2019 Australian National Gravity Grids combine over 1.4 million ground observations from the 1940s onward with satellite and airborne data. The grids, produced by Geoscience Australia and GNS Science, provide Free Air Anomaly, Complete Bouguer Anomaly, and De-trended Global Isostatic Residual values at a 400-metre cell size. Offshore data from a global gravity grid supplements the onshore ground data for continental context.
AGSO Journal vol.15 no. 3 is a collection of nine peer-reviewed research articles published by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The articles cover topics including geological field classification, Archaean gold mineralisation, integrated geophysical mapping, earthquake seismicity, landscape evolution, marine benthic communities, and paleontological correlations. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-16 and is available in HTML and PDF formats.
A 1965 marine survey by the Bureau of Mineral Resources tested a spark discharge seismic source and surface gravity meter simultaneously. Seismic reflections of good quality were recorded to 1.6 seconds while the vessel traveled at 8 to 9 miles per hour. The survey revealed a large offshore sedimentary basin containing at least 10,000 feet of post-Permian sediments.
The Argo Abyssal Plain in the eastern Indian Ocean is covered by about 2800 km of bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles, spanning an area of approximately 110,000 km². The data, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, reveals the tectonic and sedimentary history from the Late Jurassic to the present. It identifies structural features like the Joey Graben and sediment sequences correlated with ODP and DSDP sites.
Three discrete high-energy fluvial depositional systems, with sandstone bodies up to 70 meters thick, are distinguished in the Lower Cretaceous Eumeralla Formation. Relationships, thicknesses, and palaeocurrent data from outcrops in the eastern Otway Basin are documented by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The data supports a model of volcaniclastic apron and alluvial fan sedimentation during the Aptian-Albian period.
Geoscience Australia Cruise 270 collected multibeam-sonar bathymetry, 3090 km of multichannel seismic data, magnetic data, and rock samples from the Kenn Plateau off northeast Australia. The dataset documents the plateau's complex structure of thinned continental crust, rift basins, and volcanic edifices. Dredged sedimentary rocks have been dated micropaleontologically as Eocene and younger.
Approximately 900 km of east-west seismic reflection profile data at 27.2°S constrains the formation of the Lord Howe Rise continental ribbon. The dataset includes processed pre-stack depth-migrated images and interpretations from a 2016 marine geophysical survey, presented by the Australian Ocean Data Network. Findings detail rift basins up to 3.5 km thick and variations in syn-rift faulting.
Processed pre-stack depth-migrated seismic reflection images cover a regional, approximately 900 km long east-west profile at 27.2°S. The dataset includes grids of pre-stack time-migrated lines covering two rift basins on the Lord Howe Rise, revealing syn-rift and post-rift sedimentary sequences. Data was collected during a 2016 marine geophysical survey and presented by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
883 CTD profiles were collected by an autonomous Slocum glider diving to depths between 500 and 1000 meters. This dataset captures conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements from a 2019-2020 field campaign 300km west of Monterey, California, supporting the prelaunch calibration of the SWOT satellite mission. The data provides a detailed subsurface view of oceanographic conditions at the SWOT satellite's planned crossover location.
This geospatial dataset identifies the five Somali districts—Bossaso, Bandarbeyla, Iskushuban, Garoowe, and Eyl—impacted by Tropical Cyclone Murjan in October 2012. Produced by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC), it records meteorological data including wind speeds of 68.4 km/hr and rainfall between 100-200mm. The data tracks the system from its formation in the Arabian Sea to its landfall at coordinates 9.80N, 50.80E.
Groundwater samples from fractured bedrock aquifers beneath dryland salinity sites in the Yass region of New South Wales, Australia. The dataset includes chemical composition data for major cations and anions, with salinity ranging from 250 to 2250 mg/L. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Stable isotope and chemical data for thermal waters and fumarolic exhalations from the Rabaul caldera in Papua New Guinea. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes D/H and O18/O16 ratios, anion ratios, and trace metal contents (Fe, Mn, Zn) to investigate water source mixing. It was last updated on 2026-04-16.
An 8000-meter-deep trench, the New Britain Trench, dominates the morphology of the Solomon Sea basin. The dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network includes seismic reflection profiles and bathymetric soundings that reveal the structure of the continental shelf and submarine canyons near the Huon Peninsula. These data show the Markham submarine canyon as a major sediment conduit and detail the construction of a young, deltaic continental shelf south of Lae.
IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center (ICPAC) produced this dataset documenting the impact of Tropical Cyclone Sagar on eight Somali regions in May 2018. It details humanitarian consequences for over 1 million affected individuals, including displacement figures, fatalities, and the destruction of 21 health facilities. The data covers regions including Awdal, Bari, and Gedo during the rare Gulf of Aden storm event.
Quebec's Air Quality Monitoring Network provides annual descriptive statistics of hourly contaminant concentrations. The data is published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
The Granites-Tanami region links the Proterozoic areas of northwestern and central Australia. It contains two main tectonic units with rocks ranging from Lower Proterozoic (1960 million years) to early Carboniferous, correlated with five other Australian geological regions. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.
A 1995 research cruise report from the R.V. Aurora Australis details a marine geoscience program in Prydz Bay and the Kerguelen Plateau. The program, led by AGSO and the Antarctic Co-operative Research Centre, aimed to study sedimentary records to understand Antarctic ice sheet behavior and Southern Ocean circulation changes over time intervals from 0-10,000 to 0-5,000,000 years. The report describes the scientific background, goals, and planned methods for collecting sediment samples to inform climate modeling.
A magnitude 7.9 earthquake on 20 July 1975 caused at least $300,000 in damage and a two-metre tsunami in the Solomon Islands. The report details landsliding, liquefaction, and damage to villages and mining installations, with aftershocks covering 12,500 square kilometres. Geoscience Australia provides this analysis, including fault-plane solutions and identification of a future seismic risk zone.
360 longitudinal and 179 latitudinal grid cells provide monthly surface ocean pH, acidity, and Revelle Factor data from the pre-industrial year 1770 to 2100. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information produced this climatology by merging over 23 million observations from the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas with Earth System Model trends. The data covers historical periods and future scenarios based on IPCC RCP pathways.
Monthly mean grids from three runs of Germany's ECHAM4 climate model, including control, greenhouse gas, and aerosol scenarios. The model output is at T42 resolution, producing a 128x64 latitude/longitude Gaussian grid. Decadal and smoothed 30-year running means have been computed from these monthly grids by SCIOPS.
