A 2026 study by Geoscience Australia mapped geomorphic features and sedimentary facies in 283 wave- and tide-dominated estuaries and deltas across Australia. The data was used to quantitatively evaluate established evolutionary facies models and reveal new insights about the transition from estuaries to deltas during stable sea level conditions. This is described as the first published example of such data assembled from a large number of systems across an entire continent.
Northern Australian waters were surveyed aboard the RV Solander during four expeditions from 2009 to 2012. Sediment samples were collected, elutriated, and sorted, with all polychaete specimens identified by taxonomists Chris Glasby and Charlotte Watson to species or operational taxonomic unit level. Specimens are housed at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, and the dataset is published with permission from Geoscience Australia.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a dataset on the Sabrina continental slope in East Antarctica. It describes how slope angle variations influence gully morphology through sedimentation and turbidity currents, with associated impacts on seafloor community structure and beta-diversity. The data is associated with a 2020 publication in Marine Geology.
An inventory of environmental and cultural data and best practice monitoring standards for offshore renewable energy development in Australia. The collaborative National Environmental Science Program project compiled this resource to support regulatory decision-making for proposed areas including Hunter, Gippsland, and the Southern Ocean. It details potential impacts, monitoring standards, cultural values, seabed habitats, and species interactions.
Geoscience Australia presents seabed geomorphology maps synthesizing bathymetry, shallow geology, sedimentology, and ecology data. These maps illustrate the distribution and diversity of seabed features, compositions, and processes like sediment dynamics. The data supports the sustainable development of offshore renewable energy by reducing uncertainty and investment risk.
13.5 KB of data from laser microbeam ablation and immunofluorescent staining experiments on rhabditid nematodes, investigating developmental constraints in male tail characters. The dataset was created by Karin Kiontke and last updated on April 28, 2026. It includes analysis of tail tip morphogenesis, genital papilla number, and phasmid position across multiple species.
Great Britain's hydrologically defined sections, including river channels and coastal areas up to the mean high water line for England and Wales. Each polygon section contains attributes for devolved administration, regional boundaries, river catchment, and Water Framework Directive waterbody IDs. The dataset is provided by the Government Digital Service and is available in both geographical (WGS84) and projected (British National Grid) coordinate reference systems.
A map of bivalve mollusc harvesting areas in England and Wales, classified based on E. coli contamination levels. The dataset defines seven classification categories, from Class A for direct consumption to Prohibited, under two regulatory systems: annual/temporary and long-term. The data is provided by the Government Digital Service.
An 8-year period of numerical model outputs from March 1997 to February 2005 was used to compute combined flow bed shear stress over the entire Australian continental shelf. Geoscience Australia Data produced this dataset to quantify seabed exposure to waves, tides, and currents using three regionalisation methods. The outputs are intended to support marine habitat classification and planning.
The Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (SFGS) encouraged woodland creation and management for economic, environmental, and social benefits. Applications for grants were open from June 2003 to August 2006. The dataset likely contains details on grant applications, objectives, and funding percentages based on standard costs.
A 2024 pilot study assessed drop-sheeting as a novel sampling method for surveying insects within macadamia orchards. The dataset compares five drop-sheet size treatments for their ability to represent insect communities effectively and efficiently. It was authored by Reid Emery and shared on figshare in 2026.
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 observational studies involving 3,645 patients, investigating risk factors for necrosis after finger replantation surgery. The study, authored by Feiyong Yu and last updated in April 2026, was conducted by searching multiple databases including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. It calculates pooled odds ratios for factors like smoking, ischemia time, and crush injury using a random-effects model.
Joseph Bonaparte Gulf in northern Australia and Icelandic waters from the BIOICE program provide data for comparing marine biodiversity sampling methods. The dataset likely contains records from benthic sleds, trawls, grabs, and imaging systems, with associated environmental variables. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in April 2026.
The Restigouche River system in New Brunswick provides long-term monitoring data for juvenile Atlantic salmon. Fisheries and Oceans Canada collected this dataset via electrofishing surveys from 1972 to 2020, recording fish counts, lengths, and weights. The data supports the calculation of annual production indices for salmon populations.
437.9 KB of camera trap data from the Snapshot USA 2019 project, compiled by Mingzhang Liu and last updated in April 2026. It contains independent detection counts for humans and white-tailed deer, alongside environmental variables like land cover and topography. The dataset is supplemented with information on whether deer hunting is permitted, sourced from a 2024 ecological study.
261 voucher specimens of benthic marine life were collected during a 9-day transit between Darwin and Cairns in October 2012. The survey, conducted by Geoscience Australia, focused on sessile invertebrates like sponges and octocorals for biodiversity and biodiscovery research. Sponges were the most abundant group, with approximately 139 kg of biomass and 93 voucher specimens collected.
A 12-week randomized, open-label, non-inferiority trial involving 80 obese adults in China, comparing plant-based caloric restriction (PB-CRD) to conventional calorie restriction (CRD). The dataset, authored by Kelibinuer Mutailipu and last updated in April 2026, contains results on weight loss, body composition, and metabolic markers. Both groups achieved significant weight loss, with PB-CRD demonstrating non-inferiority and superior reductions in body fat percentage.
2.6 MB of data includes archaeological evidence and cross-national survey data used to construct a cognitive metric and estimate evolutionary rates over six million years. The dataset, authored by Robert Shuler and last updated in April 2026, compares hominin cognitive evolution rates to Chimpanzees. Results suggest autocatalytic selection once culture began storing reasoning, potentially outpacing biological change.
A bibliometric analysis of 1,299 research records on sporotrichosis from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, covering the period from 1975 to 2024. The dataset was created by Donglin Yuan and includes publication trends, author and journal influence, and topic modeling results. It was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Donglin Yuan's dataset contains bibliometric records for 1,299 publications on sporotrichosis from 1975 to 2024. The data was compiled from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science and analyzed with tools like Citespace and VOSviewer. It was last updated on April 20, 2026.
