Geoscience Australia Data provides a 2D seismic profile from the offshore Canning Basin, Western Australia, interpreted as a probable complex impact structure. The feature, named the Haines Structure, is symmetrical over approximately 2.5 km and is characterized by a central uplift, depressed upper surface, and deformed intervening package. The structure lies within carbonate units of Eocene or Early Oligocene age and was last updated in the platform on 2026-04-30.
Pore-water and solid-phase data from the Kazan Mud Volcano constrain methane fluxes and anaerobic oxidation rates in cold seep sediments. Model results indicate a narrow 14-18 cm depth interval for methane oxidation and suggest microbial biomass accounts for about 20% of total organic carbon. The dataset was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Barrow, Alaska, ground site data from the NASA-led ARCTAS field campaign during the International Polar Year 2007-2008. The dataset features Bromine monoxide (BrO) measurements collected using the MAX-DOAS method to study halogen radical chemistry and its role in Arctic atmospheric processes. It was created to address campaign objectives including understanding long-range pollution transport, boreal forest fire impacts, and aerosol radiative forcing in the climate-sensitive Arctic region.
Australian Ocean Data Network presents data from a fleet of ocean bottom seismographs deployed in Australian waters. The instruments have a broadband frequency range and are capable of recording both passive-source seismic data and active-source data generated by airgun arrays. An abstract describing the data was presented at the 2017 Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association Conference.
STRAT_Ground_Data contains ground site measurements from the NASA Stratospheric Tracers of Atmospheric Transport campaign, conducted from May 1995 to February 1996. The dataset features lidar and in-situ measurements from sites at Mauna Loa and Table Mountain, targeting long-lived tracers like ozone. It was collected to define transport rates of trace gases and to provide data for testing 2D and 3D atmospheric models.
A 26-year remotely sensed dataset maps the seasonal shoreward intrusion of the East Australian Current (EAC) off northern New South Wales. The Australian Ocean Data Network produced this dataset using AVHRR Sea Surface Temperature (SST) imagery from 1992 to 2018. It enables direct measurement of intrusion area and distance-to-coast.
435.4 MB of stomatal measurement data and leaf carbon isotope measurements accompany the R code for the Franks model CO2 proxy analysis. Hannah Morck published this dataset on figshare in April 2026 to recreate the data analysis and CO2 reconstructions from the associated paper. The data includes stomatal density, pore length, guard cell dimensions, and model input/output files.
Geoscience Australia presents a lecture on a technical capacity-building program between Australian and Indonesian earthquake scientists. The collaboration aimed to improve earthquake science and cooperation to develop a modern seismic hazard map for Indonesia. The talk was delivered as part of the Distinguished Geoscience Australia Lecturer series on 23 May 2018.
Tasmania is the location for this seismic refraction survey conducted on the site of the Barrington (Devil's Gate) dam and power station. The survey was made for the Hydro-Electric Commission of Tasmania in 1961. The record is provided by Geoscience Australia Data.
Mohammad Tofayal Ahmed from the University of Science and Technology performed a hydrogeological investigation of the south-eastern coastal aquifer of Bangladesh. The dataset includes results from step-drawdown tests on four single wells, analyzing well performance, aquifer transmissivity, and lithological data. The study identified the aquifer as Early Miocene age, consisting of Upper and Middle Boka Bil formations.
Global monthly ocean surface temperatures and anomalies reconstructed on a 2-degree grid since 1854. The dataset is produced by the NASA NOAA Climate Data Record program, using in-situ observations from sources like ICOADS and Argo floats, with anomalies calculated against a 1971-2000 climatology. Version 5 implements improved statistical methodologies and new data sources for better representation of El Niño and La Niña events.
NASA's BOREAS project inventory includes measurements from airborne campaigns and ground stations. Data sets contain precipitation, streamflow, and meteorological data from multiple stations across Canada, collected primarily from 1994 to 1996. The project also incorporates surface and upper air meteorological data spanning from 1961 to 1997.
Elemental composition measurements for plants and soil were collected from a three-year (2014–2016) factorial experiment in a native Australian grassland. The experiment manipulated rainfall patterns and root herbivore presence across 36 plots. Data includes macro- and micronutrient levels (e.g., C, N, P, K, Mg, S, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Na, Mo, Al) for both soil and plant material.
The 140,000 km² Kenn Plateau is a thinned continental fragment that rotated 45 degrees clockwise after breaking away from Australia. Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological description of its structure, including fault blocks, sedimentary basins with kilometers of sediment, and volcanic chains. The dataset, last updated in 2026, details its tectonic evolution from the Cretaceous to the present, including subsidence of over 2000 meters.
A 1D coupling model between seismic and airglow perturbations on Venus. The model was used to produce results for a 2026 publication in Earth and Space Science. The dataset is a 9.9 MB ZIP file published under a CC-BY-4.0 license by author Quentin Brissaud.
Codes and data supporting the research article 'Aerial and Space-borne Seismology on Venus: Viability and Design Implications for Future Missions'. The 1.0 GB ZIP archive, authored by Quentin Brissaud and licensed under CC-BY-4.0, was last updated on May 19, 2026. It is intended to reproduce the results published in Earth and Space Science.
The George V Basin in East Antarctica contains seismo-stratigraphic evidence of late Quaternary ice sheet evolution. The dataset, from Geoscience Australia, integrates Chirp sub-bottom profiles, multi-channel seismic data, and sediment cores to distinguish four glacial facies and two sediment drift facies. Radiocarbon ages from sediment cores link these facies to events including the Last Glacial Maximum.
12 estuaries in southwest Western Australia are examined for surface sediment and water column nutrient concentrations. The dataset includes calculated sediment loads ranging from 0.2 to 10.8 kg m-2 year-1 and explores relationships with sediment total nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon, and sulfur. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated on 2026-04-30.
Geochemical analyses from eight gravity cores collected during Bureau of Mineral Resources survey 67 offshore South Australia, Victoria, and West Tasmania. The data include porewater metabolites, major and trace element abundances, radiochemical data, and paleoceanographic indicators. This record, published by Geoscience Australia, provides a database for assessing environmental change, climatic history, and seafloor mineral formation processes.
Geoscience Australia Data compiled seafloor spreading magnetic data for the southern margin of Australia. The dataset documents a phase of slow spreading (half-rate < 4.4 mm/year) from continental breakup at 96 Ma until A20 time (44.5 Ma), including data from the 1986 R/V Rig Seismic cruise. It characterizes ridge jumps and variable spreading azimuths, comparing them to patterns in the Gulf of Aden.
