Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction in the Timor Sea, A0 Map with Bathymetry

One of 27 maps in 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, treaties, and various maritime zones. Background imagery combines 2009 9 arc second bathymetric/topographic data and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell.

Use Cases

• Analyze maritime boundaries and treaties based on depicted jurisdiction zones.
• Study continental shelf extents based on the 2008 CLCS approval.
• Incorporate bathymetric background for oceanographic or geological modeling based on the described GA and Smith & Sandwell grids.

Strengths

• Part of a defined 27-map series (GeoCat 71789), providing context.
• Background bathymetry derived from specific sources: 2009 9 arc second grid and Smith and Sandwell, 1997.
• Depicts legally defined features including a continental shelf approved in April 2008.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to data_gov_au.
