Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map for Tasmania, Lambert Projection

One of 27 constituent maps from the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' (GeoCat 71789). The map depicts Australia's extended continental shelf, approved by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in April 2008, and various maritime zones around Tasmania. Background bathymetry is derived from a 2009 9 arc second grid by Geoscience Australia and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell, with land imagery from NASA's Blue Marble.

Use Cases

• Analyze maritime boundaries and jurisdiction based on the depicted extended continental shelf and maritime zones.
• Study ocean floor topography based on the background bathymetric imagery derived from combined grids.
• Create reference maps for legal or environmental assessments based on the official continental shelf limits approved in 2008.

Strengths

• Part of a defined series of 27 constituent maps (GeoCat 71789).
• Based on official continental shelf limits approved by an international commission in April 2008.
• Background bathymetry combines data from a 2009 9 arc second grid and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is provided as a static PDF/A0 map, limiting direct computational analysis.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative tasks.
