The Geomorphology of the Lord Howe Island Shelf and Submarine Volcano SS06-2008 Post-survey Report details a 2008 marine survey conducted by the University of Wollongong and Geoscience Australia aboard the RV Southern Surveyor. The survey aimed to map the morphology and benthic environments of the shelf and the flanks of the submarine volcano to support marine park management and understand reef growth history. Data and samples were collected to analyze seabed habitats, infauna distribution, and erosional processes on the volcano.
Data from the 1940s to 2019 underpins this series of gravity grids covering Australia and offshore regions. The grids combine over 1.4 million ground observations from the Australian National Gravity Database with airborne surveys and a global offshore model, achieving a 400-meter cell size. This 2019 release includes updated versions of specific grids to correct artefacts found in earlier iterations.
Ashmore Reef, a tropical marine reserve on Australia's North-west Shelf, has had its regional, lagoonal, and well water qualities observed since 1991. The dataset includes sea surface temperatures ranging from 25.48°C to 30.2°C, salinity from 34.51 to 34.75, and details on a freshwater lens yielding up to 150,000 liters per year. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network in The Beagle journal.
Great Barrier Reef marine waters contain simulated dispersal data for the pesticide diuron from January 2016 to July 2018. The dataset was generated using a 1 km resolution eReefs hydrodynamic model forced by wind, tides, and other fluxes, and a transport model that disperses diuron from 16 river inputs. The model, developed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, incorporates a determined diuron half-life of 40 days and compares simulated distributions with observations at 11 monitoring sites.
Project 12.4 of the NERP TE program focused on governance systems for climate adaptation in the Wet Tropics from 2011 to 2013. The project, associated with James Cook University, produced practical manuals for Natural Resource Management bodies and defined partnership arrangements for institutional reform. Outputs include PNG and HTML files hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network on data.gov.au.
Geoscience Australia generated a series of gravity and magnetic grids covering three regions of Northern Australia: the North-West Shield of Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland. The data integrates satellite-derived Free-air gravity and Topography data from Scripps Institution of Oceanography with onshore ground, airborne, and shipborne survey data. Processing and enhancement were performed using Geosoft Oasis montaj software to create stitched Bouguer gravity and Total Magnetic Intensity grids.
Project 3.3.1 of the NESP Tropical Water Quality Hub examines the impact of water quality on coral bleaching resilience. The dataset likely contains experimental and field data from SeaSim and the 2016 bleaching event, used to refine the eReefs model. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in July 2026.
SO298 Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) Incubation data from 19 ship-based experiments conducted in the Equatorial Pacific. The experiments simulated moderate alkalinity enhancements using three OAE sources and monitored impacts on natural phytoplankton populations. The dataset includes parameters such as chlorophyll-a, nutrients, trace elements, total alkalinity, Fv/Fm, pH, and flow cytometry.
Scottish Government SpatialData.gov.scot provides polygon data for Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) designated by Local Authorities in Scotland. AQMAs are declared where air quality objectives for pollutants like NO2, SO2, and PM10 are not being met, and the data may include the date of declaration. The dataset was last updated on 2026-07-16.
27 wetlandscapes around the world are described in the WetCID database. It combines local survey information with geographic shapefiles and 30-year time series of monthly precipitation, temperature, and annual land-use data. The database was created by Navid Ghajarnia of Stockholm University and is available through PANGAEA.
1979-2018 model values from three simulations of natural tritium implemented in the isotope-enabled atmospheric general circulation model MIROC5-iso. The dataset, produced by Alexandre Cauquoin of The University of Tokyo, includes monthly and mean tritium concentrations in precipitation and water vapor, as well as precipitation rates and specific humidity. A complete description is available in the associated 2024 Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres paper.
Southern Arizona and New Mexico provide the location for this daily-scale ecohydrological dataset from the Santa Rita and Jornada Experimental Ranges. It contains variables including precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, soil moisture, heat fluxes, and carbon exchange metrics. The dataset was authored by Enrique R. Vivoni of Arizona State University and published in 2021.
Himawari-8 satellite sea surface temperature data used to map the East Australian Current's spatial structure and temporal evolution. The dataset covers the period from July 2015 to September 2017. The research was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans in 2020.
A global daily Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) dataset at 0.25-degree spatial resolution from 1982 to 2021. The dataset, created by Xuebang Liu of Peking University and published in 2024, provides five time scales of drought severity calculated from ERA5 precipitation and Singer's potential evapotranspiration data.
Northeastern U.S. extratropical cyclone activity and associated large-scale meteorological patterns from 1980 to 2019. The data includes composites of 500-hPa geopotential height and cyclone tracking outputs from five reanalysis products and CMIP6 historical experiments. It was created by Michelle Gore of Pennsylvania State University to evaluate climate model skill.
Greenland and Antarctica glacier model output from the Glacier Energy and Mass Balance model version 1.0. The data includes firn air content and surface mass balance, forced with 3-hourly ERA5 fields from 1979 to June 2022 and gridded to 10km resolution. It was produced by Nicole‐Jeanne Schlegel at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and integrated into the open-source Ice-Sheet and Sea-level System Model.
J. K. Willis provides a time series estimating the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) volume and heat transports near 41°N. The dataset is derived from observations by the Argo array of profiling floats and satellite altimetry, processed using techniques from Willis (2010) and Hobbs and Willis (2012). It includes 3-monthly averaged estimates of Ekman, geostrophic, and overturning volume transports, as well as meridional heat transport.
Florentin M. J. Bulot and colleagues from the University of Southampton provide sensor data used for analyzing and calibrating low-cost particulate matter sensors against a reference-grade instrument.

Anderson of the University of Lausanne and includes mean, minimum, and maximum thickness estimates in centimeters, along with location data in decimal degrees and some elevation data in meters.
Surface wave velocity maps of the Australian continental crust derived from 40 years of passive seismic records. The model, constructed from surface wave velocity maps at periods from 2 to 60 seconds, resolves major sedimentary basins and was validated against deep-crustal active seismic profiles and borehole data. The data was presented at the 2025 IAGA/IASPEI Joint Scientific Meeting and is associated with Geoscience Australia Data.
