A 2007 report from the Joint Nature Conservation Committee lists actions required to improve the conservation status of Europe's most threatened terrestrial habitats. The dataset was produced to identify necessary follow-up actions to demonstrate real conservation progress as mandated by the EU Habitats Directive. It is available in XLS format and was last updated on the platform in April 2026.
34 dredge deployments were made in February 2010 to survey razor clam populations north of Walney Island. The survey, conducted by the Fisheries Science Partnership using the vessel Lord Sam II, aimed to assess commercial viability. Catches of the razor clam Ensis siliqua averaged ~5kg per successful haul, with a modal adult shell length of 185 mm.
Kelsey McGurrin's dataset includes measures of insect chewing and stippling damage, whole plant biomass, and bean yield for soybean plants from both treated and untreated seeds. The data was observed over 12 site-years (4 sites x 3 years) in the University of Maryland Soybean Varietal Trial. It is associated with the article 'Neonicotinoid seed treatments do not consistently reduce insect feeding damage nor increase yields in Maryland soy.'
Research aboard the RVIB Nathaniel B Palmer during NBP14-02 (29 January – 16 March 2014) collected seafloor imagery across a >3000 km2 area. A downward-facing digital still camera was deployed to capture images, which have been analyzed for seafloor habitats. The imagery is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A polygon layer represents marine habitats in the East Gippsland region. The mapping was funded by the Natural Heritage Trust and created by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, with data last updated in April 2026. It was developed from satellite imagery and aerial photography, with ground-truthing from underwater video.
A 6-meter resolution bathymetry dataset for the Arafura Marine Park, collected by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science from November 2-15, 2020. The survey provides baseline information for benthic habitats, including multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, seabed samples, and underwater imagery from Money Shoal and Pillar Bank. It was funded by the National Environmental Science Program Marine Biodiversity Hub to support a 10-year management plan (2018-2028).
L-serine released from Bacillus thuringiensis protoxin reprograms Enterococcus bacteria to form robust biofilms, accelerating host mortality. The dataset likely contains metabolomic, transcriptomic, and phenotypic analyses supporting this finding. It was authored by Zeyu Wang and uploaded to figshare in April 2026.
Pollen assemblage data from modern surface sediment samples collected at ten study sites in boreal and northern temperate forests of western Québec, Canada. The dataset and accompanying R scripts were created by Jonathan Lesven to determine pollen count thresholds for robust assemblages, last updated in April 2026. It includes raw data used to generate figures and tables for a submitted manuscript.
Maps provide the spatial distribution of vegetation types, soil carbon, and physiographic features for the Imnavait Creek area in Alaska. Data sources are varied and cover a period from June 1970 to August 2015. The dataset includes research grids for georeferencing.
Spatial distributions of vegetation types, soil carbon, and physiographic features in the Toolik Lake area, Alaska. The dataset includes attributes for vegetation cover, percent water, glacial geology, soil carbon, a digital elevation model (DEM), surficial geology, and surficial geomorphology. It is provided by ORNL_CLOUD and is available across multiple platforms.
Geoscience Australia compiled this 30-meter resolution bathymetric grid to support the management of Australia's 58 Commonwealth marine parks, covering 40% of the nation's exclusive economic zone. The data release includes a panchromatic geotiff combining bathymetry with a hillshade image and uses a new seafloor classification scheme based on slope morphology. This research is supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub.
Long-term landscape evolution on Groote Eylandt, Northern Territory, from the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset challenges previous interpretations of Tertiary uplift cycles by presenting evidence of Cretaceous palaeovalleys and describes landscape stability since the late Mesozoic, including escarpment retreat of less than 500 meters. It was last updated on 2026-04-10.
NOAA's National Coral Reef Monitoring Program provides fish survey data from three distinct regions along the Florida reef tract: Dry Tortugas, the Florida Keys, and Miami north to Martin County. Data collection employs a 2-stage stratified random survey design using the stationary point count method within a 7.5-meter radius cylinder. The dataset reports species composition, density, size structure, abundance, and derived ecological metrics.
August 20 to September 17, 1969, high-resolution oceanographic data was collected via CTD/STD probe from the NOAA Ship DAVID STARR JORDAN in the NE Pacific. The data, processed to the NODC F022 standard, likely contains nearly continuous vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, density, and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity. Cruise information, position, date, time, and environmental conditions at the time of each cast are also reported.
Data from the 2012 EX1202L2 expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer in the Gulf of Mexico, spanning from March 19 to April 11, 2012. The dataset combines daytime remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dives to depths under 4000 meters with nightly multibeam surveys, CTD casts, and water-column experiments. It was collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to explore benthic habitats, submerged cultural resources, and gas seeps.
NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer collected oceanographic data during the EX1202L3 expedition from April 11 to April 29, 2012. The mission focused on benthic habitats near the Deepwater Horizon site, Mississippi Canyon, and Green Canyon, combining daytime ROV dives below 4000 meters with nightly multibeam surveys and CTD casts. This dataset supports research on habitat diversity, submerged cultural resources, and water column exploration capabilities.
A 200-million-year geological record of intracontinental rifting and basin evolution from 1800 to 1600 Ma is preserved in the Mount Isa region. This field guide describes three stacked sedimentary basins and the transition from fluvial-lacustrine to deep marine depositional environments. The data was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in 2026.
The CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub survey of southeast Tasmanian temperate reefs was conducted in 2008 and 2009 aboard the RV Challenger. This report describes mapping and video characterization across seven sites, providing preliminary results from multibeam sonar, towed video, still photography, and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle deployments. The collaborative project involved the Tasmania Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute and Geoscience Australia.
A variety of alternative reconstructions are considered for the northern margins of the Australian plate. The palaeogeographic maps are updated to incorporate new plate models, dividing the tectonostratigraphic evolution into several phases from the Carboniferous to the Holocene. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-10.
Three subdivisions are recognized in the Lawn Hill Platform Cover sequence: the Bigie Formation and Fiery Creek Volcanics, the Surprise Creek Formation, and the McNamara Group. The dataset describes the geological evolution, tectonic style, and economic potential of this Proterozoic sedimentary and volcanic sequence, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It was last updated on 2026-04-10.
