Bermuda and its surrounding North Atlantic waters are the focus of this dataset from a 2009 research expedition. The data supports the study of deep-water marine caves, which are considered frontiers for discovering new fauna, including eyeless and colorless crustaceans. More than 150 limestone caves are known in the region, providing a context for exploring cave-adapted 'living fossil' species.
Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park seabed data from a 2005 cruise. The dataset comprises 12,125 individual observations of 192 species of fishes, sharks, rays, and sea snakes, recorded using 210 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS). Approximately 3,500 of the best images from related projects are stored in a reference library.
Trail locations on Crown land in Alberta, including provincial trails designated under the Trails Act. The dataset is maintained by the Government of Alberta and supersedes previous trail datasets for Glenbow Ranch and Fish Creek. It was last updated in March 2026.
A 2026 study by Ghita Amechatte investigates bacterial communities in coastal salt flats (sabkhas) of southern Morocco. The research, published on figshare, demonstrates how extreme salinity and alkalinity filter for a shared halophilic core microbiome across soil, root, and shoot compartments. The findings highlight these microbes as potential resources for saline agriculture and soil restoration.
This dataset contains benthic organism counts and marine pollutant concentrations collected in the Gulf of Mexico from July 1979 to December 1980, primarily from the NOAA Ship RESEARCHER. Data were submitted by Energy Resources Co., Inc. for the IXTOC project and processed by the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) into standard F132 (Benthic Organisms) and F144 (Marine Toxic Substances) formats. It provides paired biological and chemical measurements from the same sampling events.
Northern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park seabed data from a 2005 cruise. The dataset comprises 13,900 individual observations of 168 species of fishes, sharks, rays, and sea snakes, collected using 174 baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS(TM)). It was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in March 2026.
Supplementary file 1 accompanies a research paper proposing HerdNet, a weakly supervised framework for wildlife detection and counting. The dataset includes five caribou herds distributed across Alaska, captured in high-resolution aerial imagery from 2017 and 2019. The work by Ghazaleh Serati was published on figshare in March 2026.
From September 7 to October 10, 2004, this dataset captures observations from 229 baited remote underwater video stations in the Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It comprises 13,558 individuals from 169 species of fishes, sharks, rays, and sea snakes, alongside 1,879 images. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network as part of the Seabed Project Cruise 4.
30-meter resolution bathymetric grid for the Gifford Marine Park, part of Australia's network of 58 marine parks covering 3.3 million square kilometers. The dataset includes processed sonar data and derived morphological surface classifications based on a two-part seafloor mapping scheme. It was developed by Geoscience Australia in support of marine park management plans effective from July 2018.
This geospatial dataset tracks the movement path of Tropical Cyclone 03A across the Somali region of Puntland during 2013. Produced by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC), the records document a storm that reached wind speeds of 74 kph and caused 100-200mm of rainfall. The data covers the trajectory from the Indian Ocean to the Somali coast, including impact zones in districts such as Dangorayo, Bandar Beyla, and Garowe.
Bonaparte Gulf Basin in Western Australia and Northern Territory contains well-preserved plant microfossil assemblages from Lower Carboniferous marine sediments. The data includes 55 species across 32 genera of trilete spores, with one new genus described, and is dominated by the species Granulatisporites frustulentus. This palynological data was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Australia's network of 58 marine parks covers 3.3 million square kilometres, or 40 per cent of its exclusive economic zone. This dataset provides a 5-meter resolution bathymetric grid for the Geographe Marine Park, compiled from Geoscience Australia's holdings and processed with a hillshade image. The data supports the development of 'eco-narrative' documents for park management, which interpret seafloor geomorphology, oceanography, and ecology.
Interpretation of key seismic profiles around the Australian margin reveals three distinct rift-drift segments with different architectures. The dataset, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, was last updated on 2026-04-10. It describes features such as the Westralian Superbasin, the Ceduna Plateau, and the Gippsland Basin.
Swan Canning Riverpark (DBCA-035) is a 72.1 km² spatial dataset of public land and river reserves managed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. It delineates the waterways and adjacent Crown land reserves of the Swan, Canning, Helena, and Southern rivers, excluding private property.
One Tree Reef evolved from a karst platform now 10 to 25 meters below sea level, which was emergent before 9600-9000 years B.P. The dataset describes the reef's asymmetrical triangular shape, 5.5 km long and 3 km wide, and its vertical and lateral accretion patterns influenced by sea-level rise and wave regimes over millennia. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.
Coastal Information, Department of Transport provides spatial line data representing vegetation lines, generalized waterlines, and sand drift extents along the Western Australian coast. The dataset is derived from imagery and photogrammetric techniques to support coastal engineering and planning for horizontal setback datum estimation. Specific row and column counts are not provided.
The Van Diemen Rise in the Timor Sea's East Malita Graben area is the focus of this environmental baseline study. The data, released in 1992 by Geoscience Australia, describes modern geological processes and Quaternary evolution to inform petroleum exploration. It details sea-bottom sediments, geomorphic features like channels and banks, and the effects of past sea-level changes.
Ramsar sites are wetlands of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention. This dataset contains basic site details for all designated Ramsar sites within the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, provided by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-14.
The 2nd UK Habitats Directive Report submitted in 2007 contains conclusions on the conservation status of all terrestrial and marine species listed under Annex I present in the UK during the 2007-2012 reporting period. The dataset was produced by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee as part of the mandatory six-year EU reporting cycle. It presents the summarized findings for each species considered.
Habitat Reports summarize the conservation status of terrestrial and marine habitats listed under the EU Habitats Directive. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee submitted this second UK report to the European Commission in 2007, covering the period 2007-2012. The dataset presents the conclusions for each habitat assessed.
