December 2008 to present flux tower measurements from a complex mesophyll vine forest in the Daintree Rainforest, Australia. The data were processed by James Cook University using PyFluxPro (v3.4.23) to produce gap-filled Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), and Ecosystem Respiration (ER) products. The site is part of the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) and the FNQ Rainforest SuperSite.
Biomass and productivity data for native C3 and introduced C4 grasslands near Charleville, Australia, collected via harvest techniques over a 12-month study from 1973 to 1974. The dataset includes above- and below-ground biomass, litterfall, bioelement data, and a 52-year climate record from a local weather station spanning 1942 to 1994. This data was compiled by NASA to parameterize a simulation model for primary production and livestock carrying capacity.
Four data files detail a 260-hectare humid Trachypogon savanna in Calabozo, Venezuela. Monthly estimates include above-ground biomass for burned and unburned plots from 1969, plus a later period with LAI, nitrogen content, and weather data from 1968-1986. NASA published this dataset, which was checked for accuracy in 1998.
Two text files contain monthly biomass and daily net primary productivity (ANPP) for a temperate grassland steppe in Patagonia, Argentina, from May 1981 to March 1983, alongside climate data from 1981 through 1985. The data, collected by NASA, shows ANPP ranging from 0.00-0.15 g/m²/day in winter to 0.22-0.94 g/m²/day in warmer months, with an annual estimate of 35 g/m²/year. Measurements were taken from a 2.5-hectare exclosure on the Rio Mayo terraces, a region historically impacted by over-grazing.
Geoscience Australia's record details the interpretation of approximately 6,000 km of 2D seismic data acquired over the remote Capel and Faust basins in late 2006 and early 2007. The seismic data was supplemented by multibeam bathymetry and shipboard gravity and magnetic data. This digital interpretation is released in workstation formats to complement scientific conclusions published elsewhere.
Australia provides a dataset of 741 field observations for calibrating the Vegetation and Soil-carbon Transfer (VAST) model. The data, compiled from 174 literature references by NASA, includes net primary productivity, biomass, litter mass, and soil carbon measurements. The core data was originally published in 2001, with documentation updates noted in 2026.
13,870 g/m2 was the average total above-ground biomass measured across 16 permanent plots in a late secondary moist subtropical forest in 1983. The dataset tracks biomass, litterfall, herbivory, and net primary productivity along an elevational gradient from 60 to 290 meters over a 20-year period, including the effects of hurricanes and drought, and includes supplementary climate station records from 1917 to 1981. Periodic disturbances appear to maintain the forest in a state of recovery, with biomass declining by nearly 7 percent by 2003.
Manaus, Brazil is the focus of this dataset containing net primary productivity (NPP) and climate measurements for tropical rainforests. It includes six ASCII files with productivity values for multiple forest types along a hydrologic gradient studied from 1963 to 1990, plus monthly and annual climate data spanning 1910 to 1993. The dataset was compiled by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
NPP Tropical Forest: Atherton, Australia, 1974-1985, R1 contains eight text files of field measurements from three sub-sites in Queensland's tropical rainforests. The data includes annual litterfall, standing litter biomass, leaf decomposition rates, nutrient concentrations, precipitation, and temperature, collected at intervals from weekly to quarterly. Total litterfall averaged 905, 987, and 1,103 g/m2/year across the Wongabel, Gadgarra, and Tableland sites, providing minimum above-ground net primary productivity estimates for this region.
Net primary productivity estimates for a tropical dry deciduous forest at the Chamela Biological Station in Mexico. The dataset includes detailed above-ground and below-ground NPP components, nutrient fluxes for phosphorus and other minerals, and local precipitation and temperature data collected from three watershed plots along an elevational gradient. Field measurements were taken during wet and dry seasons from 1982 to 1995, and the data was originally published by NASA in 2001.
Five ASCII files provide biomass, net primary productivity (NPP), and bioelement concentration data for three distinct tropical forest sites near San Carlos de Rio Negro, Venezuela, along a riverine-to-hilltop gradient. The dataset also includes local climate records from a village weather station. Collected by NASA, this data covers measurements from 1975 to 1984.
Volcan de Colima in Mexico is the source of samples for this dataset. The data form the central part of a published study and were generated by deforming cored rock samples at high temperatures up to 1000°C under controlled stresses at LMU in Munich, Germany. This work provides generalized insights into the flow behavior of crystal-bearing magmas.
Permeability data for volcanic glass fragments from Hrafntinnuhryggur, Iceland, sintered at 1006°C. The data was collected and analyzed at the University of Liverpool in 2021 and 2022 for publication in 2023. It was used to study permeability evolution in fragmental systems undergoing diffusive outgassing, vesiculation, and sintering.
Water surface elevation data was collected at 10 sites in Louisiana's Wax Lake Delta during a one-week campaign in October 2016. Measurements were recorded every five minutes using in-situ pressure transducers, achieving millimeter accuracy for relative changes. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration produced this dataset to calibrate and validate remote sensing observations and hydrodynamic models for the Pre-Delta-X campaign.
Australian Ocean Data Network provides a dataset on the hydrogeology of Niue Island, a raised coral atoll in the South Pacific Ocean with an area of 259 km². The data includes results from drilling, gravity and magnetic surveys, and electrical resistivity depth probes, describing the island's limestone structure and freshwater layer configuration. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06 04.
Three gridded binary image files map daily evapotranspiration for the Okavango Delta region in Botswana during September 2001. The data were generated by NASA using the ESTA model, which integrates MODIS satellite reflectance data with meteorological observations from the Maun flux tower. This physically-based model simulates surface energy and water balances for a heterogeneous savanna landscape.
From 22 October 1978 to 16 April 1984, this dataset contains gridded Level 1 radiance and temperature profile data from the Nimbus-7 SAMS instrument. It provides daily radiances on a 2.5° latitude by 10° longitude grid and temperature profiles at specific pressure levels, designed to derive concentrations of gases like CO2, H2O, CO, NO, N2O, and CH4. The data is stored across 53 CD-ROMs in ASCII files of hexadecimal characters, originally created by Oxford University's AOPP group.
Geoscience Australia's 2014–15 seismic survey (GA-349) reassessed the tectonic evolution and petroleum prospectivity of the northern Houtman Sub-basin offshore Western Australia. Interpretation enabled mapping of the Moho, basement, and major depositional sequences, creating a 3D geological model covering the survey area. This study significantly reduced exploration risk in this frontier region.
Approximately 6000 km of 2D seismic data were acquired in the Capel and Faust basins east of Brisbane between December 2006 and January 2007. The survey, conducted by Geoscience Australia and the RV Tangaroa, also collected gravity, magnetic, multibeam sonar, and sub-bottom profiler data alongside seafloor samples. These datasets are designed to define the region's petroleum prospectivity and inform marine environmental planning.
Geoscience Australia provides an updated collection of navigation data for marine seismic surveys conducted in Australian waters. The data includes original navigation files, 2003 SNIP navigation files, and digitised survey track maps, cleansed and made available in KML and Shapefile formats. Users should note the data is not final and may contain errors, as the update process is ongoing.
