Geoscience Australia developed conceptual models for seven types of Australian estuaries and coastal waterways. Each model includes a three-dimensional block diagram depicting structure, evolution, and geomorphology, overlaid with flow diagrams for hydrology, sediment, and nutrient dynamics. The report was produced as part of the National Estuaries Assessment and Management project.
Three stratigraphic subdivisions define the Proterozoic Lawn Hill Platform Cover, including the major McNamara Group with its thick carbonate sequence. Economic copper, lead, and zinc sulphide deposits are concentrated at two main horizons within the lower middle McNamara Group. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes the geological evolution, tectonic style, and economic potential of this region.
Geoscience Australia survey 273 collected data on northwest Torres Strait during trade wind conditions. The survey used multibeam sonar, current meters, grab samples, vibro-cores, underwater video, meteorological data, and Landsat imagery to characterize seabed hydrodynamics and mobile sediments. This report compares results with a prior monsoon-season survey to address objectives of the Torres Strait CRC research program.
863 MB of raw gravity data collected during the RV Investigator voyage IN2026_V01, titled 'Cook Ice Ecosystems and Sediments (COOKIES)'. The voyage departed from and returned to Hobart, operating between January 02 and February 25, 2026. Data are stored in 53 .ENV and .DAT files at CSIRO, with no processing conducted.
Multiple regional surveys between 2005 and 2013 mapped inshore benthic habitats across South Australia, including the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula, and Kangaroo Island. The data combines habitat boundaries interpreted from ortho-rectified aerial photographs with field observations, underwater video footage, acoustic mapping, and sidescan sonar. It was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network as part of a DEWNR statewide project.
A 2024-2026 project by CSIRO, JCU, and the University of Melbourne updated national stocktakes of coastal restoration activities. Outputs include updated databases for the Australian Coastal Restoration Network and Living Shorelines Australia, a draft national coordination framework, and a final report. The work compiled evidence on effectiveness, risks, and success measures across ecological, engineering, socio-economic, and Indigenous themes.
Site location data from the National Reef Monitoring Network, collating shallow reef surveys conducted around Australia and worldwide. The data is contributed by multiple organizations including Reef Life Survey, Parks Australia, and various state government departments. It supports the establishment of national marine baselines and assists in the management of Commonwealth and State marine reserves.
Module 068 from the Davis Logic V2 architecture provides a unified digital signal conditioning pipeline for embedded systems. Built entirely in freestanding, zero-heap C++11, it resolves signal imperfections like noise, drift, and deadband non-linearities using fixed-point math. The 4.9 KB text file, authored by Jamie Davis and last updated in June 2026, contains code for deterministic execution on microcontrollers without floating-point units.
Groote Eylandt in Australia's Northern Territory features a landscape of great age. The dataset likely contains evidence challenging previous interpretations of Tertiary uplift cycles, focusing on Cretaceous sedimentary infill and persistent stream networks. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in 2026.
67,000 km2 of regional geological mapping near Townsville, conducted by the Bureau of Mineral Resources and the Geological Survey of Queensland from 1961 to 1967. The bulletin details the Palaeozoic sedimentary basins, orogenic events, and granitic intrusions that shaped the region's geological history. It describes the evolution of basins like the Burdekin and Drummond through alternating marine and continental conditions from the Cambrian to the Tertiary.
NESP Marine and Coastal Hub project outputs provide a modelling framework for assessing cumulative risks of offshore renewable energy development in Australia's Gippsland region. The project used species-specific population models and whole-of-ecosystem modelling to assess twelve impact pathways, including collision, noise, and habitat effects. Outputs include spatial risk assessments and a final report to support regulatory decisions under the EPBC Act.
Alternative tectonic reconstructions for the northern margins of the Australian plate from the Carboniferous to the Holocene. The palaeogeographic maps are updated to incorporate new plate models, including Hall's (2002) configuration for microplates in the Greater Birds Head. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in 2026.
An environmental summary report for the Vlaming Sub-basin and Mentelle Basin, compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The report synthesizes geological, sedimentological, oceanographic, and ecological information to characterize benthic habitats and produce a seascape map. It was produced as part of a series for frontier basins scheduled for acreage release under the 2007-2011 Energy Security Initiative.
686 high-quality archaeal genomes and proteomes sourced from the PATRIC database were analyzed. The study compares genomic features, protein domain distributions, and physicochemical properties across archaeal species to investigate adaptations to extreme environments. The dataset was produced by Liang Wang of Nanjing Agricultural University.
20 dioecious papaya genotypes were evaluated in a greenhouse experiment for resistance to powdery mildew. The study, authored by Cláudia Roberta Ribeiro de Oliveira, measured incidence and severity of the disease on leaves. Heritability estimates ranged from 51.57% to 67.82%, and six genotypes (PMI1, PMI6, PMI8, PMI11, PMI12, PMI15) showed potential for reducing both incidence and severity.
A study on captive southern tiger cats (Leopardus guttulus) describes a semen collection method using urethral catheterization under anesthesia. The research involved 13 animals for initial dose testing and five males for serial collections, reporting mean values for volume, concentration, motility, vigor, vitality, and acrosomal integrity. The dataset was authored by G.A. Iglesias and is available via the paperswithcode platform under an Open Access license.
Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs within the Lord Howe Marine Park were surveyed from January 31 to February 6, 2020. The dataset comprises two bathymetry grids derived from multibeam sonar data at 4-meter spatial resolution, collected to establish baseline information for benthic habitats. This collaborative project was funded by the National Environmental Science Program Marine Biodiversity Hub and involved Geoscience Australia, the University of Tasmania, NSW Department of Primary Industries, the University of Sydney, and Parks Australia.
Seven survey sites in southeast Tasmania were mapped using multibeam sonar and characterized with towed video and still photography during a 2008-2009 research voyage. The dataset includes preliminary results and initial interpretations of benthic communities from the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub's Surrogates Program. High-resolution photographs were also collected by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to document reefs and associated biota.
Underwater video footage from the 2007/2008 CEAMARC voyage analyzes the physical and biological characteristics of seafloor communities across the George V Shelf. The data maps modern shelf communities, which largely represent colonization over the past 8-12 thousand years following the last glaciation. The study was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project C2 integrates Australia's largest shallow-water marine biodiversity datasets to track threats like pollution, fishing, and rising sea temperatures. The project aims to produce state-of-environment indicators for national reporting and establish a biodiversity baseline for Commonwealth Marine Reserves. Outputs include publications analyzing time series data and relationships between anthropogenic stressors and reef condition.
