Geoscience Australia conducted a marine seismic survey (GA-0352) in the Gippsland Basin from April 5 to 24, 2015. The survey collected industry-standard precompetitive 2D seismic, multi-beam echo-sounder, and sub-bottom profiling data to assess the basin's CO2 storage potential. The data is available for free download from the Geoscience Australia website.
Supplementary files for a study on the non-linear response of river deltas to changes in extreme flood frequency. The data, created by Octria Prasojo, includes PDF and MP4 files totaling 162.6 MB and was last updated on 2026-05-27. The research uses the pyDeltaRCM numerical model to simulate delta morphology under varying flood intermittencies.
The Lord Howe Rise in the southwest Pacific is a submerged continental ribbon. A proposal from Geoscience Australia and JAMSTEC outlines plans for deep riser drilling to core Cretaceous and older sediments up to 2500 meters below the seafloor, aiming to understand tectonic cycles and paleoclimate. Preparations included seismic surveys in 2016 and 2017 to map crustal structure and characterize drill sites.
Six accretional beach-ridge units in Keppel Bay, central Queensland, Australia, preserve a sediment record from the historical period back to the middle Holocene. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages indicate periods of rapid progradation approximately 1500, 1000, 450, and 230 years before present. The dataset, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, provides insights into sediment accumulation linked to Fitzroy River floods and catchment land-use changes.
Australian Ocean Data Network reports the discovery of three submerged, living patch coral reefs covering 80 km² in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia. The reefs were identified using multibeam swath sonar, seabed sampling, and underwater video, with their upper surfaces at a mean depth of 28.6±0.5 meters. Their existence suggests a past phase of reef growth under different climate conditions and may represent a future refuge for corals.
High-precision measurements indicated denitrification rates of ~1.3 mmol N2 m-2 day-1 across major sedimentary facies. The dataset, from the Australian Ocean Data Network, shows denitrifying efficiencies of 75-85% in muddy sediments covering about 70% of the seafloor. It includes integrated fluxes of biogenic N2, ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite, revealing tight coupling of ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification.
A study area spanning 112°E to 122°E off the Sabrina Coast describes submarine canyons and ridges formed by sediment accretion and mass movement. The dataset likely contains geomorphological features indicating erosion, deposition, and sediment transport processes linked to the Totten Glacier and Moscow University Ice Shelf. It was published in Marine Geology in 2020 and hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Preliminary seabed mapping results from the RV Polarstern expedition PS141 (EASI-3) in 2024. The dataset reveals submerged glacial features on the East Antarctic continental shelf, including iceberg scours and grounding zone wedges. It was prepared by the Australian Ocean Data Network for the Australian Antarctic Research Conference in November 2024.
An inventory of descriptive attributes for spatial groundwater features in Australia's Arafura Basin, grouped into themes like hydrogeology, land use, and demographics. The basin's sedimentary record spans over 250 million years, from the late Neoproterozoic to the early Permian. Compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network, this dataset provides a structured overview of the basin's groundwater systems.
High-resolution bathymetry data models landscape change during the flooding of the Bass Strait land-bridge after the Last Ice Age. The analysis finds shoreline transgression rates exceeding 30 meters per year, which would have drowned 15 km of land within a human lifetime. This dataset provides a benchmark for understanding land-bridge flooding and its impact on human migrations in southeastern Australia.
Six groundwater-related risk factors—acid sulphate soils, contaminated sites, groundwater works, water features, groundwater dependent ecosystems, and groundwater systems—are combined into an overall risk layer for building developments. This dataset supports the Housing Approvals Reform Action Plan in meeting housing targets across the Greater Metropolitan Region of New South Wales, Australia. It was created by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and is accompanied by a detailed method report.
MODIS/Aqua MYD09A1 V006 provides atmospherically corrected surface spectral reflectance for seven 500-meter spectral bands, composited over 8-day periods. This NASA product is derived from the Aqua satellite's MODIS instrument, selecting the best pixel per period based on cloud cover and solar zenith angle. The dataset has been decommissioned, with users directed to the updated Version 6.1.
Global MODIS/Terra Surface Reflectance 8-Day L3 Global 500m SIN Grid V006 data provides atmospherically corrected surface spectral reflectance for seven 500m bands. The dataset is an 8-day composite product where pixel selection criteria include cloud cover and solar zenith angle. This version 6 product was decommissioned in July 2023 by NASA, with users directed to the updated Version 6.1.
Geoscience Australia's 2014 release includes marine seismic survey navigation files updated with recent openfile surveys. The collection is based on cleansed P190 navigation files following the UKOOA standard and includes surveys categorized into 3D exploration, 2D exploration, and 2D investigative types. All marine surveys undertaken by Geoscience Australia for exploration or investigative purposes are included.
NASA's MODIS/Aqua MYD08_D3 product provides daily 1-degree gridded global averages for atmospheric parameters including aerosol properties, total ozone, water vapor, and cloud characteristics. It contains roughly 600 statistical datasets derived from approximately 80 scientific parameters, computed over a 24-hour GMT interval on a consistent 360x180 pixel grid. This dataset supports the study of Earth's energy budget, climate interactions, and seasonal changes in global cloud cover.
NASA's MODIS/Aqua MYD08_E3 product provides 8-day, 1-degree gridded global averages for nearly 1000 atmospheric parameters. The dataset includes aerosol particle properties, total ozone burden, atmospheric water vapor, cloud optical and physical properties, and atmospheric stability indices.
