Five cryptic mitochondrial lineages of the red seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis have been introduced worldwide. Parks Australia provides this dataset, last updated in July 2026, which compares globally collected mitochondrial cox2-3 intergenic spacer sequences with those from Australian locations and South Korea to identify lineages and cryptic introductions.
A global collection of 2,978 paleoclimate proxy time series, collated with a focus on the past 2000 years. The dataset includes tree ring chronologies, coral and sclerosponge records, ice core isotope records, speleothem isotope records, and lake and marine sediment records. It was assembled through collaborative efforts with the Last Millennium Reanalysis project and provides the basis for published climate reconstructions.
Near real-time sea surface temperature data is supplied within 24 hours from ships of opportunity and research vessels worldwide. The Australian Ocean Data Network manages this sub-facility, which involves five vessels in the Australian Volunteer Observing Fleet and two vessels with newly designed real-time systems. All data are quality assured, placed on the Global Telecommunications System, and fed into operational regional and global SST analyses.
Multi-sensor sea surface temperature (SST) data composited from VIIRS and AVHRR satellite sensors over six consecutive night-time periods. The product provides a 0.02-degree resolution map covering 70E to 170W, 20N to 70S, with quality levels remapped using Sensor Specific Error Statistics. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network via the Integrated Marine Observing System.
The National Wave Archive contains wave parameter data from buoys deployed around Australia and New Zealand. Data is contributed by multiple organizations including the Bureau of Meteorology, state departments, and universities, using Waverider and Spotter buoy systems. The archive includes both older non-directional and newer directional wave data, with some datasets having been reformatted from previous collections.
A polygonal geospatial layer of wetlands of interest (MHI) located on state land in Quebec, designated under the Sustainable Forest Development Act. These wetlands are of high ecological value and are managed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, with forest activities largely prohibited. The data originates from the official Forest Territorial Subdivisions (STF) product maintained by the government.
Port Phillip Bay coastal hazard assessment provides modelled spatial layers for erosion, inundation, and shallow groundwater extent under various sea level rise scenarios. The dataset is produced by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, with technical reports from CSIRO (2022) and Water Technology (2023). It was last updated on 2026-06-15.
Port Phillip Bay coastal hazard assessment provides modelled spatial layers for storm tide inundation, erosion, and groundwater scenarios. The dataset includes extents for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability storm tide combined with rainfall and sea level rise scenarios up to 1.4 meters. It was produced by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) for the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
Multiple spatial layers from modelled erosion, inundation, and groundwater hazard scenarios for the Port Phillip Bay region. The dataset is recommended for regional-scale assessment and is not suitable for individual property scale. It was produced by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) and last updated on 2026-06-15.
Port Phillip Bay coastal hazard assessment provides spatial layers for modelled erosion, inundation, and groundwater scenarios. The dataset includes storm tide inundation extents for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability across multiple sea level rise scenarios, including 0.5m with rainfall. It was produced by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) and is managed by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
A geospatial dataset from the Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment modeling shallow groundwater hazard extents. The product consists of multiple spatial layers for modeled erosion, inundation, and groundwater scenarios and is recommended for regional-scale use around Port Phillip Bay. It was produced by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) for the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
Multiple spatial layers from modelled erosion, inundation, and groundwater hazard scenarios for Port Phillip Bay. The dataset includes storm tide inundation extents for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability across sea level rise scenarios from 0m to 1.4m, presented as combined vector layers incorporating modelled 95th, 50th, and 5th percentiles. The product was developed by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) for the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
Nine monitoring sites in the Russell-Mulgrave catchment south of Cairns were sampled from 2016 to 2020. The dataset contains results from discrete grab samples analyzed for nutrients and sediments, focusing on nitrogen, phosphorus, and total suspended solids. Data collection was conducted under NESP TWQ projects 2.1.7 and 4.8 by the TropWATER JCU laboratory.
Pakistan was impacted by a magnitude 5.4 earthquake on June 27, 2026, with an epicenter 53km NW of Rakhni. The dataset, produced by the World Food Programme's Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) system, estimates the event impacted 111,709 people within a 50km radius. It provides geospatial and socio-economic analysis for sudden-onset humanitarian emergencies.
Multiple spatial layers model coastal hazards for Port Phillip Bay, including storm tide inundation, erosion, and shallow groundwater extent. The product is recommended for regional-scale use and is based on technical reports from CSIRO (2022), Water Technology (2023), and Kennedy (2022). It includes scenarios for sea level rises of 0m, 0.2m, 0.5m, 0.8m, 1.1m, and 1.4m.
From 2015 to 2020, the National Environmental Science Program Tropical Water Quality Hub funded research to manage and conserve Australia's environment. The program funded 25 short-term projects in its first round and 18 multi-year projects in its second, focusing on three themes: ecosystem impacts, species resilience, and natural resource management. The metadata is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Port Phillip Bay Coastal Hazard Assessment models erosion, inundation, and groundwater hazards under various sea-level rise scenarios. The dataset includes multiple spatial layers for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability storm tide, with groundwater extents indicating where water is within 0 to 2 meters of the surface. It was produced by CSIRO, Water Technology, and Kennedy (2022-2023) for the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
From 2017 to the present, this dataset provides seamless daily, monthly, and yearly 1 km resolution ground-level PM2.5 concentrations over global land areas. It was generated by Jing Wei and colleagues at the University of Maryland using AI to fuse ground measurements, satellite data, and atmospheric models. The dataset is associated with a 2023 Nature Communications article and is part of the larger GlobalHighAirPollutants (GHAP) series.
Ning Dong from Imperial College London produced a dataset analyzing the relationship between rising CO2, warming, and global canopy nitrogen demand. It uses satellite-derived Leaf Area Index data from 1982 to 2016 and applies the coordination hypothesis to predict photosynthetic capacity. The findings suggest canopy nitrogen demand has declined since 1997 despite increasing leaf area.
Gridded multi-beam echosounder data from NSW government surveys of coastal seabed areas. Surveys were conducted from 2005 onwards, funded by programs like SeabedNSW, State-wide Science, and Coastal Reforms, using vessels RV Bombora, Seascan, and Glaucus. Data includes bathymetry and backscatter processed to IHO 1B standard and gridded to a 5-meter cell size relative to the Australian Height Datum.
