Western Australia's Canning Basin provides rock core data from four to five boreholes intersecting the Middle Ordovician Goldwyer Formation. The dataset integrates palynological, petrographic, molecular, and stable isotopic analyses to reconstruct depositional environments and microbial diversity during the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event. It includes evidence of the oldest cryptospores in Australian Middle Ordovician strata and biomarker signatures for organisms like Gloeocapsomorpha prisca.
November 2016 to March 2017 daily composites of sea surface temperature derived from hourly Himawari-8 satellite imagery. The dataset maps the dynamics of the seasonal Bonney Coast Upwelling, a key ecological feature in Australian waters. The work was presented at the 2017 Australian Marine Sciences Association Conference.
Northern Ireland habitat network maps for deciduous woodland, produced in 2020 by a consortium including Ulster Wildlife and the National Trust. The vector datasets categorize land based on its potential for habitat restoration and connectivity enhancement. The maps are intended as a decision-support tool, not a replacement for on-site ecological surveys.
632,252 expert annotations for seafloor imagery collected during 21 Antarctic research campaigns between 1985 and 2019. The annotations are part of the Antarctic Seafloor Annotated Imagery Database (AS-AID) and follow the CATAMI classification scheme. They have been reviewed by experts and are accessible via the Squidle+ platform.
Two major marine surveys in 2003 and 2007 collected biological, geological, photographic, video, and bathymetry data on the Lord Howe Rise submarine plateau. The Australian Ocean Data Network presents this data, which covers 1.6 million km² of Australia's exclusive economic zone. The research identifies ecologically significant benthic habitats, including hard substrates on volcanic peaks covering around 31 km².
A 30-meter resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) integrates depth and elevation data for the Torres Strait, a vital area at the northern end of the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset was compiled by Geoscience Australia from multiple sources, including multibeam surveys, LiDAR, and satellite data, and was last updated in 2026. This regional-scale model underpins marine habitat mapping and hydrodynamic simulations for the entire Great Barrier Reef ecosystem.
A research dataset from a study investigating shrub and herb layer diversity in five broad-leaved plantation types in the subtropical–warm temperate transitional zone of eastern China. The dataset includes measurements of species richness, phylogenetic diversity, and environmental factors like topography and soil properties. It was authored by Zhiwei Ge and last updated on 2026-05 14.
A 132.0 KB dataset published by Zhiwei Ge on 2026-05-14. It contains research data on understory species and phylogenetic diversity across five broad-leaved plantation types in the subtropical–warm temperate transitional zone of eastern China. The data was collected using grid-based nested plots in Jiangsu, measuring vegetation, topography, and soil variables.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a Late Triassic palynoflora assemblage from the upper Flagstone Bench Formation in the Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica. The dataset includes records of taxa like Enzonalasporites vigens and Ovalipollis ovalis, linking it to the Tethyan Laurasian Onslow Microflora. It is considered to be of Norian age and represents the first record of a Triassic dinocyst from Antarctica.
Geoscience Australia integrates multidisciplinary marine data, including bathymetry compilations and seabed geomorphology maps, to support planning and investment decisions. The data is delivered via the Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS), a web-based interactive mapping and decision support system. A poster on this work was presented at the Australian Marine Science Association conference in July 2025.
Geoscience Australia Data presents a multi-component study addressing stakeholder concerns about marine seismic surveys. The project includes sound modelling, hydrophone monitoring, benthic community assessment, bivalve dredging, fish acoustic tagging, and fisheries catch analysis. This work aims to translate laboratory findings on low-frequency sound impacts to realistic field conditions for commercially important species.
Site-based species richness data for understorey vegetation and soil seedbanks in the central highlands of Victoria, Australia, authored by Sarah McColl-Gausden. The dataset includes two CSV files totaling 144.9 KB, last updated on May 7, 2026. It records species counts per site with survey timing and harvest status details.
A spatial dataset from the U.S. Department of the Interior depicting structural range improvements on public and other lands in Colorado, last updated on 2026-04-14. It includes man-made features like fences, wells, and pipelines designed to improve forage, manage livestock use, and enhance rangeland health. The data is linked to the BLM's Range Improvement System (RIPS) database for budgetary and workload planning.
Geoscience Australia and the University of Tasmania produced a flythrough movie visualizing the bathymetry of the southeast Tasmanian shelf. The video highlights rock reef habitats derived from multibeam sonar data collected in 2008 and 2009 at 3-4 meter resolution. This work was part of the Marine Biodiversity Research Hub funded by the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities programme.
Geoscience Australia Data compiled a directory of deep-sea lebensspuren from thousands of high-resolution still images taken along the Eastern and Western margins of Australia. The data was used to correlate abiotic factors with biological features and to evaluate the technique's utility for quantifying biological activity and diversity in soft-sediment habitats. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.
Geoscience Australia Data produced a report testing links between physical seabed factors and biological communities. The analysis uses physical parameters like sediment grain size, carbonate content, mobility, water depth, and organic carbon flux to explain benthic macrofauna distribution. Results from the southern Gulf of Carpentaria were extrapolated to the wider Northern Planning Area, with uncertainties noted for marine planning applications.
A 2026 study by Sophia Marie Quante on figshare investigates how individual differences in exploration affect behavioral and hormonal adjustment in Lister Hooded rats. The dataset includes results from two experiments exposing rats to predictable versus unpredictable food availability and to social partners of matching or mismatching personality. It contains monitored home cage behavior, anxiety-like behavior test results, and repeated measurements of faecal corticosterone metabolite concentrations.
972 river and 354 lake sites in China were monitored monthly for dissolved oxygen concentration, percent oxygen saturation, and environmental variables from January 2005 to December 2022. The dataset, authored by Yongqiang Zhou and released on figshare, analyzes the impact of nutrient management on reversing deoxygenation trends. It includes data on biochemical oxygen demand, phytoplankton abundance, and surface water warming.
Montgomery County animal shelter intake data from the Open Admission Shelter (OAS). The dataset includes impound and outcome details for lost, abandoned, surrendered pets, and injured wildlife. It was last updated on 2026-05-29 04:11:26 and is hosted by data.montgomerycountymd.gov.
An organic production system study comparing rhizosphere bacterial communities associated with cowpea, tepary bean, and sunn hemp legume cover crops against fallow soils. The dataset, authored by Sri Kiran Reddy Alla and last updated in May 2026, likely contains results from 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and functional predictions using PICRUSt2.
