Australian Ocean Data Network reports the discovery of three submerged, living patch coral reefs covering 80 km² in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria. The reefs were identified using multibeam swath sonar, seabed sampling, and underwater video, with their upper surfaces at a mean depth of 28.6±0.5 meters. Their existence suggests a past phase of reef growth under different climate and sea level conditions, and they may serve as a refuge from coral bleaching.
LIS 0.1 Degree Very High Resolution Gridded Lightning Annual Climatology (VHRAC) provides gridded annual climatologies of total lightning flash rates observed by the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) aboard the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) satellite. The dataset covers a 16-year period from 1998 through 2013, focusing on the Earth's tropical and subtropical regions with a 0.1-degree spatial resolution. It is produced and distributed by the GHRC DAAC, a NASA data center.
Tropical and subtropical regions are covered by this gridded monthly climatology of total lightning flash rates, derived from the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) aboard the TRMM satellite. The dataset spans 16 years from 1998 to 2013 and provides annual mean, diurnal cycle, and annual cycle statistics at a 0.1-degree spatial resolution. It was produced and hosted by NASA's Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC).
MYD13A2 Version 6 is a decommissioned NASA MODIS/Aqua product providing global vegetation indices at 1-kilometer spatial resolution. It offers two primary vegetation layers: the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for continuity with NOAA-AVHRR data and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) for improved sensitivity in high biomass regions. The dataset includes quality assurance layers, four surface reflectance bands (red, near-infrared, blue, mid-infrared), and four observation layers, with pixels selected based on low cloud cover, low view angle, and highest index value over a 16-day period.
MOD13A1 V006 provides 16-day composite vegetation indices derived from NASA's Terra satellite at a 500-meter spatial resolution. Its two primary layers are the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for continuity with historical NOAA data and the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) for improved sensitivity in high-biomass regions. The dataset also includes surface reflectance bands and quality assurance layers, but it was decommissioned in July 2023 in favor of a corrected version.
MODIS/Aqua Vegetation Indices Monthly L3 Global 1km SIN Grid V006 provides monthly global vegetation data at a 1-kilometer spatial resolution. The dataset includes the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), derived from atmospherically corrected surface reflectances. It is designed for monitoring vegetation conditions, land cover change, and modeling biogeochemical and climate processes.
Geoscience Australia and JAMSTEC lead an international proposal to drill a 2500-meter stratigraphic well into the submerged Lord Howe Rise. The project aims to recover Cretaceous and older sediments to define the role of continental crustal ribbons in plate tectonics and test microbial life evolution over 100 million years. Preparations included a 2016 seismic survey mapping a 20 km thick crust and a detailed 2017 site survey.
Global satellite data provides two primary vegetation indices, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), at 1-kilometer spatial resolution every 16 days. The dataset includes surface reflectance bands and quality assurance layers, with pixels selected based on low cloud cover, low view angle, and highest vegetation index value. This product is designed for continuity with historical NOAA-AVHRR NDVI data and offers improved sensitivity in high biomass regions.
73 samples collected from March to August 2019 document hydrogeochemical conditions, VOC concentrations, and microbial community composition across three chlorinated solvent-contaminated groundwater sites in Taiwan. The dataset includes field metadata and QIIME 2 outputs from 16S rRNA gene sequencing. It was authored by Bing Nan Wang and is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
OMI/Aura Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) Total Column data provides near-daily global monitoring of atmospheric SO2 from volcanic eruptions and pollution sources. The Level-2 OMSO2 product contains three retrieved SO2 vertical column values per pixel, along with quality flags and geolocation information, generated by NASA/UMBC scientists. Data is collected from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument aboard the EOS-Aura satellite, which launched in 2004 and provides a 2600 km viewing swath.
Java, Indonesia, has a 2020 exposure model covering approximately 40 million buildings, with about 27 million identified as vulnerable masonry residential houses. The model was developed by researchers from Geoscience Australia and others, integrating open-source and government datasets with Census data. It was published in 2026 to address a gap in understanding building type distribution for seismic risk assessment.
Global satellite data provides effective cloud pressure and cloud fraction derived from the Rotational Raman Scattering method. The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aboard NASA's Aura satellite, launched in 2004, collects this Level-2 product at a nadir pixel resolution of 13 x 24 km with near-daily global coverage. Each file contains data from the day-lit portion of one orbit, with approximately 14 orbits per day.
Maps of modelled climate suitability for wheat stem rust, a biosecurity risk, are provided in GeoTIFF format. The data includes outputs from eight global climate models, historical observations, and ensemble medians for monthly, phenophase, and variable-specific suitability. The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development produced this assessment using a multicriteria analysis framework.
SMEX03 Little River Micronet Soil Moisture Data: Georgia, Version 1 contains in-situ measurements from the Soil Moisture Experiment 2003. NASA collected data from the Little River Watershed in southeastern Georgia using soil moisture sensors at multiple depths and tipping bucket rain gauges. The dataset's availability on multiple platforms indicates its established role in land surface and hydrological studies.
A report on Yukon placer mining provides background information on topics such as gold characteristics, deposit locations, operations, regulations, and land use. The document includes excerpts from the Yukon Placer Mining Act and a staking guide. It was published by the Government of Yukon and last updated on April 17, 2026.
A cryostratigraphic record documents permafrost degradation and recovery following historic surface disturbances at a site in the southern Klondike goldfields. The investigation reveals three distinct ages of disturbance and recovery potentially spanning the last century, including a recent burn (2004), a 1970s disturbance, and an older early 20th-century thaw event. This dataset was published by the Government of Yukon and was last updated on 2026-04-17.
Two late Holocene eruptions from Mount Churchill, dated to approximately 1887 and 1147 years B.P., produced the White River tephra deposit covering 540,000 km². The dataset from the Government of Yukon focuses on the resedimentation of this tephra, which forms large terraces near Klutlan Glacier. It provides chronostratigraphic control for interpreting the cultural and environmental impacts of ancient eruptions.
149,114 tonnes of proven gold reserves averaging 27 g/t gold and 22.63 g/t silver were reported in February 1984. The dataset describes the Mount Skukum Volcanic Complex, a Paleocene-Eocene volcanic block covering 140 km squared with a maximum thickness of 850 meters in southern Yukon. It was published by the Government of Yukon on the open_canada platform.
A 2026 mapping project covers the northern half of the Jennings River (104O) and southern half of the Wolf Lake (105B) map areas. It describes polydeformed and metamorphosed rocks of the eastern Big Salmon Complex and Paleozoic assemblages of the Dorsey Terrane. The Government of Yukon produced this dataset, which details structural relationships and extensive stratabound pyrrhotite-sphalerite mineralization along a 6.5 km trend.
