40 percent of Australia's exclusive economic zone is covered by a network of 58 marine parks. This 40-meter resolution bathymetric grid for the Perth Canyon Marine Park was compiled from Geoscience Australia's holdings to support park management. The data release includes derived morphological surface classifications based on a two-part seafloor mapping scheme.
12 papers comprise this thematic issue on the McArthur-Mt Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt, which hosts major zinc, copper-gold, and uranium deposits. The volume reports on the NABRE project's objectives, including basement evolution, sequence stratigraphy, and integrated chronostratigraphic analyses. The framework studies are intended for geoscientists working on Palaeoproterozoic successions worldwide.
The southern Taroom Trough and overlying Surat Basin in Australia are described through isopach, structure contour, and palaeo-geological maps. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia, details a 50,000 km² trough with up to 10,000 m of sedimentary fill and a 300,000 km² basin with up to 2500 m of Jurassic-Cretaceous sediments. It was last updated on 2026-04-30.
A 2017 modelled picture of the distribution of native vegetation remaining across Victoria, Australia. The dataset, produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, helps inform biodiversity investment, land regulation, and environmental assessment. It replaces the previous version NV2010_EXTENT_V3.
Experimental data details the lysis phenotypes of two *Mycobacterium smegmatis* phages following targeted gene deletions. The dataset includes results from plaque size assays, lysis timing in liquid culture, and burst size measurements for mutants. Richard S. Pollenz published this work in April 2026.
Winter and summer surveys from August and February in Jervis Bay, Australia, collected data on sediment properties, biogeochemistry, and infauna. The dataset includes classified habitat maps based on combined abiotic parameters, created using Boosted Decision Tree and cokriging models. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated on 2026-04-30.
Geoscience Australia compiled this multibeam sonar bathymetry data for Bremer Marine Park, gridded to a 100-meter spatial resolution. The dataset covers the Bremer Canyon and adjacent smaller canyons incising the continental slope and outer shelf. This research was supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub.
A point dataset shows the locations of Park Features in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by City Services and the Parks and Conservation Service. Attributes include location description, suburb, asset sub type, and material.
Geoscience Australia Data conducted a desktop study investigating potential links between marine seismic surveys and commercial fish catch rates in the Bass Strait and Gippsland Basin. The analysis used historical fishing logbook data and seismic survey records, employing three novel generalized linear models to test for relationships. The study, last updated in April 2026, found no clear or consistent statistical relationship between seismic operations and subsequent catch rates.
108.3 MB of data from figshare addresses the urgent need to understand how plant-microbiome interactions buffer compound climate extremes. Authored by 'lin' and last updated in May 2026, this dataset likely contains measurements of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and bacterial outcomes under abrupt hydrological stress sequences.
The Mounted Assembly for Planktobenthic Sampling (MAPS) was deployed on the Carnarvon Shelf in Western Australia. This dataset likely contains records of benthic and planktobenthic fauna collected concurrently using a novel tri-layered net system attached to an epibenthic sled. The concurrent collection method supports research into larval ecology, nutrient cycling, biogeography, and surrogacy.
A report from Geoscience Australia, last updated in April 2026, tests the relationship between physical seabed attributes and benthic macrofauna distribution. The analysis is based on factors like sediment grain size, carbonate content, sediment mobility, water depth, and organic carbon flux. Results are applied to the broader Northern Planning Area to inform marine management plans.
A research project investigates the potential impacts of low-frequency sound from marine seismic surveys on marine fauna. The study, developed in response to stakeholder concerns about a survey in the Gippsland Basin, comprises six components including sound modelling, hydrophone monitoring, and fish behavior tracking. The data is presented by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in April 2026.
Still imagery from two seabed mapping surveys in 2009 and 2010 characterizes benthic communities in the northeastern Joseph Bonaparte Gulf. The study correlates species like Mopsella sp. and Xestospongia sp. with abiotic variables such as pheophytin and mud content. This dataset from Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science provides baseline information for marine reserve management and environmental impact assessments.
A study by Patricia Tatemoto, last updated April 2026, examines stress responses in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under different predictability conditions. The dataset includes non-invasive ventilatory frequency measurements taken before and after exposure to a confinement stressor across predictable, random, unpredictable, and control conditions. It is hosted on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A flythrough video visualizes the bathymetry of the southeast Tasmanian shelf, highlighting rock reefs as benthic habitats. The underlying bathymetric image is derived from multibeam sonar data collected in 2008 and 2009, gridded at 3-4 meter resolution. The work was a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the University of Tasmania's Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies, funded under the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities programme.
Kenichi Tamura's research data from 2026 investigates membrane lipid order as a stability-indicating metric for therapeutic extracellular vesicles (EVs). The dataset likely contains experimental results from human fibroblast-derived EVs subjected to detergent exposure, vortex mixing, freeze-thaw cycling, and lyophilization-reconstitution. It includes measurements of corrected generalized polarization (cGP), particle size, protein concentration, CD63 levels, and wound closure potency from scratch assays.
Global predictions for climatically suitable areas for Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Ficus tikoua, generated using the MaxEnt model under current and future climate scenarios. The dataset, a 123.5 KB PDF authored by Zhengfeng Chen and last updated in April 2026, provides a screening framework for evaluating these species as candidates for rocky slope rehabilitation in karst regions.
A Norian-age palynoflora from the upper Flagstone Bench Formation in East Antarctica's Prince Charles Mountains. The assemblage contains taxa common in Tethyan Laurasian regions and is assigned to the Australian Minutosaccus crenulatus Zone. This record, provided by Geoscience Australia, includes the first documented Triassic dinocyst from Antarctica.
A 75.6 KB Excel dataset from figshare details the investigation of N-acyl-homoserine lactone-based quorum sensing in underexplored bacterial lineages. Author Christy R. Handel published findings on April 20, 2026, expanding known diversity beyond the canonical Pseudomonadota model. The data likely contains results from genomic analyses, LC-MRM-MS assays, and targeted gene disruption experiments.
