Boundaries of areas in New South Wales, Australia, vested in the Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 under Part 11. The dataset is maintained by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and was last updated on 2026-04-27. It primarily contains lands acquired by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service that are not yet formally gazetted as reserves.
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) survey data integrating image capture and high-resolution geophysical tools to map seabed composition. The study trialled the AUV in coastal and offshore waters of SE Tasmania, surveying habitats from kelp reefs to deep mid-shelf sediments. Data was presented at the OCEANS'10 IEEE Sydney Conference in May 2010.
1994 summer data contains images of Leaf Area Index (LAI) and Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) for the BOREAS study region. The images were produced from ten-day composite AVHRR NDVI data using algorithms validated with ground measurements and Landsat TM imagery. This dataset supports the development and validation of remote sensing retrieval methods for vegetation biophysical parameters.
Sediment samples were collected from Sydney Harbour in August 2003 by Geoscience Australia and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation. The analysis aims to groundtruth multibeam sonar surveys and assess how sediment properties influence acoustic backscatter for benthic habitat classification. This work is part of the Coastal CRC's Coastal Water Habitat Mapping Project.
Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs within Australia's Lord Howe Marine Park were surveyed from January 31 to February 6, 2020. Geoscience Australia collected this multibeam sonar backscatter data to establish baseline information for benthic habitats, supporting a 10-year marine park management plan (2018-2028). The dataset includes two bathymetry grids with a 4-meter spatial resolution.
640.4 KB of data collected by Clare Bracey to test the Vegetation Integrity metric as an indicator for woodland bird biodiversity. The dataset, last updated in May 2026, focuses on species richness, abundance, and community condition. It is available in CSV and DOCX formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Roger Kendrick's dataset from a 2021 study contains moth community data from Hong Kong. It includes species abundance matrices for 725 moth species captured across nine sites from June to November 2021. The data is structured in CSV files with taxonomic and environmental information.
Western Australia's Swan Coastal Plain bioregion features polygon data mapping remnant native vegetation extent for 2010. The dataset, created by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, is part of a multi-year series spanning 2000 to 2024, derived from historical and contemporary aerial imagery.
A 2017 study by researchers including Jin Li and Belinda Alvarez applied random forest, generalized linear models, and hybrid geostatistical methods to predict sponge species richness. The research generated high-accuracy spatial distribution maps of sponge species richness and revealed non-linear relationships with environmental predictors. The dataset is hosted by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated in April 2026.
SFMBON integrates ground and satellite observations to monitor biodiversity in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. This dataset supports ecosystem-based management through periodic surveys conducted since 2014. It is a partnership between NASA, NOAA AOML, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Miki Balint's dataset contains environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding data from Lake Albert, one of Africa's Great Lakes. The data, last updated in April 2026, assesses eukaryotic and metazoan plankton communities from surface water samples collected at three sites: the Semliki River inflow, the central lake, and the White Nile inflow/outflow.
Underwater video footage from the 2007/2008 CEAMARC voyage captures the physical and biological characteristics of benthic communities on the George V Shelf. The data likely reflects community colonization over the past 8-12 thousand years, following the last glacial retreat. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in April 2026.
SMEX02 Iowa Satellite Vegetation and Water Index Data provides NDVI and NDWI indices derived from Landsat 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery. The dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Sources show conflicting last update dates, ranging from 2002 to 2026.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides a dataset evaluating habitat potential for marine megafauna across 753 submarine canyons on the Australian continental margin. The methodology uses a surrogacy framework with 22 environmental and ecological variables to derive estimates of habitat suitability for pelagic, epibenthic, and benthic species. This abstract was presented at the 2017 Australian Marine Science Association Conference.
Archived UK-wide data submitted to the EU Commission details all Special Protection Areas for rare and migratory birds from August 2009 to July 2015. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee compiled this information in a multi-tab Excel spreadsheet following the official Natura 2000 Standard Data Form format. This series was superseded in December 2015 by a combined dataset covering the entire Natura 2000 network.
Boundaries of areas in New South Wales, Australia, vested in the Minister administering the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 under Part 11. The dataset, provided by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, includes access roads, workshops, depots, accommodation, offices, leasehold land, and land pending decision or disposal. It was last updated on 2026-04-27.
Latest Pliocene to Holocene planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the Coral Sea, offshore Queensland, Australia. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia, examines 15 of 27 potential events, proposes two new subzones, and describes one new species. It indicates a hiatus in the early Pleistocene and notes faunal assemblages dominated by spinose, oligotrophic taxa.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological report on the Lawn Hill Platform Cover, a sequence of Proterozoic sediments and volcanics in northwest Queensland. The description details three stratigraphic subdivisions, structural deformation into basins and domes, and the concentration of economic copper, lead, and zinc sulfide deposits. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-30.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological and geomorphological description of One Tree Reef in the southern Great Barrier Reef. The description details the reef's evolution from a karst platform over 9600 years ago to its present shape, influenced by sea-level changes and wave energy patterns. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-30.
Updated reconstructions for the northern margins of the Australian plate from the Carboniferous to the Holocene. The dataset presents alternative plate tectonic models and maps the tectonostratigraphic evolution, including phases like the Westralian Superbasin rifting and the Meso-Tethys breakup. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in April 2026.
