A 2018 study by Geoscience Australia used three field-based methods to assess potential impacts of marine seismic surveys on scallops in the Bass Strait. Dredging and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle imagery for two scallop species were collected before, two months after, and ten months after a 2015 survey. MODIS satellite data provided sea surface temperature patterns from 2006 to 2016, revealing a thermal spike coinciding with a 2010 mass mortality event.
Global observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite provide a curated daily subset for instrument calibration. This dataset includes selected clear cases, special calibration sites, random nadir spots, and high clouds, extracted from over 500 MB of daily Level-1B/C spectral data. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the evaluation of instrument performance, calibration stability, and climate-relevant trends.
Swiss rock glaciers at Gruben, Muragl, and Murtel are monitored for their kinematics, which define creeping mountain permafrost. The dataset provides area-wide flow fields derived from high-resolution digital terrain models created using aerial photogrammetry. It is produced by NASA and serves as a tool for detecting climate signals through permafrost behavior.
The RAMP AMM-1 SAR Image Mosaic of Antarctica, Version 2 is a calibrated radar backscatter dataset produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It provides a detailed view of ice sheet morphology, rock outcrops, research infrastructure, and the Antarctic coastline. The mosaic offers insight into climate processes affecting the upper layers of snow cover.
Remote Sensing Systems' SMAP-SSS Level 2C NRT V5.0 dataset provides validated, near-real-time orbital swath data for global sea surface salinity. Derived from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite launched on January 31, 2015, the dataset includes salinity, uncertainty, brightness temperature, wind speed, and ancillary data on a 0.25-degree fixed Earth grid. Data from July 28, 2022, to the present is available with approximately 6-hour latency and a spatial resolution of about 70 km.
Hydrology data from the RV Investigator voyage IN2025_E01, collected between February 19 and March 1, 2025, during sea trials and calibrations. The dataset contains quality-controlled measurements of salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, silicate, nitrate plus nitrite, and ammonium from water samples taken at various depths using Niskin bottles on CTD deployments. It is archived by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre in Hobart.
High Speed 2 Limited provides monthly environmental monitoring data for the HS2 Phase One railway construction project. The data is released under the OGL-UK-3.0 license and was last updated in May 2026. It is intended to be reviewed alongside official monthly air quality and noise reports published by the UK government.
SMEX04 Soil Moisture Network Data: Sonora, Version 1 combines in situ measurements for several parameters from the Soil Moisture Experiment 2004 in Sonora, Mexico. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its principal investigators. Data collection concluded in August 2004, though metadata records show a later administrative update.
Legacy product from the Australian Ocean Data Network documenting submarine volcanic activity. The data likely contains observations from a specific event in the St. Andrew Strait during October-November 1954. No abstract or detailed metadata is available for this historical record.
Northern Beaches Council's 2026 report updates flood behaviour for the Narrabeen Lagoon catchment, incorporating potential climate change impacts. The study defines flood levels, depths, velocities, and hazard categories for design events ranging from the Probable Maximum Flood to 50% Annual Exceedance Probability. It provides a holistic assessment by considering land use changes, lagoon entrance influence, and community consultation data.
Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling (SOCCOM) project data samples the Southern Ocean to assess its influence on global climate. The dataset is produced by a National Science Foundation project and managed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. One platform lists a last update date of March 2026.
Terra MODIS Level-2 SST4 data provides sea surface temperature retrieved from mid-wave infrared bands near 4 µm. This near real-time product from NASA's Ocean Biology DAAC is typically used at night to avoid solar contamination and offers reduced sensitivity to atmospheric water vapor compared to longer-wavelength measurements. The dataset includes core variables like temperature, bias, quality flags, and standard deviation.
MB2LMT_2 is the MISR Level 1B2 Local Mode Terrain Radiance Data Version 2 product from NASA. It contains terrain-projected Top-of-Atmosphere radiance for a single local mode scene, resampled at the surface and topographically corrected. The MISR instrument views Earth with 9 cameras pointed in different directions, capturing each surface point in 4 wavelengths (blue, green, red, and near-infrared).
130.7 KB of pollen sequence data in an XLSX file, comparing periods before and after two volcanic eruptions in northeastern China and including sequences from human disturbance. The dataset was authored by Yong Luo and last updated on May 31, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
Geoscience Australia data provides a geological reassessment of the northern Houtman Sub-basin using seismic reflection data acquired in 2014–15. The study includes mapping of the Moho, basement, and major depositional sequences, along with a 3D geological model covering the survey area. It interprets up to 16 km of Permian–Cretaceous sediment succession to reduce exploration risk in this frontier region.
The Capel and Faust basins, located 800 km east of Brisbane, are the subject of new geophysical and geological datasets. Geoscience Australia acquired approximately 6000 km of 2D seismic data in 2006-2007, and a 2007 marine survey collected gravity, magnetics, multibeam sonar, and sub-bottom profiler data alongside seafloor samples. These datasets are designed to assess petroleum prospectivity and inform marine environmental planning.
Three discrete depositional systems with sandstone bodies up to 70 meters thick are distinguished by their facies associations and palaeocurrent data. Geoscience Australia Data published this analysis of the Lower Cretaceous Eumeralla Formation, characterizing high-energy fluvial flows in broad channel tracts. The data supports a model of volcaniclastic sediment dispersal within the Aptian-Albian Otway rift basin.
A 5030 km² geological survey of the southern Lachlan Fold Belt in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The dataset, provided by Geoscience Australia, details a complex geological history from the mid-Ordovician through the Quaternary, including sedimentation, volcanism, and deformation events. It was last updated on 2026-04-30.
Queensland, Australia, hosts a 1960 seismic velocity survey of the Associated Australian Oilfields Pickanjinnie No. 1 borehole. The Bureau of Mineral Resources surveyed the 5,218-foot-deep bore, which produced over 5 million cubic feet of petroliferous gas per day from Mesozoic and Permian strata. The dataset likely contains velocity measurements correlated with geological formations.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a dataset of geological samples dredged from the northern Exmouth Plateau margin. The data includes detailed petrography and microfacies analysis, defining seven major lithofacies associations from the Late Triassic to the Cainozoic. Samples were collected by research vessels R. V. Sonne and R. V. Rig Seismic in water depths between 2000 and 5600 meters.
