Fifteen of 27 potential planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined from cores in the Coral Sea. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which proposes two new subzones and describes a new species, Bolliella praeadamsi. The data shows faunal assemblages dominated by spinose, oligotrophic taxa with tropical and subtropical species being dominant.
A 200-million-year record (1800-1600 Ma) of intracontinental rifting in the Mount Isa region of northern Australia, preserved in Paleoproterozoic to earliest Mesoproterozoic sequences. The data, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, documents the evolution of three stacked sedimentary basins and associated magmatic and metamorphic events. This field guide describes a geological record amenable to investigation through mine visits and outcrop geology.
A FLAC3D numerical simulation investigates the asymmetric evolution of stress and displacement fields during the horizontal layered mining of a steeply inclined, extra-thick coal seam. The model is based on the +575 m level 45# coal seam in the Wudong Coal Mine, Urumqi. Results quantify stress concentration factors and displacement gradients, identifying a target zone for gas drainage.
A bathymetry survey acquired by the University of Western Australia from March 1 to 12, 2015, using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 instruments aboard the RV Falkor. The mission aimed to conduct ROV surveys to assess marine animal abundance and identify sites for focused research, expecting to find corals, sponges, and large fish. The dataset is published with permission from Geoscience Australia and requires acknowledgment of the original scientists and the Marine Geoscience Data System.
Backscatter data for the Arafura Marine Park collected by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science from November 2-15, 2020. The survey aimed to build baseline information for benthic habitats to support a 10-year environmental monitoring plan. Data includes two 32-bit geotiff mosaic files covering the Money Shoal and Pillar Bank areas.
A conceptual surrogacy framework evaluates the habitat potential for pelagic, epibenthic, and benthic infauna in all known submarine canyons along the Australian continental margin. The methodology, developed by Zhi Huang et al. and published in Progress in Oceanography in 2018, uses geomorphic and oceanographic heterogeneity to derive broad estimates of habitat condition. The framework is intended to support marine planning and conservation decisions requiring spatial prioritization.
11 species from North and South America are included in this taxonomic revision of Solanum section Lathyrocarpum. The dataset contains digitized treatments from the journal article by Wahlert, Chiarini, and Bohs published in Systematic Botany in 2015. It provides descriptions, distribution maps, and preliminary IUCN conservation assessments for the species.
Island Beach State Park, New Jersey, Barnegat Bay data from a 2016 study comparing dune erosion during Hurricane Sandy between native Ammophila breviligulata and invasive Carex kobomugi. The dataset includes 6 Excel sheets with measurements of uprooting force, stand sizes, and 2D and volumetric erosion metrics. It was collected by author Charbonneau Bianca for the Journal of Applied Ecology.
A methodology for marine habitat mapping uses physical parameters to characterize habitats over wider areas than biological sampling allows. The dataset, from the Australian Ocean Data Network, demonstrates uncertainty calculations for extrapolating bio-physical associations in northern Australia. It maps uncertainties from physical data interpolation and cluster analysis to support marine reserve design.
A project from the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub assessed the role of habitat restoration in conserving Matters of National Environmental Significance. The project reviewed restoration techniques for four key habitats: giant kelp forests, seagrass communities, saltmarsh communities, and shellfish communities. Planned outputs include a review report and a workshop report on the cost-effectiveness of alternative restoration projects.
Scottish Government data providing an overview of sea fish landings, the Scottish fishing fleet, and the number of employed sea fishermen. The dataset is designated as National Statistics, indicating it meets official quality standards. It was last updated on July 8, 2026.
Fishery statistics provide a detailed overview of catch and net fishing effort for salmon and sea trout in Scotland. The data is based on returns from proprietors, occupiers, and agents of salmon fisheries and is published as Official Statistics by the Scottish Government. The dataset was last updated on July 8, 2026.
Northern Ireland's Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure publishes an annual series of reports providing an overview of the fisheries sector. The data, which includes accompanying Excel workbooks with tables, is designated as supporting material and is not classified as official statistics as it does not cover all of Northern Ireland. The source agency is Culture, Arts and Leisure (Northern Ireland).
Between 2009 and 2012, four marine surveys collected 2,561 individual polychaetes from 266 sediment samples in the Oceanic Shoals Australian Marine Park. The inventory, published in 2019 by researchers including Rachel Przeslawski, identified 368 species and 43 families, including new records for Australia. The data provides baseline biodiversity information to examine community variation, environmental drivers, and functional group patterns for marine management.
Jamie Davis authored a 2.0 KB text file describing a high-reliability signal conditioning kernel for embedded systems. The DULLEA core is engineered to implement dual-band hysteresis tracking and eliminate false triggers on noisy sensor channels. It was last updated on June 2, 2026.
A 23-year effort by the Nahuatl indigenous cooperative Tosepan Titataniske in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexico, has resulted in a complex agroforestry landscape. The dataset likely contains an inventory of 30 to 50 plant species with high potential for family subsistence and market sale from a floristic richness of nearly 1000 species, 200 of which are managed in coffee gardens. The analysis, by Víctor Manuel Toledo Manzur of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, evaluates product viability and includes a net utility analysis of coffee for long-term agroforestry system profitability.
SE Tasmania coastal and offshore waters were surveyed using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) integrating image capture with ship-based multibeam bathymetry. The data improved understanding of benthic habitat and marine organism distribution, with direct application to environmental management and conservation. The study was presented at the OCEANS'10 IEEE Sydney Conference in May 2010.
A 30-day experimental dataset from Purdue University West Lafayette assesses the impact of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on amphibian development under semi-realistic conditions. Northern leopard frog larvae were reared in outdoor mesocosms with sediment spiked to low, medium, and high levels of PFOS or PFOA. The data likely contains measurements of developmental stages and chemical concentrations.
A study published in Environmental Modelling & Software in 2017 applied random forest, generalised linear models, and hybrid geostatistical methods to predict sponge species richness. The research, associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network, generated a spatial distribution map of sponge species richness with high accuracy. It revealed non-linear relationships between species richness and environmental predictors and linked high richness to hard seabed features.
A 48 km² area of the Vestfold Hills nearshore marine environment was surveyed using multibeam sonar and towed underwater video to map benthic habitats. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, compares top-down and bottom-up habitat mapping approaches. It identifies habitat types like shallow boulder fields and muddy basins, relating community composition to environmental factors like substrate and depth.
