Quebec's Ministry of the Environment provides drainage area boundaries for watercourse monitoring stations and lake catchments. The data is generated using GIS from topographic maps, elevation models, and flow models to characterize upstream land use. Linked tables include land use compilations according to three classifications.
Late Palaeozoic glaciation in Western Australia is documented by grooved surfaces in Grant Group rocks. The orientation of grooves and sedimentary structures indicate ice motion from the south-southeast, while pebble composition suggests the ice sheet originated in the Pilbara Block and extended 400 km into the Canning Basin. This dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, confirms the existence of large continental ice sheets during that period.
Over 1,000 measurements of ocean temperature, salinity, and wave characteristics were collected during the summer 2014 field campaign in the Beaufort Sea. This dataset was created by the U.S. Office of Naval Research's Marginal Ice Zone Departmental Research Initiative to study atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions during seasonal ice retreat. The data is hosted by the National Snow and Ice Data Center and is also available on Data.gov.
Tresco in northwest Victoria, at the southern margin of the Murray Basin, is the focus of this dataset. Core samples and groundwater from bores were analyzed for palynology and chemistry. The data likely documents the chemical evolution of an aquifer from fresh water to saline, influenced by brine pulses from surface playa lakes between 400,000 and 18,000 years B.P.
High-resolution aeromagnetic and seismic reflection data reveal the architecture of an ocean-continent transform boundary off western Tasmania. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this dataset, which maps reactivated basement structures like the Avoca-Sorell fault system. This data permits detailed mapping of steeply dipping structures and deep sedimentary basins analogous to prospective regions off West Africa.
Geoscience Australia delivered a report on 3D gravity models for the Capel and Faust Basins on the Lord Howe Rise. The models were derived from a seismic and potential field survey conducted in the summer of 2006/07, interpreting over 6000 meters of sediment in the deepest depocentres. The report details the tools and process for integrating 3D gravity modeling with traditional seismic interpretation workflows.
The 'Geera Clay equivalent' dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes sandy clays deposited during the Oligocene-Middle Miocene transgression in the Murray Basin. The data includes information on marine dinoflagellates and pollen species, including one newly described species, Tetrapollis campbellbrownii. It was last updated on 2026-05-04.
Geospatial contours show the depth to the seawater interface in meters below groundwater level for the Esperance area's Superficial Aquifer. The dataset is derived from an assessment of monitoring data collected from November 2020 to November 2021, incorporating 2016 airborne electromagnetic survey interpretations. It is part of the Statewide Seawater Interface Project funded by the Government of Western Australia.
GeoTIFF bathymetry data from the WEST10MV survey conducted by Oregon State University onboard the RV Melville from January 29 to March 12, 1995. The dataset contains processed sonar data with 8-210 meter resolution, covering a transit from Fremantle to Hobart via the Southeast Indian Ridge. Original scientists are David Christie and the Marine Geoscience Data System.
Geoscience Australia evaluated the Gage Sandstone and South Perth Shale for long-term CO2 storage as part of the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan. The assessment used seismic data to identify widespread fault reactivation and potential hydrocarbon seepage anomalies. The study highlights spatial variability in seal quality and fault reactivation history for both petroleum exploration and CO2 storage.
WEI ZHAO's dataset, published on figshare in April 2026, contains data for mitigating systematic biases in cloud base height estimates over the Tibetan Plateau. It includes ground-based lidar and CALIPSO satellite-derived cloud base heights, along with ERA5 reanalysis meteorological variables from October 2021 to December 2024. The 5.9 MB dataset is provided in CSV and NC formats.
Geographic contours show the elevation of the seawater interface within the Superficial aquifer in the Cockburn groundwater area. The dataset is derived from an assessment of data from 2018 to 2019, documented in Hydrogeological Report HR443. It is sourced from the Statewide seawater interface project funded by the Government of Western Australia.
Southern Study Area of the BOREAS region contains data on foliar starch concentrations from mature Jack Pine and Black Spruce sites, collected by the TGB-08 team from May to September 1994. A related oxidant dataset from the TGB-10 team includes peroxide and ozone measurements at the Old Jack Pine site during the same summer. These datasets originate from NASA's BOREAS program investigating biogenic hydrocarbon emissions and carbon cycles.
NASA's Dynamics and Chemistry of the Summer Stratosphere (DCOTSS) field campaign collected airborne data via instrumentation onboard the ER-2 aircraft. The campaign conducted two approximately 8-week science deployments based in Salina, KS, targeting the North American Monsoon Anticyclone region. Data collection is ongoing, with the current product featuring only the first deployment.
Groundwater Resources are administrative units for managing extraction limits in Western Australia. The dataset defines these units, which are typically intersections of groundwater Subareas and Aquifer boundaries. Data is maintained by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and was last updated in March 2026.
Hourly ECMWF operational model data spans two periods: 13-May-1994 to 30-Sept-1994 and 01-Mar-1996 to 31-Mar-1997. The data covers vertical profiles from below soil to the top of the atmosphere for sites in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, including surface fluxes. This dataset supports modeling of the diurnal evolution of the convective boundary layer over boreal forests.
Airborne tracking sunphotometer data were collected from a C-130 aircraft to characterize atmospheric aerosol properties during the BOREAS campaign. The dataset covers selected days and times from May to September 1994. Measurements were made by the BOREAS RSS-12 team to quantify aerosol optical depth, determine boreal aerosol properties, and support atmospheric correction of remote sensing data.
A bathymetry dataset acquired by Bishop Museum, Hawaii and the University of California San Diego onboard the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Research Vessel Melville from February 22 to April 13, 1996. The survey used the Seabeam 2000 sonar system while transiting from Fremantle to Port Hedland. The dataset contains 128m-210m resolution, 32-bit geotiffs processed using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software.
A spatial dataset from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation delineates areas suitable or unsuitable for new garden bores in the Perth region. It was updated in response to the 2010-11 dry season, integrating factors like salinity levels, proximity to wetlands, and soil characteristics. The data is recommended for display at scales of 1:10,000 or larger.
Alaska is covered by this georeferenced digital map showing the correlation between physiographic province and permafrost presence at a 1:2,500,000 scale. The dataset was derived from a 1965 USGS map, hand-digitized and edited in ARC/INFO, with metadata finalized in 1996. It provides polygon-based classifications for mountainous, lowland, and upland areas underlain by continuous, discontinuous, or isolated permafrost.
