A study comparing phytoplankton and benthic microalgae responses to nutrient loads in tidal creeks with and without secondary treated sewage in a tropical estuary. The dataset likely contains measurements of sewage markers like coprostanol, nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, primary productivity rates, and chlorophyll a concentrations. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated on 2026-04-20.
Phosphorus content measurements for plant organs across Chinese forests, grasslands, and deserts. Data includes organ-specific means and biomass-weighted totals derived from field investigations conducted between 2013 and 2019. The dataset was created by Cong Yu to support calculations of vegetation phosphorus density.
Geoscience Australia compiled multibeam sonar bathymetry data gridded to 100-meter spatial resolution for the Bremer Marine Park. The park is part of Australia's network of 58 marine parks covering 3.3 million square kilometers. This compilation supports management plans and research by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub.
A multi-disciplinary study of methane seepage at the Kazan mud volcano in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Data was collected via the manned submersible Nautile, ship-based sediment coring, and geophysical surveys, integrating microbiology, biomarker, pore water, and solid phase geochemistry. Results indicate an anaerobic oxidation of methane rate of 6 mol m-2 year-1 and advective flow velocities of a few centimeters per year.
12 vibro-cores from Ashmore Reef provide data on sediment facies and coral growth phases over the past 11,000 years. The dataset, sourced from Geoscience Australia Data, includes carbon dates ranging from 970 to 2020 BP, indicating a major bio-facies change around 2000 BP. It models reef development based on sea level curves and facies changes extrapolated from the One Tree Reef model.
Geoscience Australia provides a 40-meter resolution bathymetry grid for the Perth Canyon Marine Park. The data release supports the management of Australia's network of 58 marine parks, covering 3.3 million square kilometers. The grid is derived from compiled sonar data and is used to create seafloor morphological surface classifications.
Geoscience Australia is implementing an international seabed geomorphology classification system to map parts of Australia's Marine Park network. The standardized maps describe the shape and evolution of underwater landscapes to support decision-making for the sustainable ocean economy. The approach is designed to simplify complex seabed interpretations for a broad range of end users.
The dataset describes the geological evolution and tectonic style of the Lawn Hill Platform Cover, a sequence of Proterozoic sediments and volcanics northwest of Mount Isa. It details three subdivisions of the sequence—the Bigie Formation, Fiery Creek Volcanics, Surprise Creek Formation, and McNamara Group—and their deformation into basins and domes. The data, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, highlights stratigraphic horizons containing economic Cu, Pb, and Zn sulphide deposits.
2000-2005 raster datasets of peak wave periods for the Greater North Sea and Celtic Seas, with a 300-meter cell resolution. The layers were built using offshore data from the National Oceanographic Centre's ProWAM model and augmented with a high-resolution DHI Spectral Wave model for coastal areas. The data is provided as GeoTIFF files representing different percentiles, with units in seconds.
GeoTiff datasets of significant wave height calculated for the period 2000-2005 with a raster cell size of 300 meters. Layers represent different percentiles, from the 90th percentile to the maximum (100th percentile) wave height, with units in meters. The data was produced for the EMODnet Seabed Habitats project by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, combining a 12.5km offshore wave model with a high-resolution coastal model.
A long-term geological history of Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, focusing on landscape stability since the late Mesozoic. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes evidence of Cretaceous sedimentary infill and the persistence of a stream network. It was last updated on 2026-04-16.
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 Precambrian or Cambrian-Ordovician rocks through multiple orogenies and basin formations up to the Cainozoic.
Survey 273 by Geoscience Australia acquired multibeam sonar, current meters, grab samples, vibro-cores, underwater video, meteorological data, and Landsat imagery to characterise seabed hydrodynamics and mobile sediments in northwest Torres Strait. The report compares results from this trade wind season survey with monsoon season data from Survey 266, addressing objectives of the Torres Strait CRC research program. Data was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
El Batán in Estado de México and CENEB in Sonora, Mexico, are the locations for this arthropod collection. The database contains data on arthropods caught using Malaise traps in maize and wheat fields planted with flower strips over three years (2021-2024). Arthropods were sampled regularly at five distances from the flower strips and assigned to taxonomic and functional groups by author Abel Saldivia-Tejeda from CIMMYT.
2015 and 2018-2019 surveys collected gridded multi-beam echosounder bathymetry data within Australia's Hunter Marine Park. The dataset was acquired by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment aboard the RV Bombora, funded by the National Environmental Science Program. It supports mapping of seabed habitats and key ecological features like the Continental Shelf Reef.
1.4 MB of supplementary material in an XLSX file, published on figshare by Marlon Alexander Gancino Guevara under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The data likely contains experimental results supporting research on bacterial extracellular vesicles and host inflammatory activation. The file was last updated on May 23, 2026.
A national GIS file from the Hunters Association delimits game management unit activity areas. This data is updated annually and supports the implementation of province-wide fauna management plans and the rental of hunting rights. The file is provided by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a Creative Commons Public Domain Mark license.
A 200-million-year geological record from 1800 to 1600 Ma preserved in northern Australia's Mount Isa region documents the breakup of the Nuna supercontinent. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides this field guide detailing three stacked sedimentary basins and their evolution from fluviatile-lacustrine to deep marine environments. The guide was last updated on April 16, 2026.
A 2026 report from Geoscience Australia provides conceptual models for seven types of Australian estuaries and coastal waterways. Each model includes a three-dimensional block diagram depicting structure, evolution, and geomorphology, overlain with flow diagrams for hydrology, sediment, and nutrient dynamics. The models were developed as part of the National Estuaries Assessment and Management project.
Fifteen planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined in cores from the Coral Sea. Four events are newly recognized, leading to the proposal of two new subzones and the redefinition of two existing ones. The assemblages show marked stability, dominated by spinose, oligotrophic taxa, with tropical and subtropical species dominant.
