A 1986 paper published in a scientific journal discusses the nature of activity attributed to the Cook submarine volcano. The discussion, sourced from Geoscience Australia Data, centers on whether past activity was volcanic or the result of hydrothermal blowouts from a sea floor vent approximately 1300 meters below sea level. The document was last updated on 2026-05-14.
Carbon Geochemistry of Cold Seeps dataset contains pore-water and solid-phase measurements from sediments at the Kazan Mud Volcano in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this research data, which models methane concentrations, anaerobic oxidation rates, and gas hydrate formation potential. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.
A 29.0 KB dataset developed by Abul Bashar to estimate the carbon footprint of prawn production in Bangladesh. It demonstrates how system-level changes can reduce the climate burden of aquatic food production. The dataset was last updated on May 7, 2026.
The Gippsland Marine Environmental Monitoring project provides data on the effects of marine seismic surveys on cetaceans, fish, and invertebrates. The dataset likely contains field observations, sound monitoring, and environmental baseline measurements collected for interdisciplinary research. It was published in 2018 by Rachel Przeslawski et al. and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
The Houtman Sub-basin geophysical modelling study is an integrated geological and geophysical interpretation of the GA-349 seismic survey conducted in 2014/15. Australian Ocean Data Network provides this study, which integrates about 26,000 km of gravity and magnetic data from surveys GA-310 and GA-2476. The study aims to improve understanding of crustal architecture, sediment thickness, and magmatic rock distribution in the northern Perth Basin.
Australia's remote eastern offshore frontier, 800 km east of Brisbane, is covered by geophysical data from the Capel and Faust Basins. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides integrated interpretation of 2D seismic reflection, sonobuoy refraction, and marine potential-field data collected under the Energy Security Initiative. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-16.
A synthesis of the hydrological impacts of China's Grain for Green Program, a major soil conservation policy, in a large erosion-prone dryland area. The work by Lulu Zhang from the Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources applies a combination of bottom-up and top-down approaches to review on-site and off-site water effects. It provides lessons-learned for global greening efforts in degraded arid environments.
Geoscience Australia's 2008-09 seismic survey provides new insights into the post-rift depositional history of the Mentelle Basin. The dataset likely contains seismic facies mapping results, identifying fourteen distinct facies based on reflection characteristics. The study uses stratigraphic wells DSDP 258 and DSDP 264 for age constraints and compares sequences to the south Perth Basin.
Geochemical analysis of rock samples from a 275 km transect along the Prydz Bay coastline in Antarctica provides heat production values. The data, published by researchers from Geoscience Australia and other institutions, ranges from 0.02 µW per cubic metre to almost 66 µW per cubic metre for different rock types. This information is intended to improve ice sheet models by accounting for sub-glacial geothermal heat variability.
The NASA Cloud and Aerosol Research (CAR) project includes airborne measurements from multiple field campaigns. Data from the CAR instrument includes bidirectional reflectance factor values at varying spectral bands. Campaigns described include ARCTAS (2008), ARMCAS (1995), CLAMS (2001), and CLASIC, focusing on Arctic atmospheric composition, pollution transport, and aerosol radiative forcing.
Annual gridded estimates of fire locations, burned area, carbon combustion, and burn depth for Alaska and Canada from 2001 to 2019 at 500-meter resolution. The data were produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration using MODIS and Landsat satellite imagery combined with field observations. It includes quality flags and is designed for studies of disturbance, fire ecology, and carbon cycling in boreal ecosystems.
Eight water quality parameters, including ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus, are provided monthly for rivers in China from 2000 to 2023. The 4.6 GB dataset was simulated using random forest models that incorporate climate, soil, and anthropogenic factors. It was authored by Yunjie Zhang and last updated in May 2026.
2016 measurements of soil moisture, soil temperature, and precipitation from a permanent sensor network deployed for the SMAPVEX16-Iowa experiment. The network covered an approximately 30km by 40km domain located about 30 km north of Ames, Iowa, USA. This dataset supports the validation of satellite soil moisture products and related land surface studies.
Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) units for the Australian Capital Territory differentiate areas with similar salt stores and pathways. The dataset contains hazard ratings for land salinity, stream salt load, and stream EC, mapped at a 1:25,000 scale. It was developed by NSW OEH, NSW DPI, and UC contributors for ACT land management.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological reconnaissance report on Manus Island. The report describes nodular bauxite deposits observed in three separate localities, likely derived from volcanic rocks, and includes results from analyses of individual nodules. The report was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Laboratory experiments from Geoscience Australia examine the effects of temperature, salinity, and food availability on the burrowing activity of the polychaete Capitella sp. 1. The dataset includes measurements of burrowing depth and area, and uses pH and O2 fluorosensors to investigate associated changes in marine sediment chemistry. The results show how environmental changes affect infaunal behavior and sediment-water exchange.
The Hawkesbury River catchment in Australia is the focus of this dataset. It contains analysis results from 140 sediment samples for texture, heavy metals, organochlorine pesticides, and nutrients. The data was published by Geoscience Australia and last updated in April 2026.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a geological bulletin describing the mid-Proterozoic sedimentary rocks of the southern McArthur Basin in the Northern Territory. The description details four stratigraphic groups with reported thicknesses up to 5500 meters and includes structural analysis of the Batten Fault Zone. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-20.
Geoscience Australia Data provides evidence on horizontal compressive stress within the Australian continent. The dataset includes focal mechanisms from eight earthquakes since 1967 and in-situ stress measurements from mines, tunnels, and quarry floors across multiple states. Measurements from a 200 km north-south traverse and sites in New South Wales during 1978-1979 indicate principal stress orientations and magnitudes up to 23 MPa.
Geoscience Australia modelled five natural hazards for the Rockhampton Regional Council area under current and future climate conditions. The project produced spatial datasets, hazard maps, and a technical report, funded by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Grants Program. Outputs include data on tropical cyclone wind, bushfire, storm tide, coastal erosion, and sea-level rise.
