A dataset defining marine heatwaves (MHWs) based on the Hobday et al. (2016, 2018) methodology. It categorizes events by severity and defines properties like duration, intensity, and cumulative intensity. The data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.
Christmas Island, a raised atoll producing nearly 1,000,000 tonnes of phosphate rock annually until 1987, lies on oceanic crust 1600 km from Australia. This dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network details a 1992 seabed resource study for boundary delimitation, focusing on the island's volcanic pedestal, limestone layers, and the surrounding 5000-6000 m deep abyssal plains. It likely contains survey data on seabed morphology and non-living resources from the research vessel RV Rig Seismic.
Water quality observations for Ashmore Reef, a tropical marine reserve on Australia's North-west Shelf, collected since 1991 with an intensive program from 1999. Data includes regional, lagoonal, and well water chemistry, sea surface temperatures ranging from 25.48°C to 30.2°C, and salinity measurements from 34.51 to 34.75. The dataset is published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A 1:1,000,000 scale map covering almost 600,000 km² of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, based on mapping from 30 m resolution ASTER DEM and 15 m/30 m resolution Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery. The map, presented by Robin Blomdin, includes four landform classes: marginal moraines, glacial lineations, hummocky terrain, and glacial valleys. It estimates past glacier coverage at 65,000 km², compared to a present-day coverage of 1,300 km².
ERA-Interim reanalysis air temperature data showed high accuracy for Paraná State, with MAPE > 5% and bias < 2°C across all seasons. The study by Lucas Eduardo de Oliveira Aparecido compared 10-day and monthly temperature and rainfall data from 1989 to 2014 against surface station data (INMET). Rainfall data from the reanalysis consistently underestimated observations in several macro-regions, showing low accuracy with R² ≅ 0 and high MAPE (> 15%).
INW data from the Government of Northwest Territories describes inland water features, drainage systems, and their characteristics. Resources cover rivers, glaciers, salt lakes, dams, floods, water quality, and hydrographic charts. The dataset is provided in ESRI REST format and is licensed under the OGL-CA-2.0 license.
Hui An's dataset contains results from a 7-year field experiment in a desert grassland, manipulating nutrient addition (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and precipitation change (±50%). It quantifies how plant functional component assembly, including species turnover and intraspecific trait variation, regulates the stability of aboveground, belowground, and total biomass. The data supports analysis of how precipitation and nutrient enrichment influence biomass stability through different trait-assembly pathways.
African hydropower simulations for 87 power plants across 27 countries and five power pools. The dataset contains results from climate model simulations forced by NASA's NEX-GDDP dataset, covering a retrospective period (1950-2005) and two future scenarios (RCP 4.5 and 8.5). This work is based on a forthcoming publication by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University.
Gippsland Basin bathymetry data collected by Geoscience Australia in April 2015. The survey aimed to acquire industry-standard 2D seismic, multi-beam echo-sounder, and sub-bottom profiling data to assess the region's CO2 storage potential. Data from the MV Duke vessel are available for free download from Geoscience Australia.
Australian continent-wide estimates of Moho depth, derived from multiple geophysical surveys. The dataset combines results from portable seismic stations, full-crustal reflection profiles spanning more than 25,000 km, marine reflection results, earlier refraction studies, and gravity inversion. It was published in Geophysical Journal International in January 2023 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
The GA-349 seismic survey acquired new 2D seismic reflection data in 2014/15. Geoscience Australia integrated about 26,000 km of gravity and magnetic data from 2008/09 surveys to produce unified datasets. This study uses potential field modelling to validate crustal structure and model density variations within the Houtman Sub-basin.
Ozone column data from HadGEM3-ES simulations used in Wade et al. 2020. The dataset likely contains 3D ozone fields in mass mixing ratio and Dobson Units. It includes results from multiple experiments: Hi-HAL, LO-HAL, HI-SO2, LO-SO2, and a CONTROL run.
Processed data from simulations of a 2-layer Quasi-Geostrophic model and DOE's E3SM Atmosphere Model Version 2 (EAMv2), along with ERA5 reanalysis data, used to generate results for a 2023 study on machine learning correction operators for under-resolved climate models. The archive was created by Benedikt Barthel of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The data is post-processed for plotting and analysis as described in the associated paper.
Rebecca Liyanage from MIT conducted an experimental study on the impact of gravity fingering on deep drainage coupled with surface evaporation in a 3D porous medium. The dataset includes observations of the onset time of gravity fingers, their size, the volume of water injected over time, and the accumulation rate within the system. Experiments varied rainfall event volume and interval to replicate climate conditions using a cylindrical vessel packed with dry glass beads.
Annual 0.01-degree gridded ground-level PM2.5 estimates for Eastern China from 2000 to 2020, with data for 2000 covering March to December. Jing Wei from the University of Maryland, College Park generated the dataset using MODIS/Terra+Aqua MAIAC AOD products and auxiliary data with artificial intelligence. The annual estimates show high correlation with ground-based measurements (R² = 0.94) and an average root-mean-square error of 5.07 µg m⁻³.
National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory data for six key pollutants across the UK for 2016, formatted for the EMEP chemical transport model. The dataset includes 1km x 1km gridded area sources from 11 distinct sectors, with point sources allocated to their respective grid cells. Python scripts for processing the data are available from a Zenodo repository, and the data is provided under the UK Open Government Licence.
A variety of geophysical data from the remote Capel and Faust Basins, located 800 km east of Brisbane in 1000-3000 m of water. The dataset includes integrated 2D seismic reflection, sonobuoy refraction, and marine potential-field data, with interpretation suggesting four main syn-rift megasequence packages. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network as part of the Australian Government's Energy Security Initiative.
Distancefromforestedge_pantropics.zip is a geotiff file providing pixel-level distance in meters to the nearest forest edge across the pantropics, based on forest definitions from Baccini et al., 2012. The dataset includes a shapefile with regression coefficients for three methods to calculate biomass storage within 100km grid cells. It was authored by Richard Sharp of Stanford University.
From March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2017, this dataset provides soil moisture and groundwater storage data for the South Nation Watershed in eastern Canada. It combines high-resolution simulations from the HydroGeoSphere model with near-surface soil moisture and Soil Water Index derived from the SMAP satellite. The data was compiled by Aruna Kumar Nayak of the University of Toronto.
A research paper from the Gippsland Marine Environmental Monitoring project presents a case study on assessing the impacts of marine seismic surveys on cetaceans, fish, and invertebrates. The study, published in Ocean & Coastal Management in 2018, evaluates a multi-faceted field-based approach combining conventional and innovative methods. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on the platform in 2026.
