A 2019 compilation of approximately 1.8 million gravity observations, including nearly 1.4 million ground stations and airborne surveys totaling 451,000 line km, processed by Geoscience Australia. The grid has a cell size of 0.00417 degrees (approximately 435m) and shows a half vertical derivative of the complete Bouguer anomalies over Australia and its continental margins. Data sources include the Australian National Gravity Database and offshore data from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, NOAA, and NGA.
Nearly 1.8 million gravity observations, including 1.4 million ground stations and 451,000 line km of airborne data, were used to create this 2019 grid. The Australian Geological Survey processed ground, offshore, and airborne data to produce a de-trended global isostatic residual (DGIR) tilt grid with a 435m cell size. This compilation integrates data from government, industry, and academic sources collected from the 1940s onward.
A gravity anomaly grid for Australia and its continental margins derived from nearly 1.4 million ground and marine observations. The grid has a cell size of approximately 435 meters and shows the first vertical derivative of de-trended global isostatic residual anomalies. Data originates from the Australian National Gravity Database as of September 2019, supplemented by global marine data, with ground observations collected by various entities from the 1940s onward.
A 2019 study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters presents beryllium isotope measurements from Prydz Bay, Antarctica. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes samples from open marine, sub-ice shelf, and subglacial depositional environments. The research demonstrates the use of Be isotopes as tracers for sediment source, transport pathways, and sub-ice shelf circulation strength.
26 identified neotectonic features in the Gippsland region of southeastern Australia, characterized by high seismic activity. The dataset, presented at the 2025 AEES conference, uses Vicmap lidar data to improve fault mapping and documentation for seismic hazard assessment. Results inform estimates of uplift rates and maximum-magnitude earthquakes to improve community safety and energy security.
Australian ocean plankton data collected by the Continuous Plankton Recorder survey, a joint project of CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research and the Australian Antarctic Division. The dataset aims to map biodiversity, develop a long-term baseline, and document changes in response to climate change. Results are available through the Australian Ocean Data Network portal.
720.2 KB of data from a study on the endemic frog Cacosternum capense in the Cape Floristic Region. The dataset includes field data on microhabitat characteristics and species distribution models projected across historical (1970–2000), present-day (2021–2040), and future (2041–2060) periods. It was authored by Saffiya D Ginel and last updated on 2026-05-26.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides data on buried Upper Devonian reef structures in the Lennard Shelf, Canning Basin. The dataset includes analysis from the Meda No. 1 borehole and sixteen selected seismic-record sections, with frequency analysis indicating potential reef structures. The record was last updated on 2026-06-27.
The Van Diemen Rise in the eastern Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, Northern Australia, was surveyed across four study areas from outer to inner shelf. The dataset includes 1,154 square kilometres of multibeam sonar data providing 100% seabed coverage, 340 line-km of sub-bottom profiles, and geological, biological, and oceanographic samples from 63 stations. It integrates sedimentological, geochemical, geophysical, and biological data to investigate the region's late-Quaternary evolution and relationships between physical environment and benthic biota.
Data from the Australian Ocean Data Network quantifies fish behaviour and commercial catch rates in relation to a 2-D seismic survey in the Gippsland Basin, Bass Strait, Australia in April 2015. The dataset combines field-based acoustic telemetry for three species (gummy shark, swell shark, tiger flathead) with a desktop analysis of Commonwealth fisheries logbook data for 15 species from January 2012 to October 2015. It provides empirical evidence on the potential impacts of seismic airgun operations on marine species.
A global in situ forest biomass database provides aboveground biomass and canopy height estimates at a 0.25-hectare scale from permanent research plots worldwide. The Forest Observation System initiative maintains this dataset for calibrating and validating satellite remote sensing products. The live dataset is available from the FOS website.
Washington State 2012 wildfire season data blending in-situ monitors, satellite observations, and chemical-transport model simulations to estimate population exposure to PM2.5 from wildfire smoke. The dataset, created by William Lassman, includes process data and code for ridge-regression and geographically weighted ridge-regression blending models. Performance of individual and blended exposure-estimation techniques was evaluated using leave-one-out cross-validation.
Time series of meteorological variables collected at 15-minute intervals at 22 sites across the Quesnel, upper Fraser and Nechako watersheds in Canada. The dataset includes air, near-surface air/snow and soil temperatures, relative humidity, snow depth, atmospheric pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed and direction, along with rainfall and air temperature from tipping bucket rain gauges. Data were collected by Jeremy Morris from 2017 to 2021 and are provided with quality flags and detailed metadata.
Australian coastal waters are monitored by daily, full-resolution (approximately 300m pixel) satellite-derived water quality data. The dataset includes chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and total suspended solids (TSS) produced by CSIRO using the FUB-CSIRO Coastal Water Processor. It is a reprojected Level 2P product derived from Sentinel-3 OLCI data, with quality flags applied for data control.
New South Wales polygon features defining groundwater sources and management zones under the Water Management Act 2000. The dataset represents the 'stacked' nature of aquifers, with fields for up to five subsurface levels. It is published by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water and was initially published on 28/08/2024.
The AUSTREA-1 survey, conducted by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation in January 2000, mapped approximately 120,000 km² of seabed off southeast Australia. Data collected includes swath-bathymetry, backscatter imagery, seismic profiles, magnetics, gravity, and oceanographic measurements. The work was done for marine zone planning, resource assessment, and geological and biological research.
A novel experiment designed by University of Florida researchers investigates how water availability and an introduced predator interact to influence treefrogs' vertical niche selection. The study found native species altered their climbing behavior and distanced themselves from abiotic resources to avoid the non-native species, with interactions best modeled by a biotic-abiotic interaction model. This dataset likely contains behavioral and physiological measurements from the experiment, providing evidence of native species resilience through physiological adaptation and behavioral plasticity.
A biostratigraphic and stratigraphic compilation for the Canning Basin in Western Australia consolidates data from 157 boreholes. The report provides a tectonostratigraphic framework and includes updated stratigraphic charts and 25 borehole correlation transects covering 604 key boreholes. Datasets are available in appendices, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in June 2026.
30 years of annual, monthly, and daily gridded climate maps for precipitation and maximum and minimum air temperature from January 1, 1988, to December 31, 2017. The dataset was created by the Center for Sustainable Watershed Management of the Arequipa Nexus Institute at Purdue University using weather station data from SENAMHI and NOAA's GSOD, interpolated with topography data from ALOS World 3D DEM.
More than 2000 photographs collected by engineers Mete A. Sozen and Nathan M. Newmark from sixteen major earthquakes between 1931 and 1992. The collection documents structural damage and engineering observations from events including the 1971 San Fernando, 1985 Mexico City, and 1989 Loma Prieta earthquakes. This historical archive was compiled to inform the evolution of seismic design codes and practices.
