Data from remote video monitoring experiments conducted in two eastern Tasmanian marine reserves: Maria Island Marine Reserve and Crayfish Point Research Reserve. The dataset compares survival of the sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii on reefs inside no-take Marine Protected Areas versus fished reefs to examine the impact of fishing on predators. The work also examines size-specific predation interactions in the context of size-selective fishing pressures.
Daily sea surface temperature composites derived from hourly Himawari-8 satellite images for the Bonney Coast region from November 2016 to March 2017. The data was generated by the Australian Ocean Data Network to map upwelling signatures using a topographical position index method. This study was presented at the 2017 Australian Marine Sciences Association Conference.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides data from fishing trials examining short-term survival rates for hook-caught flathead species. The data includes biological information like fish size and hooking location, with fish held in aquaria for several days to assess survival. Structured trials and volunteer fisher diaries contributed information on fish size, hook type, and hooking location to relate these factors to catch rates.
AusBathyTopo (Torres Strait) 30m 2023 is a regional-scale depth and elevation dataset compiled into a 30-meter resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The dataset was compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network from multiple sources, including multibeam surveys, LiDAR, and satellite data, and was last updated in 2026. It covers the Torres Strait area, bounded by Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef.
Multi-disciplinary data from four boreholes in the Canning Basin integrates palynological, petrographic, molecular, and stable isotopic analyses of Middle Ordovician rock samples. The study identifies the oldest cryptospores from land plants in Australian strata and correlates biomarker signatures with microbial ecology. Data was published in Global and Planetary Change in 2017 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Australian continental shelf data identifies submerged relict coastal features formed during periods of lower sea level over the last 128,000 years. The dataset maps palaeoshorelines at modal depths of 30–40 meters and 70–90 meters below present sea level, relating morphology to composition and oceanographic setting. It was published by researchers in the journal Continental Shelf Research in 2017.
UK biodiversity data lists 2300 known species of birds, bryophytes, fungi, invertebrates, lichens, and mammals associated with native oak trees (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur). For each species, it provides an association level, ecological data on tree part used, activity, age, woodland type, form, and season, plus usage data for 30 alternative tree species. The dataset synthesizes information from multiple sources to detail oak's role as a habitat.
A 2015-2017 project by Geoscience Australia and the Schmidt Ocean Institute applied a new genetic classification system to map the Perth submarine canyon. The dataset includes 20-meter resolution bathymetry, acoustic backscatter, sub-bottom profiles, and sediment samples covering an area greater than 1500 km². It was presented at the 2017 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting.
Western Australia's relative abundance of 23 commercially exploited pelagic fish species is mapped on a 0.5-degree grid from 1997 to 2006. The data are derived from commercial landings analyzed by the Sea Around Us Project and published in a 2017 peer-reviewed study. Southern bluefin tuna, narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, and greenback horse mackerel are among the species with the highest catch contributions.
65 PacBio full-length 16S rRNA sequencing samples from sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum under two flooding treatments across 7 timepoints. The dataset also includes the genome sequence and annotation of the newly characterized bacterium Trinickia sclerotiorum sp. nov. type strain MC. It was authored by Zhong-Han Shie and last updated on 2026-07-15.
White sharks are listed as Vulnerable under Australia's EPBC Act, yet their population status has been difficult to assess. This project provides national estimates of population size and trend for white sharks in Australian waters, fulfilling priority actions of the National Recovery Plan. Outputs include tools for integrating genetic, tagging, and demographic data to inform conservation and public safety policies.
The Australian Ocean Data Network presents detailed seabed bathymetric data grids for the Lord Howe Island region. The dataset includes four new grids integrating bathymetry with island topography, created to understand seabed processes and habitats. The data are also intended for modelling tsunami interactions with the island's shelf and coast.
Biological data collected by Museum Victoria between 1979 and 1983 details a particularly diverse fauna in Bass Strait. The dataset includes sediment sampling, swath mapping, and underwater video footage from surveys GA 226, HI339, and GA 233. Analysis indicates longitude and depth are important factors, but overall correlation between fauna and physical factors is poor.
A diploma thesis dataset from the Faculty of Science Center Weihenstephan investigating forest population parameters influencing bird life. The study arranged 12 areas along a natural gradient and conducted three bird population surveys from mid-April to mid-June using point and line methods. Findings include indicator species for different forest forms and a discussion on mapping method reliability.
Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich provide a dataset documenting the distribution of the yellow-bellied toad (Bombina variegata) within the Gesäuse National Park and Natura 2000 area AT221000. The data includes mapping results from 2010 and 2012 surveys, which confirmed the species at specific locations after its first demonstration in 2004. The description notes a population of around 80 adult specimens and discusses habitat challenges.
Geospatial data maps the extent and composition of temperate subtidal seagrass beds in the Furneaux Group of Islands, Tasmania. The mapping was produced by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Project 3.6 using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, bathymetric LiDAR, and field validation from approximately 400 locations. The dataset was rehosted by the Seamap Australia collaborative project and last updated in June 2026.
Transport for NSW's annual compliance report documents adherence to Commonwealth approval conditions for safety improvement works on Bells Line of Road. The report covers the fifth year of compliance, from 3 November 2019 to 3 November 2020. It provides evidence of compliance with conditions set under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
Passive acoustic data from the Perth Canyon submarine canyon off Western Australia, correlated with weather and ship traffic data. The dataset characterizes the marine soundscape between 5 and 3000 Hz, quantifying contributions from geophony, biophony, and anthrophony. It was collected by Australia's Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) and published by Parks Australia.
Nature30 sites are a non-statutory, bottom-up approach to conserving land for biodiversity as Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs). These sites contribute to Scotland's goal of protecting 30% of its land and sea by 2030. The dataset is provided by the Scottish Government via SpatialData.gov.scot and was last updated on 2026-07-10.
116 villages in northern Senegal were surveyed for environmental and parasitological data related to schistosomiasis transmission. The dataset includes parasitological surveys of 1,385 schoolchildren from a random subset of 29 villages, alongside ecological surveys quantifying intermediate host snail abundance, infection, aquatic vegetation, debris, and water characteristics. It was authored by Sidy Bakhoum and last updated on 2026-06-04.
