First detailed geological information about the margins of the Exmouth and Wallaby Plateaus off northwest Australia. Data includes rock samples from 41 stations and seismic profiles that led to major changes in understanding the region's tectonic history. The dataset was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and includes descriptions of Triassic to Tertiary rock formations.
A 28-day multi-institutional survey aboard the BMR vessel Rig Seismic collected baseline environmental data on the NSW continental margin in 1992. The project involved personnel from the Sydney Water Board, Sydney University, and the Geological Survey of New South Wales. Its primary objectives included mapping sediment composition, assessing anthropogenic contaminants, and studying non-renewable resources like hydrocarbons and marine sands.
Australian data on sedimentary processes reviews carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and silicon diagenesis at the sediment-water interface. The Port Phillip Bay environmental study demonstrates the use of benthic chambers to define stoichiometry, calculate net benthic respiration and nutrient fluxes, and identify transport processes. Interpretations are more robust when combined with biomarker analyses of organic matter sources in sediments.
Daily Level 3 gridded data from the AIRS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite, processed with the CLIMCAPS algorithm. The dataset provides full atmospheric state profiles, including temperature, water vapor, ozone, carbon monoxide, methane, and other trace gases, at a horizontal resolution of 50 km and a vertical resolution of up to 100 pressure levels. It is intended for monitoring atmospheric composition, climate studies, and air quality research.
From 96 million years ago to 44.5 million years ago, seafloor spreading rates were less than 4.4 mm/year off southern Australia. The dataset is a compilation of seafloor spreading magnetic data for the entire southern margin, including critical data from the 1986 R/V Rig Seismic cruise, confirming and refining previous interpretations. It documents ridge jumps and variable spreading azimuths, interpreted as a response to confinement between obliquely oriented continental margins.
Daily 1,000-meter resolution black-sky albedo data for the VIIRS M8 band (1.240 μm) is produced using a 16-day rolling composite, temporally weighted to the ninth day. This single-layer product is part of a global Climate Modeling Grid suite providing albedo values for nine VIIRS bands and the Day/Night Band. The dataset is designed for climate simulation models and follows the methodology of the VJ143MA3 product.
ACEAS Seagrass working group produced this seagrass habitat map for risk modelling in New South Wales, Australia. The map identifies seagrass presence based on the National Intertidal-Subtidal Benthic Habitat Map, the UNEP WCMC Seagrass map from 2005, publications, and expert knowledge. It was last updated on 2026-07-22 and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A 28-day research cruise from January 7 to February 4, 1992, aimed to assess seabed morphology and offshore mineral resources around Christmas Island. The project planned to acquire about 2500 km of high-resolution reflection seismic and bathymetric data. This information was intended to support Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in seabed boundary negotiations with Indonesia.
A seagrass habitat map produced by the ACEAS Seagrass working group for risk modelling. It identifies seagrass presence based on the National Intertidal-Subtidal Benthic Habitat Map, the UNEP WCMC Seagrass map from 2005, and other publications. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
Geoscience Australia released the National Hydrogeological Inventory (NHI) in 2023 to provide a nation-wide overview of groundwater systems. The inventory covers Australia's 42 major hydrogeological provinces and includes contextual data on communities and industries reliant on groundwater. The dataset is complemented by in-depth regional studies of the Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre Basin and South Nicholson - Georgina Basin.
The Arrinthrunga Formation in the Georgina Basin of central Australia is a complex Upper Cambrian carbonate and mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sequence. It was deposited in a shallow, extensive, and intermittently emergent epeiric sea under warm, arid conditions, leading to high salinities and local evaporite precipitation. The dataset, hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes the lithological and environmental evolution of this formation.
A series of species trials investigated the establishment and early growth of 44 native and non-native tree species on various lowland British sites up to 14 years old. The dataset, produced by the Forestry Commission, highlights species performance under different site conditions and discusses implications for climate change adaptation. Results are detailed in a 2007 Forestry journal article by Willoughby et al.
Eight gravity cores from the Southern Australian Continental Margin were analyzed for porewater metabolites, major and trace element abundances, and radiochemical data. The dataset, part of Bureau of Mineral Resources survey 67, provides a record for assessing long-term environmental change and Late Quaternary paleoceanography. It forms part of a broader geochemical database for the Australian continental margin.
A marine geophysical dataset containing approximately 3,191 km of multichannel seismic lines acquired in 1992. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network to investigate the geological framework of the southern Lord Howe Rise and West Norfolk Ridge region. The survey aimed to support continental shelf definition and assess the resource potential of the seabed boundary zone between Australia and New Zealand.
Tasmanian seagrass habitat presence-absence map produced by the ACEAS Seagrass working group. The map identifies seagrass presence based on the National Intertidal-Subtidal Benthic Habitat Map and the UNEP WCMC Seagrass map from 2005. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
The National Environmental Science Program Marine and Coastal Hub aggregates research data collections and projects funded by the Australian Government. The program's second phase invests $149 million from 2020-21 to 2026-27, administered by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. Research products include applied studies on estuaries, reefs, and deep-water systems, as well as biodiversity products and decision-support tools.
A geological case study assesses the CO2 storage suitability of the Early Cretaceous Gage Sandstone in Australia's offshore Vlaming Sub-basin. The analysis integrates 2D seismic interpretation, well log data from 8 wells, and biostratigraphic review to characterize the reservoir. The Gage Sandstone is a sand-rich submarine fan system with porosities of 23-30% and permeabilities of 200-1800 mD, lying 1000-3000 meters below the seafloor.
Hourly mean wind gust values from the Lower Austria air quality monitoring network, provided in meters per second. The data is updated every hour in Central European Time, with daily files covering measurements from 0 to 2 p.m. of the current day. The dataset is provided by the Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Twenty-seven geomorphic units were identified and hand-digitized for the Antarctic continental margin and adjoining ocean basins. The map is based on public bathymetry data like GEBCO08 and ETOPO2, updated since original publications in 2009 and 2014. This dataset has been used for benthic bioregionalisation and planning Marine Protected Areas in East Antarctica.
Vienna's Hohe Warte meteorological station provides monthly weather data starting in April 1872. The dataset includes measurements for air temperature, air pressure, clouds, wind speed, and precipitation. It is published by Cooperation OGD Österreich and Wikimedia Österreich under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
