Version 2.0 of the 4km-resolution regional-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef, forced with ocean boundary data from the BlueLink OceanMAPS model and atmospheric data from the Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS-R model. The model incorporated tide data from 22 constituents of the global CSR tide model and river boundary data from 71 rivers, including measured flows from 22 QLD DNRM stations. It ran in near-real-time, updating daily, until January 2024 when sensor damage during the monsoon season halted operations.
The Dampier Sub-Basin offshore Australia was surveyed in October 1990. A joint BMR-Woodside Petroleum program collected 352 km of high-resolution seismic data and 530.6 km of water column geochemical data. The data quality was reported as good.
Queensland's coastal aquifers face saltwater intrusion due to extensive groundwater use, particularly during dry periods. The Australian Ocean Data Network documents management techniques including artificial recharge, use restrictions, and predictive modeling to ensure sustainable yields. This resource was last updated in April 2026.
Queensland's extensive river deltas contain fertile land reliant on groundwater, where intensive agricultural use has triggered saltwater intrusion. The Australian Ocean Data Network documents management techniques like artificial recharge and predictive modeling to ensure supply sustainability. This dataset was last updated in April 2026.
Northeastern Spencer Gulf in South Australia contains data on Holocene sea-level changes and coastal progradation. The Australian Ocean Data Network compiled precise elevation measurements of beach ridges and sea-grass deposits, with 14C dating of mollusc shells and shell hash. The dataset details sea-level history from 6000 years B.P. to the present.
14C dating of mollusc shells and sea-grass root fibers establishes a Holocene sea-level history spanning the last 6000 years. The dataset contains precise elevation measurements for beach ridges and subtidal sea-grass deposits, ranging from +1.1 m to +1.8 m A.H.D. for ridges and below -2 m A.H.D. for sea-grass. It was produced by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Palynological investigation of dredged samples from the Bight and Duntroon Basins identifies palynofloras correlating with the Maastrichtian to earliest Paleocene Forcipites longus Zone and the Manumiella druggii Zone. The data, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, indicates widespread deposition of the upper Potoroo Formation across these offshore basins. Environments ranged from paralic to marine, with evidence of recycled Permian to Cenomanian palynomorphs.
Palynological data from Mesozoic sediments in the offshore Bight and Duntroon Basins of southern Australia. The dataset correlates palynofloras with specific spore/pollen and microplankton zones, indicating depositional environments from paralic to marine. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with metadata last updated in April 2026.
Disaggregated data from a 2024 PLoS One study investigating microclimate factors related to dengue virus burden clusters. The 3.8 MB XLS file contains data collected in two endemic towns in Morelos, Mexico, during 2016. Author JOSE RAMOS-CASTAÑEDA published the dataset on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Over 3 trillion tonnes of coal resources are documented across Permian basins in eastern Australia, an area comparable to Europe's Carboniferous coal basins from Scotland to the western Soviet Union. The report consolidates two major databases from the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) on basin stratigraphy and structure and from CSIRO on coal properties. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with a platform update recorded in April 2026.
Two major databases detail the stratigraphy, structure, and properties of Permian coals across eastern Australia, covering an area comparable to Europe's Carboniferous coal basins from Scotland to the western Soviet Union. The report, produced by the Bureau of Mineral Resources and CSIRO, includes 42 plates and dozens of line drawings illustrating surface and underground geology, sedimentology, and coal chemistry. It categorizes basins into three tectonic groups, including interior basins with over 3 trillion tonnes of coal.
Forty-two major Mesozoic lithofacies types were recovered from dredging operations on the northern Exmouth Plateau and Rowley Terrace. The dataset documents rock samples indicating Late Triassic shelf carbonates, reef deposits, and volcanic activity, alongside Jurassic to Cretaceous marine sediments. The Australian Geological Survey Organisation conducted the dredging program in 1990 to provide geological control for seismic interpretations.
AGSO conducted a dredging program in 1990 on the northern Exmouth Plateau and Rowley Terrace offshore northwest Australia. The program recovered forty-two major Mesozoic lithofacies types, including shelf carbonates, volcanics, and siliciclastics. These samples provide geological control for seismic interpretations and insights into Late Triassic to Early Cretaceous depositional environments.
Canada's marine territory is covered by a climate risk index for 145 species of commercial and conservation interest. The dataset provides vulnerability and risk scores at a 0.25-degree resolution under two emission scenarios projected to 2100. It includes 12 climate indexes and three vulnerability dimensions per species and location, developed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada using the CRIB framework.
Geological data for the onshore Canning Basin, a large intracratonic basin in Western Australia. The dataset describes five major periods of sedimentation, including Devonian reef-carbonates and Jurassic sandstones, with sequences up to 18 km thick. Compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network, the metadata was last updated in April 2026.
Five major periods of sedimentation from the Early Ordovician to the Cainozoic characterize the onshore geology of this large intracratonic basin. The sequence includes faulted and folded Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks up to 18 km thick, with assessments for petroleum and groundwater resources. The dataset was compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
PLACE III provides nearly 300 variables of national-level aggregations for territorial extent and population size across urban, rural, and total designations. The dataset covers 232 statistical areas, including countries and UN-recognized territories, with estimates categorized by biome, climate zone, coastal proximity, elevation, and population density zone. It is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).
A drilling program in southeast South Australia analyzed a regressive sedimentary sequence developed over 690,000 years or less. The data indicates at least 20 major high sea-level stands during this period, resulting in 100 km of shoreline progradation. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this analysis, with metadata last updated in April 2026.
Sedimentary records from 540 to 510 million years ago document the transition from rift basin to platform sequence in South Australia. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this geological study, which includes analysis of granitoid emplacement phases and mineral deposit potential. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.
A 1961 reconnaissance marine reflection seismic survey shot 753 miles of traverse in the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia. Conducted by Seismograph Service Limited for West Australian Petroleum Pty Limited, the survey aimed to map regional geology and fault structures in the Exmouth Gulf and coastal waters.
