Geoscience Australia Data produced an environmental summary report for the Vlaming Sub-basin and Mentelle Basin, scheduled for acreage release under the 2007-2011 Energy Security Initiative. The report synthesizes geological, sedimentological, oceanographic, and ecological information to characterize benthic habitats and produce a seascape map. It is associated with a Geographic Information System (GIS) containing analyzed seascape data.
March and August 2021 data contain total aboveground biomass, necromass, and carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus content for samples from herbaceous wetlands in Louisiana's Atchafalaya and Terrebonne basins. Measurements were taken at six sites representing a freshwater-to-saline gradient, with five sites adjacent to the Coastwide Reference Monitoring System. The dataset is hosted by ORNL_CLOUD and appears on multiple government data platforms.
A 200 Myr geological record (1800-1600 Ma) of intracontinental rifting in northern Australia, produced by Geoscience Australia Data. The data documents three stacked sedimentary basins and the evolution from fluvial-lacustrine to deep marine depositional environments. The record is presented as a field guide for investigation through mine visits and outcrop geology.
Geoscience Australia provides bathymetry grids and derived morphological surface classifications for the Geographe Marine Park. The data supports the management of Australia's network of 58 marine parks, which cover 40 percent of the nation's exclusive economic zone. This release includes 5-meter resolution bathymetric grids processed from sonar data and a classification of seafloor slope into Plain, Slope, and Escarpment categories.
A geological bulletin summarizes regional mapping results from 1961 to 1967 over an area of 67,000 km² near Townsville. The work was conducted by teams from the Bureau of Mineral Resources and the Geological Survey of Queensland. It details the geological evolution from the Precambrian/Cambrian through to the Cainozoic, covering major structural events, sedimentary basins, and economic geology.
Geoscience Australia provides bathymetry grids and derived morphological surface classifications for the Gifford Marine Park. The data supports management of Australia's network of 58 marine parks, covering 3.3 million square kilometres. It is used to develop eco-narrative documents interpreting seafloor geomorphology, oceanography, and ecology.
Mexico's ecosystem functional types are mapped at 0.05-degree resolution for 2001-2014. Sixty-four functional types were derived from a time-series of MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) data, representing spatial patterns and temporal variability of ecosystem functioning. The dataset is hosted by ORNL_CLOUD and appears on multiple government data platforms.
Geoscience Australia developed seven geomorphic conceptual models for Australian estuaries and coastal waterways. Each model includes a three-dimensional block diagram and flow diagrams depicting hydrology, sediment dynamics, and nutrient dynamics. The report is part of the National Estuaries Assessment and Management project and can be used as a decision support tool for environmental managers.
Long-term survey data measures phytoplankton communities as a guide to ocean health in Australian waters. The dataset is a joint project of CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere and the Australian Antarctic Division, funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System. It provides binned products for time series analysis, including raw species counts and derived indices.
Northwest Torres Strait is the focus of this report containing preliminary results from Geoscience Australia survey 273. The survey measured trade wind conditions and acquired multibeam sonar, current meter, grab sample, vibro-core, underwater video, meteorological, and Landsat imagery data to characterize mobile sediments and hydrodynamics. It was undertaken as part of a Torres Strait CRC research program, with results compared to a prior monsoon-season survey.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts a dataset on the seasonal in situ ecophysiology of three habitat-forming seaweeds: Ecklonia radiata, Phyllospora comosa, and Macrocystis pyrifera. Data were collected over a two-year period from September 2010 to August 2012. The study used multiple performance indicators including photosynthetic characteristics, pigment content, chemical composition, stable isotopes, and nucleic acids.
A figshare dataset by Yuzhen Tian, last updated in April 2026, containing genomic and experimental data related to Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in citrus. The study compares bacterial communities from symptomatic and escape trees, identifying four Burkholderia strains with inhibitory activity against the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. The dataset includes results from genomic analyses and field trials showing strain G24 reduced pathogen titers and promoted plant recovery.
A survey of shallow-shelf temperate reef habitats across seven sites in southeast Tasmania, conducted in 2008 and 2009. The report describes methods and preliminary results from multibeam sonar mapping, underwater video characterization, and high-resolution Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) photography. The collaborative research was completed by the Tasmania Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute and Geoscience Australia.
Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory features a landscape of great age. The dataset, provided by Geoscience Australia, challenges previous interpretations of Tertiary uplift cycles by presenting evidence of Cretaceous sedimentary rocks filling palaeovalleys. It argues the Cretaceous marine transgression was the most significant event, with minimal landscape modification since the late Mesozoic, including an escarpment retreat of less than 500 meters.
Experimental data and code for a study on how shrub encroachment intensifies insect herbivory under cold stress. The dataset, authored by Yilin Dang, is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated in May 2026. It is a small dataset, totaling 87.1 KB, with files in TXT and XLSX formats.
Fourteen river and stream sites in Amazonas and Acre, Brazil, were sampled for carbon and water chemistry variables. Measurements include carbon pools, CO2 respiration and evasion, dissolved oxygen isotopes, and bacterial cell concentration. Data collection occurred from July to September 2005 during a severe drought, with eight sites resampled in August-September 2006 under normal conditions.
169 coal-fired power plants across China were analyzed for single-particle elemental profiles and cellular toxicity. The dataset, created by Miao Xu and last updated in April 2026, uses interpretable machine learning to identify iron-rich nanoparticles as a key toxic driver, explaining 27.4% of oxidative stress and 16.9% of cytotoxicity. It includes a high-resolution national inventory estimating 236 tons of iron-rich nanoparticle emissions in 2020.
Metagenomic sequencing data from a 2026 study investigating taxonomic and functional shifts in the rhizosphere microbiome of tobacco plants affected by bacterial wilt. The dataset compares symptomatic and asymptomatic plants across two locations (Fenggang and Bozhou), forming four groups (FA, FS, BA, BS). It was authored by Ligang Xiang and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
234 taxa of toxic and potentially harmful microalgae were identified across Pacific and Caribbean waters of Panama. This dataset, authored by Kathia Broce and published in 2026, provides a multi-habitat assessment from monthly surveys between June and October 2024, with exploratory observations from 2023. It integrates taxonomic profiling with environmental measurements to establish an ecological baseline for harmful algal bloom risk.
