11 tuff and 18 sedimentary core samples from the Bowen Basin were analyzed to date Permian plant microfossil zones using CA-IDTIMS dating. The study, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, found the Dulhuntyispora parvithola zone spans around five million years, nearly reaching the Permian-Triassic boundary. Results attach numeric ages to palynostratigraphic units, aiding regional and global correlation of coal-bearing sequences.
A prototype atmospheric monitoring station named 'Arcturus' was commissioned in central Queensland in July 2010 by Geoscience Australia and CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Research. The station measures concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and the isotopic signature of CO2, alongside meteorological parameters like wind speed and direction. Data is intended to model contributions of natural and anthropogenic sources to local greenhouse gas variability.
A 1961 reconnaissance marine reflection seismic survey conducted by Seismograph Service Limited for West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited. The survey covered 753 miles of traverse in Exmouth Gulf and coastal waters from Frazer Island to Bernier Island, Western Australia, from July 15 to August 20, 1961. Data was recorded on magnetic tapes and processed into variable-area record sections to map regional geology and fault structures.
A recent drilling program in southeast South Australia provides new insight into the late Cainozoic sequence. The data suggests at least 20 major high sea-level stands over the past 690,000 years, resulting in a 100 km seaward shoreline progradation between Naracoorte and Robe. The sequence is described by the Australian Ocean Data Network and includes sandy and fine-grained facies deposited under various marine and terrestrial conditions.
New seismic reflection data from 2014–15 (GA-349) was used to reassess the tectonic evolution and petroleum prospectivity of the northern Houtman Sub-basin. Interpretation enabled mapping of the Moho, basement, and major sequences, resulting in a 3D geological model covering the survey area. The study significantly reduced exploration risk in this frontier region offshore Western Australia.
1975 weather data was collected by the National Weather Service in International Falls, Minnesota, with total solar insolation measurements made at Fall Lake Dam in Winton, Minn. by Professor Donald Baker of the University of Minnesota. The dataset includes atmospheric radiation, temperature, water vapor, and precipitation indicators.
This dataset contains daily weather and solar insolation measurements for northern Minnesota from 1986. Weather data was collected by the National Weather Service in International Falls, while solar insolation was measured at Fall Lake Dam using a calibrated Yellow Springs solar cell by a University of Minnesota professor. It represents a specific climatological snapshot of the Superior National Forest region.
Weather data were collected by the National Weather Service in International Falls, Minnesota, and total solar insolation measurements were made at Fall Lake Dam in Winton, Minn. by Prof. Donald Baker of the University of Minnesota. The dataset represents conditions for the Superior National Forest area in 1987, with measurements calibrated against professional-grade instruments. It is hosted by ORNL_CLOUD and appears on multiple government data platforms.
Daily weather and solar radiation measurements for the Superior National Forest area in 1990. Data includes atmospheric temperature, precipitation, water vapor, and solar insolation values. It was collected by the National Weather Service and University of Minnesota researchers using calibrated instruments.
Seismic refraction studies were conducted near shallow boreholes at Bewick, Hayman, and Heron Islands on the Great Barrier Reef. One hundred and twenty-four profiles were completed on six reefs in the Capricorn/Bunker Reefs to assess substrate effects on reef growth. The data likely contains geophysical measurements of subsurface discontinuities equated with Holocene/pre-Holocene unconformities.
The Geoscience Australia Boreholes database (BOREHOLE) includes borehole header and directional survey data from four sources: boreholes drilled by Geoscience Australia and its predecessors, all resource exploration boreholes in Australian Commonwealth offshore jurisdictions, a selection of Australian onshore mineral, groundwater, geothermal, and seismic boreholes, and a small number of research-related boreholes outside Australian jurisdiction. Data is sourced from various state, territory, and Commonwealth regulatory authorities for research purposes, with the custodian agency being the authoritative source where Geoscience Australia is not the custodian. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-10.
Evidence from earthquake focal mechanisms and in-situ stress measurements since 1967 indicates substantial horizontal compression across Australia. The dataset includes measurements from eight earthquakes and multiple in-situ sites, such as a 200 km north-south traverse near the 1968 Meckering and 1970 Calingiri earthquakes and sites tested in NSW during 1978 and 1979. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Interpretation of seismic refraction data from the southwestern coast of the Papuan Peninsula and the northwest Coral Sea. The dataset includes sediment thickness, P-wave velocities, and Moho depth, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026. Results support tectonic models for the region's formation.
1974 weather data were collected by the National Weather Service in International Falls, Minnesota, and total solar insolation measurements were made at Fall Lake Dam in Winton, Minn. by Prof. Donald Baker of the University of Minnesota. The dataset includes atmospheric measurements such as temperature, precipitation, water vapor, and solar radiation for a region representative of the Superior National Forest area.
NWS Daily Climatology Data: 1978 (SNF) contains weather observations for the Superior National Forest area collected by the National Weather Service in International Falls, Minnesota. It includes total solar insolation measurements made at Fall Lake Dam in Winton, Minnesota, using a Yellow Springs solar cell calibrated against an Eppley Pyranometer. The dataset represents a single year of daily climatological records.
Surface water quality data collected by the City of Calgary's Watershed Monitoring Program. The program uses accredited ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory methods and grab sampling across rivers, tributaries, and reservoirs. Data includes parameters, results, and sampling locations.
OMPS-NPP L3 LP Aerosol Extinction Vertical Profile monthly data provides retrieved aerosol extinction coefficients from the OMPS Limb-Profiler sensor on the Suomi-NPP satellite. It measures stratospheric aerosol abundance and evolution at six specific wavelengths from 510 to 997 nm. Data is averaged monthly on a global 5x15 degree latitude-longitude grid, with vertical profiles from the ground up to about 41 km at a 1.0 km resolution.
Submarine volcanoes in the New Georgia Group forearc are reported anomalously close to the subduction line of the Woodlark Basin. The dataset includes descriptions of specific volcanoes like Kavachi, which rises nearly 1000 m and is frequently active, and Kana Keoki, which rises to within 700 m of sea level. It originates from the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16.
Supplementary data for a research paper on soil water infiltration in artificial Caragana korshinskii plantations. The data was compiled based on events and sites and supports the results of the paper submitted to the journal Catena. Author ASIM Biswa published the data under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare, with a last update recorded as 2026-05-10.
VOYAGER 2 SATURN RADIO OCCULTATION RAW DATA V1.0 is a dataset from NASA containing raw voltage outputs from S-band and X-band receivers during the spacecraft's Saturn occultation on 26 August 1981. The data includes ring scattering and calibration information collected about 8 hours earlier, along with ancillary files for analysis. These raw measurements have been used to derive profiles of temperature and pressure in Saturn's atmosphere and infer magnetic field orientations in its ionosphere.
