A geological case study assesses the CO2 storage potential of the Early Cretaceous Gage Sandstone in the offshore Vlaming Sub-basin, Western Australia. The analysis integrates 2D seismic interpretation, well log data from 8 wells, and biostratigraphic review to characterize the reservoir. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network as part of a National Carbon Infrastructure Plan study.
NESP TWQ Project 3.2.5 data from the Australian Ocean Data Network concerns the testing and implementation of a water quality metric for the 2017 and 2018 Great Barrier Reef report cards. The metric is based on satellite remote sensing of near-surface chlorophyll and total suspended solids concentrations, providing wide spatial and temporal coverage. The dataset is associated with a research program to develop a new approach for the reef report card, as the current metric has faced criticism.
Project 121.37 describes a 28-day multi-institutional marine survey conducted aboard the BMR vessel Rig Seismic in September-October 1992. The survey collected baseline environmental data on sediment composition and contaminants on the NSW continental margin between Wollongong, Sydney, and Newcastle. It involved personnel from the Sydney Water Board, Sydney University, the Geological Survey of New South Wales, and the Bureau of Mineral Resources.
Eight gravity cores from the Southern Australian Continental Margin were analyzed for porewater metabolites, major and trace elements, and radiochemical data. This record from the Bureau of Mineral Resources survey 67 provides a summary of analyses conducted both at sea and in Canberra. The data can assess long-term environmental change, Late Quaternary climate, and processes related to seafloor mineral formation.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides microfossil data from a ~2.68-meter marine sediment core near Maria Island, Tasmania, covering approximately 9,000 years. The dataset was created using polarising light and scanning electron microscopy combined with sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) analysis. It reveals a shift from cold to warm-adapted coccolithophore assemblages around 8,200 years BP.
96 to 44.5 million years ago, seafloor spreading occurred off southern Australia following continental separation from Antarctica. The dataset is a compilation of magnetic anomaly data confirming a phase of slow spreading at less than 4.4 mm/year, characterized by ridge jumps and variable spreading azimuths. Data includes critical measurements from the 1986 R/V Rig Seismic cruise and is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
NESP TWQ Project 3.1.3 extends a desktop review analyzing communication materials for landholders in the Reef Trust Tender – Burdekin and The Reef Programme. The project, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, reviewed materials from 2017 concerning readability, message framing, tone, and visual imagery. The analysis identified barriers to message acceptance and behavior adoption, such as overly complex language and unintended effects of imagery.
An ensemble of model projections simulates the impact of climate change on the northern hemisphere permafrost carbon cycle from 1901 to 2299. Monthly average diagnostic outputs are provided at a 0.5 x 0.5 degree spatial resolution under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). The synthesis effort, organized by the Permafrost Carbon Network, uses scaled CMIP5 climate model data to evaluate future carbon emissions from thawing permafrost.
3,191 km of multichannel seismic data were acquired during a 1992 survey to investigate the geological framework of the southern Lord Howe Rise and West Norfolk Ridge region. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this post-cruise report detailing the project's objectives to assess resource potential and define Australia's legal continental shelf. Data acquisition used a 3,000 m streamer and 49 litre sleeve gun arrays over a 21-day period.
First detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus. The dataset includes rock samples from 41 stations, with pre-Quaternary rocks obtained mainly by dredging. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in June 2026.
The Arrinthrunga Formation dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes a complex Upper Cambrian carbonate and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sequence deposited in an extensive epeiric sea in central Australia. The data likely contains geological observations on lithologies, evaporites, and algal bioherms from the Georgina Basin. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-27.
Nearly 1.8 million gravity observations, including 1.4 million ground stations and over 450,000 line kilometers of airborne data, underpin this 2019 national grid. The dataset integrates ground, airborne, and offshore measurements to model subsurface rock density variations across Australia and its continental margins. Processed by Geoscience Australia, it reveals geological structures for resource exploration and geophysical research.
A review of Australian data on sedimentary processes, including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and silicon diagenesis at the sediment-water interface. The dataset, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes findings from benthic chamber studies and a survey of total organic carbon content in various sediments. It was last updated on 2026-06-27.
The Integrated Monitoring of Environmental Flows (IMEF) Program investigated ecological responses to environmental flows in regulated rivers of New South Wales. The dataset likely contains monitoring results for phytoplankton communities, water quality, hydrology, and other indicators from the Barwon-Darling (Barka), Gwydir, and Namoi Rivers. It was produced by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and last updated on June 12, 2026.
IMOS - AusCPR: Phytoplankton Colour Index (PCI) data originates from the Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder survey, a joint project of CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research and the Australian Antarctic Division. The dataset aims to map plankton biodiversity, establish a long-term baseline for Australian waters, and document changes in response to climate change. It is designed to support fisheries management, detect harmful algal blooms, and validate satellite remote sensing.
The Alice Springs Mulga flux station, located approximately 170 km north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, provides measurements of energy and mass exchange between the surface and atmosphere in a semi-arid Mulga woodland. Data includes fluxes of heat, water vapor, and carbon measured via eddy covariance at 11.6 m, along with supplementary above- and below-canopy radiation, temperature, humidity, precipitation, and multi-depth soil measurements. This dataset is released by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) and was last updated in June 2026.
