A 2002 geophysical survey collected multibeam, backscatter, and seismic data north of Shetland as part of the UK's Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA4). The survey aimed to create regional bathymetric maps, define a mud diapir province, and conduct reconnaissance in shallow waters. Data is provided by the Government Digital Service via the eu_open_data platform.
A 2004 Strategic Environmental Assessment report for the North Sea, produced by the UK Department of Trade and Industry. It provides an overview of known and likely areas with prehistoric archaeological remains dating back approximately 12,000 years. The report includes sensitivity maps indicating the relative likelihood of remains and identifies hotspots, considering geological factors like coastal uplift and ice sheet coverage.
A 2001 technical report for the UK's Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 describes the distribution and abundance of marine mammals in the North Sea. The report details eight regularly occurring species, including the harbour porpoise with a population estimated at 268,000 in summer 1994, and discusses threats from offshore industry noise, pollution, and ship strikes. It was produced as a contribution to the UK Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change).
58 Australian Marine Parks have their sea surface temperature warming rates measured over 15 years from 2003 to 2017. The dataset is derived from monthly MODIS (Aqua) satellite images and includes annual and monthly warming rates in degrees Celsius. This research was supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub.
Geoscience Australia Cruise 270 collected marine geophysical and geological data over the Kenn Plateau off northeast Australia in 2004. The survey recorded 3090 km of multichannel seismic data, continuous multibeam-sonar swath-bathymetry, magnetic data, and twelve dredge hauls of sedimentary rock samples. Data documents the plateau's thinned continental crust, rift basins, and Oligocene volcanic structures.
A multidisciplinary analysis of the George V Shelf between longitudes 142°E and 146°E, applying hierarchical benthic habitat mapping at local scales. The dataset results from integrating seismic profiles, multibeam sonar, oceanographic data, and sediment sampling to define geomorphology, sediment, and water mass boundaries. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated on 2026-05-14.
Observations of regional, lagoonal, and well water quality at Ashmore Reef have been recorded from 1991, with a more intensive program since 1999. Sea surface temperatures in surrounding oceanic waters seasonally range from 25.48°C to 30.2°C, and salinity from 34.51 to 34.75. The data was published in The Beagle journal and is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Airborne Microwave Observatory of Subcanopy and Subsurface (AirMOSS) Level 1 polarimetric radar backscattering coefficient data collected over Duke Forest, North Carolina. The dataset contains polarimetrically calibrated, georeferenced P-band SAR measurements from NASA Gulfstream-III aircraft flights conducted at least twice per year between 2012 and 2015. These measurements are designed to retrieve root-zone soil moisture for studying its seasonal and inter-annual variability and relationship to carbon fluxes.
The ATTREX campaign collected in-situ meteorological and navigational data onboard a NASA Global Hawk Uninhabited Aerial System during deployments in 2011, 2013, and 2014. The data were gathered by the Meteorological Measurement System over California and Guam to address uncertainties in stratospheric humidity and ozone composition. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
In-situ radiation measurements were collected onboard the NASA Global Hawk Uninhabited Aerial System during the Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) campaigns. The data includes properties measured by the Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer during deployments over California in 2011 and 2013, and over Guam in 2014. The collection was produced by NASA to address uncertainties in stratospheric humidity and ozone predictions.
2378 infrared channels capture calibrated radiances in the 3.74 to 15.4 micron spectrum from the AIRS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. This Near Real Time product meets a three-hour latency requirement for rapid monitoring, with data organized into 6-minute granules covering 90 by 135 footprints. It is part of an innovative sensor group that includes microwave and visible instruments for comprehensive atmospheric profiling.
Sentinel-3B satellite data provides global and regional top-of-atmosphere radiances and brightness temperatures from the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). This Level 1B product contains full-resolution, geolocated measurements from visible, NIR, SWIR, and thermal infrared channels, along with quality flags, pixel classifications, and meteorological annotations. Its principal objective is to deliver sea and land surface temperatures with an accuracy better than 0.3 Kelvin for climatological and meteorological applications.
Hourly air and ground temperature measurements from shallow boreholes and frost tubes installed near schools in six Yukon communities starting in 2007. The Government of Yukon program engages students in data collection and provides baseline data for characterizing local permafrost conditions. A snapshot of conditions is available for each station based on the first year of data.
Gross primary productivity (GPP) observations from 104 FLUXNET and ChinaFLUX sites, encompassing 862 site-years across the Northern Hemisphere. The dataset includes derived metrics for the carbon uptake period (CUP) start, end, and duration, analyzed from 1995 to 2014. It was authored by Zhaogang Liu and last updated on figshare in April 2026.
AMSR-E L2 rainfall data provides instantaneous rain rate and type measurements from 18 June 2002 to October 2011. This subset selects data within a 100 km swath across the CloudSat track, resulting in a 45-pixel cross-track product. It uses the Goddard Space Flight Center Profiling algorithm over ocean and a modified version over land, stored in HDF-EOS format.
Soumya Paramanik's research dataset investigates the impact of climate change on flood susceptibility using four deep learning models. The dataset likely contains model outputs and variable importance analyses for flood risk under three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP 245, SSP 370, SSP 585) for the year 2100. It was last updated on April 24, 2026.
Australian coastal waters are monitored by daily, full-resolution (approximately 300m pixel) satellite-derived water quality data. The dataset contains Level 2P products for chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and total suspended solids (TSS), processed by CSIRO using the FUB-CSIRO Coastal Water Processor. It was last updated on 2026-04-28 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
An educational dataset from Geoscience Australia demonstrates sonar techniques for mapping the seafloor. It includes data for processing and plotting to discover features like submarine canyons, seamounts, and shipwrecks. The resource was last updated on 2026-05-14.
A 22.0 MB dataset of Canadian Hansard parliamentary debates, used to analyze political narratives on environmental issues via the Narrative Policy Framework. The dataset was created by Alexandre Millette and last updated on April 20, 2026. It is stored in R and RDS file formats and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Over 72 million water quality observations derived from more than 5 million samples collected across England since the year 2000. The Environment Agency's dataset covers rivers, lakes, canals, groundwater, and coastal waters, including physical parameters, nutrients, metals, and contaminants. Data is processed and verified with a short delay before being added to the archive.
