A 2006-2016 study by the Australian Ocean Data Network used three field-based methods to assess the potential impacts of marine seismic surveys on scallops in the Bass Strait. The research combined dredging and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) imagery of scallop beds before and after a 2015 survey with MODIS satellite-derived sea surface temperature data. Results showed no direct scallop mortality from the 2015 survey but linked a 2010 mortality event to a coinciding thermal spike.
A paper demonstrates improved agreement between climate models and observational temperature records by correcting for a systematic comparison error. The research team, including authors Kevin Cowtan and Ed Hawkins, published their findings and made associated data and code available. The dataset likely contains processed temperature data from models and observations used for this comparative analysis.
January 1984 Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected during the Sprightly cruise SP 01/84 for the Australian Coastal Experiment (ACE) Project. The processed dataset is archived by the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre and covers 14 stations in NSW coastal waters between 20 meters and 15 kilometers offshore. Additional details are contained in the voyage's cruise report.
Coastal flood hazard maps for the United Kingdom model three distinct probability scenarios. The data likely contains flood extents and depths for high (10-year), medium (200-year), and low (1000-year) return periods, plus a 200-year event incorporating UKCP09 high-emissions climate projections for the 2080s. These maps were produced by the Government Digital Service for consistency with Scottish Planning Policy.
Scottish surface water flood hazard maps show flood extent, depth, and velocity for three probability scenarios. The data includes a high-probability event reflective of recent decades, a medium-probability 200-year return period, and a low-probability scenario incorporating UKCP09 high emissions climate projections for the 2080s. The maps were produced by the Government Digital Service.
Processed hydrology data from the TROPICS97 cruise 1, collected during the Franklin voyage FR 04/97 in the Coral Sea, Gulf of Papua, Solomon and Bismarck Seas. The dataset, archived by the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Data Centre, includes measurements from water samples taken at various depths during CTD casts. Parameters likely comprise temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, silicate, and nitrite.
Three coastal flood probability maps for the United Kingdom, covering high (10-year), medium (200-year), and low (1000-year) return periods. The low probability scenario also includes a climate change projection using the UKCP09 high emissions scenario for the 2080s. The dataset, provided by the Government Digital Service, shows flood extent and depth where available.
The Irish Sea between Ireland, the Isle of Man, and north Wales was surveyed as part of the UK's Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA6. The dataset includes processed multibeam and sidescan sonar files, raw seismic data, and cruise reports collected from the SV Meridian vessel.
United Kingdom surface water flood hazard maps from the Government Digital Service. The data includes flood extent, depth, and velocity for three probability scenarios: a high probability 10-year return period, a medium probability 200-year return period, and a low probability 200-year return period combined with a UKCP09 high emissions climate change scenario for the 2080s.
Coastal flood hazard maps showing flood extent and depth for three probability levels. The data includes a high-probability 10-year return period, a medium-probability 200-year return period, and a low-probability 1000-year return period plus a 200-year climate change scenario for the 2080s. The maps were produced by the Government Digital Service using the UK Climate Projections 2009 (UKCP09) high emissions scenario.
River flood hazard maps for the United Kingdom showing flood extent, depth, and velocity where available. The data includes three probability scenarios: a high-probability 10-year return period, a medium-probability 200-year return period, and a low-probability 1000-year return period plus a 200-year return period with a UKCP09 high emissions climate change scenario for the 2080s. The dataset was produced by the Government Digital Service.
Coastal flood hazard maps for the United Kingdom show flood extent and depth for three probability scenarios. The data includes a climate change projection for the 2080s based on the UKCP09 high emissions scenario. These maps were produced by the Government Digital Service for consistency with Scottish Planning Policy.
A marine reflection seismic survey covering 1505 line miles was conducted in the Gulf of Papua between January and April 1966. Western Geophysical Company of America performed the work for a consortium of oil companies including Phillips Australian Oil Company. The objective was to obtain detailed structural information to determine drilling sites and extend reconnaissance in the area.
Since 1990, the EPA's Clean Air and Power Division has collected power plant emission data, which forms the primary source for this suite. The Power Sector Data and Tools (PSDaT) organizes this information into five components covering emissions, summaries, allowances, environmental monitoring, and modeling. As of 2018, data from approximately 96% of U.S. fossil fuel power plants is represented.
A geological study compares the Skukum Volcanic Complex and the Bennett Lake Cauldron Complex in southern Yukon. The research, initiated in 1982, analyzes structural settings, rock suites, and depositional environments to inform mineral exploration. It details three key differences between the two volcanic complexes.
UK surface water flood hazard maps showing flood extent, depth, and velocity for three probability scenarios. The data includes a high-probability 10-year return period, a medium 200-year return period, and a low probability incorporating UKCP09 high emissions climate projections for the 2080s. The dataset was produced by the Government Digital Service, aligning with Scottish Planning Policy return periods.
1999 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1 data from a seabed survey conducted by the Southampton Oceanography Centre for the UK Department of Trade and Industry. The survey includes regional side-scan sonar mapping and targeted seafloor investigations in the Wyville-Thomson Ridge and Faroe-Shetland Channel. Raw data and a preliminary report with environmental interpretation are available.
A 2003 report from the UK Department of Trade and Industry (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) for the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA7). It details the occurrence, distribution, classification, and seismic structure of carbonate mounds west of Ireland and the UK. The report synthesizes findings from EU research projects and includes a bibliography, location map, and regional metadata.
From 2015 to 2017, microbial water quality results were collected from 101 locations in Kwale County, Kenya by the University of Oxford and Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya as part of the Gro for GooD project. The dataset contains measurements for Escherichia coli, thermotolerant coliforms, tryptophan-like fluorescence, and accompanying physicochemical parameters like pH and turbidity. It includes duplicate and replicate samples, with risk classifications based on WHO guidelines.
November 2015 water quality data from industrial effluents sampled during a special program. The Industrial Discharge Control Division planned and carried out the program as part of work requiring the closure of the Southeast Interceptor. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
