bulgaria's intensive forest ecosystem monitoring program, part of the ICP Forests network. The program, coordinated under the UNECE CLRTAP Convention, monitors atmospheric pollutant deposition and ecosystem health. Intensive monitoring is conducted at 3 permanent sample plots, with data used to calculate critical loads for sustainable forest management.
Australian tropical rainforests contain data on 242 vertebrate species, including 93 birds, 31 amphibians, 31 mammals, and 47 reptiles. The dataset provides species-specific distributional and life-history traits, GIS distribution maps for 202 species, and composite phylogenies. It was compiled to inform comparative biodiversity studies and climate change impact assessments.
Future predictions for the 2020s, 2030s, 2040s, and 205s of demersal fish distribution on the Kerguelen Plateau, a climate change hotspot. The dataset contains environmental data, R code, and outputs from a study using the FESOM model and Hierarchical Models of Species Communities (HMSC) under various IPCC climate change scenarios. The record is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
1079 raw files (20.2 GB) of sub-bottom profiler data collected from the RV Investigator voyage IN2026_V01 between January 02 and February 25, 2026. The Kongsberg SBP29 instrument acquired specular reflections at sediment interfaces using a 2.5 to 7 kHz frequency sweep, logged continuously throughout the voyage. Data are stored in .raw and processed .seg (SEG-Y) formats by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Three autonomous KOMBI seafloor landers collected data in the Southern Ocean between 2021 and 2022. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides this dataset, which includes active and passive acoustic data, CTD measurements, and video camera footage from instruments deployed at depths between 350 and 1500 meters. Data collection is part of an ongoing time series designed to capture seasonal to interannual variability.
Survey data from 2,675 recreational fishers in the Great Barrier Reef region, collected via telephone, mail, and face-to-face methods between 2006 and 2008. The dataset captures quantitative attitudinal and perception data, plus extensive spatial data on fishing locations, related to the 2004 rezoning of the marine park. It is associated with research published in Environmental Conservation and hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
122 GB of raw multibeam echosounder data and 193 GB of watercolumn data were collected during the RV Investigator's COOKIES voyage from January to February 2026. The data, stored in .kmall and .kmwcd formats, includes bathymetry and backscatter measurements corrected for motion, position, and tide using the EGM2008 model. It was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
January 02, 2026 to February 25, 2026 (AEST) multibeam echosounder data from the RV Investigator voyage IN2026_V01 around Antarctica. The Kongsberg EM712 system collected 15.7 GB of raw bathymetry and backscatter data and 30.1 GB of watercolumn backscatter data, stored by CSIRO. Data are corrected for motion, position, and tide using the EGM2008 model.
NESP MaC Project 5.5 aims to assess the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Jasper and associated flooding on inshore coastal habitats in the northern Great Barrier Reef. The project will produce a register of impacts, habitat data from field surveys, and a final technical report. Data was last updated on 2026-07-18.
Four Regions of Provenance in Great Britain define areas with similar ecological and climatic characteristics. The Scottish Government SpatialData.gov.scot provides this framework for specifying sources of Forest Reproductive Material. Native species are further classified into 24 non-statutory seed zones, with altitude zones below and above 300 meters.
ETH Zurich researchers provide data underlying a manuscript on engineering polyketide synthases. The repository contains sequencing data, NMR data, HPLC-MS traces, and bioactivity assay results. Python scripts for data analysis are included.
Aquatic flora surveys were conducted in the Leschenault Estuary in April 2009. The data includes a point dataset of species presence/absence and a polygon dataset of interpolated percentage cover. This baseline data was collected by the WA Department of Water and Geoscience Australia for a 2013 Australia-wide seagrass risk assessment.
