A video transect recorded at a single station during the Lord Howe Rise survey (SS0608) conducted between 16 and 29 April 2008. The survey was a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the University of Wollongong aboard the Southern Surveyor. The objective was to collect high-quality, co-located data to test physical parameters as surrogates for benthic biodiversity patterns.
Daily meteorological measurements compiled for nine EOS Land Validation Sites across North and South America from 1991 to 2004. The dataset supports ecosystem process modeling for scaling GPP and NPP products and monitoring interannual variability. Data were aggregated from various agencies and co-located CO2 flux towers to a common daily time step for use in the BIOME-BGC model.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a review document examining the use of abiotic variables to describe marine benthic biodiversity. The document discusses the application of abiotic surrogates across spatial scales to address gaps in biological data for resource management. It was last updated on April 20, 2026.
Victoria Amaral's thesis data investigates how artificial light at night (ALAN) and climate change shape moth communities, trophic interactions, and functional traits in tropical forests. The research includes field studies in Hong Kong and Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden in China. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-29.
Australia's maritime boundaries in the Timor and Arafura Seas are depicted in this map, produced for the Australian Fisheries Management Authority. It was updated in 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia/Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty and includes icons to explain fishing zones. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Darwin and Bynoe Harbour region in Australia is the focus of a four-year collaborative habitat mapping program. The data likely contains predictive maps of benthic communities resulting from scientific analyses by Geoscience Australia, AIMS, and the Northern Territory Government. The program was funded by the INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG Project offset funds and co-investments.
Quantitative abundance data for fish, megafaunal invertebrates, and algal percent cover were collected via transect-based counts at multiple depths across Temperate Australia. The dataset, derived from research led by Edgar and Barrett, includes temporal replication on a yearly scale and focuses on monitoring new Tasmanian Marine Protected Areas. The Australian Ocean Data Network manages this record, which was last updated in April 2026.
Quantitative transect data captures fish and invertebrate abundance and algal cover across temperate Australian rocky reefs. The Australian Ocean Data Network manages this record, which includes temporal replication at a year scale for sites like the Kent Group. Methods originate from research on Tasmanian Marine Protected Areas established in the late 1990s.
A 2018.01 archived version of correlation tables between marine habitat classifications, including EUNIS and the JNCC Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland. The database, created by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, details relationships with other systems like the Habitat's Directive Annex I and OSPAR. It is updated every 1–2 years, with a newer 2026.01 version available.
Correlation tables linking marine habitats across multiple classification systems, including EUNIS and the JNCC Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee maintains these tables, which are updated every 1–2 years. The 2018.01 version is archived, with a newer 2026.01 version available.
The Crick Framework provides a systematic description for using Earth Observation (EO) to map habitats, developed by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee within the MEOW project. It categorizes habitats based on the existing ability to map and monitor them using EO, with detailed descriptions for Biodiversity Action Plan Priority and Habitats Directive Annex I habitats. The framework was last updated in April 2026.
A review examines the use of abiotic variables as surrogates for patterns in benthic assemblages. The document is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16. It addresses the need to manage marine biodiversity sustainably at local, regional, and global scales.
Geological mapping and bore log analysis for the Birdsville 4-mile sheet area in Queensland. The work established a sequence of at least 3,000 feet of Mesozoic sediments and a maximum 100 feet of Tertiary rocks. The dataset was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A 6.8 MB CSV dataset supporting research on ecological agriculture's role in sustainable development. The data was authored by Yi Wang and last updated on April 28, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.
Darwin and Bynoe Harbour region is the focus of a four-year collaborative habitat mapping program. The dataset likely contains analyses and interpretations of marine abiotic patterns, resulting from work by Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Northern Territory Government. It is the second of three summary reports from the program.
Australian maritime boundaries and their coordinates, produced by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority for enforcement purposes. This version is an Indonesian translation, updated in 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia/Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty. The data is not for public release by Geoscience Australia but through DEH and AFMA.
The dataset, last updated on 2026-04-16, is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It contains information from the comparative geomorphology of estuaries project, which studies Australia's near-pristine estuaries to establish baseline conditions for natural resource management.
Geoscience Australia Data produced this mapping project to improve understanding of Australia's near-pristine estuaries. The Comparative Geomorphology of Estuaries Project focused on mapping geomorphic habitats within a representative selection of these coastal systems. The dataset's last recorded update was on 2026-04-30.
Over 40 marine macrofossil species, most of them new, were identified from field work in the Mt. Young 1:250,000 sheet area. This record documents lithological sequences and fossil collections from the Lower Cretaceous, made during the 1960 and 1961 field seasons. It also includes observations of plant remains from the same strata.
DEWHA identified ten Key Ecological Features (KEFs) to support Marine Bioregional Plans. Seven of these features lie in the deep-sea, where biodiversity information is scarce. Geoscience Australia investigated habitat heterogeneity for these KEFs using its expertise in habitat mapping.
