Western Australian rivers and watercourses, including the Avon, Blackwood, and Swan Rivers, are covered by this floodplain mapping dataset. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation provides 10 polygon layers illustrating floodplain areas for design events ranging from 1 in 10 to probable maximum floods. This dataset is part of a 12-layer collection for comprehensive floodplain visualization.
An environmental assessment of 25 islets and cays in the Tregrosse and Lihou Reefs within the Coral Sea Marine Park, conducted in July 2021. The dataset includes bird population surveys and vegetation community mapping for nine vegetated cays, based on ground counts and drone imagery. It was produced by Parks Australia and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.
A study of 797 species across 10 phyla collected from 65 sampling tows in the eastern Great Australian Bight. The research, provided by Parks Australia, analyzes epifaunal macro-invertebrate assemblages in relation to water depth and sediment type to assess the effectiveness of a Benthic Protection Zone. The dataset was last updated in July 2026.
Australian research tracked 31 lactating New Zealand fur seals via satellite over 14–108 day foraging trips to compare site fidelity between continental shelf and oceanic habitats. The dataset includes 37 trips from 11 shelf-foraging females and 65 trips from 20 oceanic-foraging females, with overlap metrics calculated on a 5x5 km grid. Parks Australia provides this record to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.
Superseded 2006 geospatial overlay maps from the Ipswich Planning Scheme, provided by Ipswich City Council. The dataset includes five map layers covering defence areas, operational airspace wildlife attraction restrictions, extraneous lighting restrictions, and locality boundaries. Data was last updated on 2026-07-17 and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
SUPERSEDED 2006 maps from the Ipswich Planning Scheme detail places of cultural significance and streetscape value. The dataset includes four superseded map layers covering historic places, trees, indigenous sites, and historic infrastructure. Ipswich City Council created this data, which was last updated on 2026-07-17.
The Great Barrier Reef shelf area is covered by a high-resolution bathymetry grid with approximately 30-meter pixel spacing, known as gbr30. This dataset was developed by integrating multibeam, singlebeam, electronic chart, and airborne lidar bathymetry data from sources including the Australian Hydrographic Office and Geoscience Australia. It was used to assess deep-water habitat for crown-of-thorns starfish at 22 selected 'super spreader' and tourism reefs.
Research data on the effects of coastal upwelling on primary production and fish distribution in the Great Australian Bight. The dataset likely contains measurements of chlorophyll a, zooplankton biomass, and densities of sardine, anchovy, and southern bluefin tuna eggs and larvae. The record is provided by Parks Australia and was last updated in July 2026.
A geospatial data package containing potential habitat and fragmentation for eight species groups in the urban Australian Capital Territory. The data includes connected habitat layers showing core and corridor habitat, and remnant patch layers for fragmented areas. It was created by the ACT Government using ecological connectivity models based on expert-elicited metrics and was last updated in June 2026.
Measurements of 35 known metabolites from one rose cultivar, extracted from supplementary tables of two scientific publications. The data is structured as a Frictionless Tabular Data Package, with metabolites and organisms annotated using resolvable identifiers from CHEBI, NCBITaxonomy, and Plant Ontology. It was created by Philippe Rocca‐Serra of the University of Oxford to demonstrate FAIR data principles and reanalysis workflows.
Dung beetle community and dung removal data were collected in 2011 and 2015 as part of the SAFE research project on the effects of habitat modification and fragmentation in tropical forests. The dataset includes species abundance counts from pitfall traps baited with human faeces, recorded at SAFE second-order points and rivers. It likely contains two related data tables per collection year, focusing on beetle community composition and associated ecosystem functioning metrics.
2018 data records the abundance of dung beetle species collected via baited pitfall traps at second-order sampling points within the SAFE project area. The dataset contains 123 rows and 85 fields, primarily consisting of species-specific abundance counts alongside site location and collection date. It was collected to study the effects of habitat modification and fragmentation on dung beetle biodiversity and associated ecosystem functioning.
A 2026 geospatial layer from the ACT Government shows the potential distribution of threatened Box Gum Grassy Woodland ecological communities. It supersedes a 2012 mapping product by Maguire and Mulvaney and is intended for environmental impact assessment. The data represents potential habitat for Yellow box-Blakely's red gum and White box - Yellow box - Blakely's red gum grassy woodlands, which are listed as Endangered and Critically Endangered, respectively.
The Cairns to Lizard Island region of the Great Barrier Reef is covered by this dataset from the Association of Marine Park Tourism Operators (AMPTO). It contains records from 64 ten-day voyages by two control vessels between July 2013 and January 2015, detailing work activities, catch per unit effort, eradicated starfish size and count, and coral cover estimates. The data was collected using Reef Health Impact Surveys (RHIS) during control dives to protect high-value tourism sites.
Parks Australia published a 2016 report on reef biodiversity patterns in the Cod Grounds and Pimpernel Rock Commonwealth Marine Reserves off New South Wales. The report describes surveys revealing distinct depth stratification, high fish biomass, and high abundance of protected grey nurse sharks. It follows a 2009 baseline survey and includes comparisons to external reference sites in the Solitary Islands.
29 passive regrowth and 25 active planting sites, aged 1-67 years, provide a chronosequence for analyzing tropical forest recovery in Australia's Atherton Tableland. Field surveys conducted between 2008 and 2013 measured structural attributes like canopy cover, height, wood volume, and stem density. The dataset, associated with the NERP TE 12.2 project, compares these sites against pasture and rainforest reference sites to evaluate restoration outcomes.
Monitoring data from November 2016 onward, collected at the end of dry and wet seasons for the NESP Project 2.1.4. The dataset contains vegetation and biomass metrics from control and treatment gully sites on commercial grazing properties in the Burdekin region. Data includes BOTANAL files on species composition and biomass, PATCHKEY files on landscape condition, and BIOMASS files on gully cover.
Standard ecotoxicology protocols determined the effects of two pesticides on larval development of the acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite. Experiments were conducted in 2018 and 2019 by the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) as part of the NESP TWQ 3.1.5 project. The dataset contains results from 4-day larval development bioassays, likely including metrics like survival and transition rates to cyprid stage.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from a 2017 ecotoxicology study on the effects of the insecticide imidacloprid on larval development of the hermit crab Coenobita variabilis. The dataset contains results from 6-day exposure experiments conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. These data aim to improve risk assessments for marine crustaceans in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area.
4797 GPS-referenced field survey sites were used to train a supervised classification of a Landsat TM5 image acquired on July 27, 2011. The resulting map classifies seagrass cover in Moreton Bay into five percentage categories for waters up to three meters deep. The dataset was produced by integrating satellite image analysis with field validation data and expert knowledge.
