A 26-year dataset spanning 1992 to 2018 uses AVHRR Sea Surface Temperature (SST) to map the East Australian Current (EAC) off northern New South Wales. The mapping, performed with a Topographic Position Index technique, enables direct measurement of the current's area and distance-to-coast. This data provides quantitative evidence that the EAC moves closer to the coast in austral summer and autumn, influencing seasonal coastal ocean dynamics.
Geoscience Australia Data presents a fleet of Australian ocean bottom seismographs (OBSs) with broadband frequency range, a capability available at only five or six institutions globally. The dataset includes passive-source seismic data from earthquakes and ambient noise, active-source data from airgun arrays, and concurrent monitoring of seismic survey noise and whale calls. The abstract was presented at the 2017 Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) Conference & Exhibition.
Eastern Mediterranean Sea sediment pore-water data from the Kazan Mud Volcano, used to model methane concentrations and anaerobic oxidation rates. The dataset includes depth-dependent measurements of sulfate, methane, and conservative pore-water constituents like sodium and boron, supporting model predictions of gas hydrate formation. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated on 2026-04-30.
Colombian sugarcane-producing departments provide the geographic scope for this dataset. It contains 252 disease occurrence records and damage index assessments from commercial fields across nine departments, compiled by author Melissa Montoya-Arbeláez. The data supports a study evaluating the present and future risk of orange rust (Puccinia kuehnii) under climate change, with the dataset last updated in April 2026.
Four glacial facies and two sediment drift facies have been distinguished from Chirp sub-bottom profiles and multi-channel seismic data. Radiocarbon ages from sediment cores link the glacial advance producing Facies MD2 to the Last Glacial Maximum. This dataset, from Geoscience Australia Data, reconstructs the late Quaternary ice sheet/ice shelf extent in the George V Basin.
XFires project data aims to identify and characterize extreme fire events and their impacts on the Earth system. The project is part of the European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative and integrates a range of Essential Climate Variables. The dataset was authored by Erika Solano-Romero and last updated on 2026-06-21.
The 2004 Sumatra earthquake was the most lethal natural disaster of modern times, revealing a major gap in scientific understanding of Indonesian earthquake potential. This dataset describes a technical capacity-building program supported by the Australian Government, which brought Australian and Indonesian scientists together to produce a modern seismic hazard map and establish a foundation for sustainable risk reduction. The collaboration involved geologists, seismologists, geodesists, and geotechnical engineers to address building collapse risks through resilient construction practices.
A single 2D seismic profile from the offshore Canning Basin, Western Australia, images a symmetrical structure interpreted as a possible complex impact crater. The feature, named the Haines Structure, spans approximately 2.5 km and is situated within carbonate units of Eocene or Early Oligocene age. The data was published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 2026-05-14.
Air pollution data for Northern Ireland tracks substances introduced into the atmosphere from industrial, domestic, and transport sources. The dataset is provided by the Government Digital Service under the UK Open Government Licence and includes information on legislative efforts and health impacts. File formats include XML, HTML, and JSON.
Lae, Papua New Guinea's second-largest city, sits atop the Ramu-Markham Fault Zone with a convergence rate of ~50 mm/yr. Preliminary dating of deformed river terraces indicates uplift events greater than magnitude 7.0 recur every 300-400 years at a rate of ~12 m/kyr. This dataset from a PNGAus partnership project informs seismic hazard and risk assessments for the region.
A list of measurement stations for the Quebec Air Quality Surveillance Network (RSQAQ), excluding those on Montreal Island. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated on 2026-04-17.
Nine drillholes in the Cambrian Limestone Aquifer of Australia's Georgina Basin provide groundwater chemistry, whole-rock, and isotope geochemistry data. The study identifies two key geochemical interfaces, a 'supergene zone' (~10–30 m) and a 'water-intercept zone' (~40–75 m), enriched with critical elements. This integrated dataset was presented at the Australian Earth Sciences Convention in 2026.
The Yukon Geological Survey compiled geotechnical and ground temperature data from government, industry, and other contributors. The database is publicly accessible via an online portal where data can be explored interactively in web maps, tables, and time series graphics. Database contents are available for download in various formats to support the assessment of thaw-related hazard and risk.
Over 1800 high-resolution still images of the sea floor were collected during a 2011 marine science voyage to the Mertz Glacier region in East Antarctica. The survey, conducted by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division, aimed to document benthic community composition following a major glacier calving event. This dataset provides a benchmark for monitoring environmental changes in the region.
A post-cruise report from a marine seismic survey conducted by the RV Rig Seismic. The report covers the offshore Maryborough Basin, Southern Queensland Continental Margin, and Northern Tasman Basin, focusing on structure, stratigraphy, and petroleum resource potential. It is a legacy product published on data_gov_au by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
South East Australia's Otway Basin is the focus of this legacy geochemical survey. The dataset consists of explanatory notes released by the Australian Ocean Data Network, accompanying non-seismic data from Rig Seismic Survey 79. The notes are provided in HTML and PDF formats.
Westward Expedition Leg 06 in 1994 conducted a marine transit survey from Brisbane, Australia, to Tonga aboard the R/V Melville of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The dataset is a post-cruise report, likely containing geophysical and oceanographic observations from the voyage. It is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and is available in HTML and PDF formats.
A dataset from 2026 by Senjuti Sarkar, hosted on figshare, detailing the chemical synthesis of functionalized peptidomelanin polymers. The research demonstrates a proof-of-concept for creating synthetic copolymers designed to chelate uranium from groundwater. The 19.2 MB dataset supports the development of biosorbents for environmental remediation.
A 3.6 MB dataset from figshare, authored by Senjuti Sarkar and last updated in May 2026, details the chemical synthesis of functionalized peptidomelanin polymers. This novel, water-soluble fungal copolymer is synthesized outside the fungal cell without biochemical processes. The resulting polymers are functionalized with polyglutamate to chelate uranium from groundwater.
12 estuaries in southwest Western Australia are analyzed for surface sediment and water column nutrient concentrations. The dataset examines relationships between sediment loads, total nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon, chlorophyll a, and sulfur ratios. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in May 2026.
