Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder survey data measures plankton communities as a guide to ocean health. The dataset is a joint project of CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere and the Australian Antarctic Division, funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System. It provides five binned data products, including raw counts and derived indices, suitable for time-series analysis of biodiversity and climate response.
High-resolution bathymetry data from a 2020 survey of submarine canyons in the Gascoyne Marine Park, Australia. The survey was led by Dr. Rachel Przeslawski from Geoscience Australia aboard the RV Falkor from March 8 to April 8, 2020. This dataset includes 64m and 16m resolution geotiffs for water depths shallower than 2560m, produced from processed multibeam sonar data.
Load profile data captures the electricity consumption of 50 small and mid-size enterprises in Germany. The dataset consists of two parts: 20 plants from 2016 and 30 different plants from 2017, with measurements recorded at a 15-minute resolution in kilowatts. Fritz Braeuer from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology authored this dataset, which has been used in multiple academic publications on energy markets and storage optimization.
Biogeography of the Lord Howe Rise region synthesizes physical and biological information across a 1.95 million km² area of the Tasman Sea. The dataset describes differences in biological assemblages and species distribution between raised and subdued bathymetric features, influenced by substrate and depth. It integrates data from two marine surveys, TAN0713 and NORFANZ, to assess regional patterns at a scale of hundreds of kilometres.
South Australia's flora database contains 1,050,631 plant measurements from 224,572 sites, covering 5,565 species collected since 1976. The Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network manages this dataset, which includes vegetation structural attributes like crown openness and fire disturbance parameters. Validated data is publicly accessible via TERN EcoPlots, with records of sensitive taxa masked.
Geoscience Australia collected bathymetry data for Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs within the Lord Howe Marine Park from 31 January to 6 February 2020. The survey used multibeam sonar to create two 5 m resolution grids covering a combined area of 312 km², including transit, to establish baseline information for benthic habitats. This work was a collaborative project funded by the National Environmental Science Program Marine Biodiversity Hub.
A 6-meter resolution bathymetry dataset for the Arafura Marine Park was collected from November 2–15, 2020. Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science conducted the survey aboard the RV Solander to build baseline information for benthic habitats. The data includes multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, seabed samples, and underwater imagery from Money Shoal and Pillar Bank.
Three areas across the Torres Strait-Gulf of Papua shelf form a transect from the Fly River Delta to the shelf edge. The dataset likely contains sediment characteristics and relative abundances of benthic foraminiferal assemblages at the order level, as well as distribution patterns of individual species. The data was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-27.
13,716 records of plant and animal fossils, representing approximately 28,248 specimens, collected by the Eyasi Plateau Paleontological Expedition at Laetoli, Tanzania between 1998 and 2005. Denné Reed created this digital version of the original hard-copy catalogue, documenting Pliocene and Pleistocene fauna and flora from 4.4 million to over 200,000 years ago. The database is one of the few publicly available palaeoanthropological fossil datasets.
A digitized map and associated data from the Passamaquoddy Marine Resource Pilot Study conducted in 1982. The original map was produced by the Maritime Resource Management Service using its GEO-BASED SYSTEM, an automated geographic information system. The fisheries information was gathered by the Atlantic Coastal Resource Information Centre on behalf of federal and provincial agencies.
Research data on the gut microbial enzyme choline TMA-lyase (CutC) and its inhibition by betaine aldehyde. The dataset includes in vitro assay results and a crystal structure of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, produced by M.A. Funk at Harvard University. The workflow provides a framework for developing therapeutic inhibitors of a disease-linked metabolic pathway.
Stereo camera images of the seafloor collected by an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from 12 sites in the Gippsland Basin in June 2015. The data was acquired as part of the Gippsland Marine Environmental Monitoring project to assess potential impacts of a seismic survey on scallops. The dataset includes post-processed geotiffs, track files, and compressed mosaics from the AUV-Phoenix survey.
A study from the Australian Ocean Data Network, last updated in 2026, examining the spatial distributions and habitat associations of deep-water demersal fish species. Data was gathered from 60 strip-transects across Cordell Bank using in situ observer and video-recorded data from a submersible. The analysis focused on relationships between fish assemblages and seabed habitats at multiple spatial scales.
A 2014 snapshot of plot-based vegetation records for the Poaceae family (grasses) across Australia, extracted from the now-decommissioned TERN AEKOS repository. The data was compiled from multiple state and national survey programs, including ABARES Ground Cover Reference Sites and TERN AusPlots Rangelands. It was processed via SQL queries to create a flat table containing survey metadata, site coordinates, species, and abundance or cover measurements.
31 January to 6 February 2020 survey data from the southernmost platform reefs in the world, located in the Lord Howe Marine Park. The dataset integrates high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) seafloor imagery, sediment samples, and stereo-baited remote underwater video (stereo-BRUV) footage of demersal fish. It was collected to fill knowledge gaps on seabed habitat structure and associated fauna in the lagoon and mesophotic shelves.
Molecular and isotopic biomarker data combined with palynological evidence from the Middle Ordovician upper Goldwyer Formation in Australia. This dataset provides a rare combined proxy record for tracking the earliest land plants, specifically non-vascular bryophytes, in a period where microfossils are scarce. The data was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in 2026.
USGS_Delmarva_SedTexture_Geomorph is a polygon shapefile defining surficial sediment type, distribution, and geomorphology for nearly 1,400 square kilometers of sea floor from Maryland to Virginia. The data were created by the U.S. Geological Survey using a combination of geophysical and sample data, including high-resolution bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter intensity, as part of the Hurricane Sandy Recovery program. The interpretive layer classifies sediments according to a modified Barnhardt bottom-type system to highlight changes in secondary sediment-types like mud and gravel.
The Point Harris Marine Reserve on the northern coast of San Miguel Island, California, was surveyed using sidescan sonar and a towed camera-sled. The dataset contains real-time abiotic and biotic seabed characterizations, including substratum type, physical structure, and benthic macrofauna and flora. The data was collected and processed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with metadata last updated on 2026-06-27.
25-meter resolution spatial layers detail forest cover extent across all land tenures in New South Wales. The dataset, created for the NSW Natural Resources Commission, is based on Landsat-derived National Forest and Sparse Woody Vegetation Data grids processed with land-use masking and fuzzy-logic certainty analysis. Coverage spans from 1995 to 2020, with triennial or biennial layers until 2004 and annual layers thereafter.
The southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia, is the study area for this dataset linking physical environmental factors to benthic macrofauna. The data likely contains measurements of sediment composition, water depth, and sediment mobility, and was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The record was last updated on 2026-06-27.
