Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map for the Timor Sea 2014

June 2014 map depicts Australia's continental shelf and maritime jurisdiction in the Timor Sea. It is one of 27 constituent maps in the national jurisdiction series, featuring bathymetric and topographic background imagery.

Use Cases

• Analyze Australia's continental shelf boundaries in the Timor Sea as proclaimed under the 2012 Seas and Submerged Lands Proclamation.
• Compare bathymetric data derived from the 2009 9 arc second grid and Smith and Sandwell, 1997 grid for marine geography studies.
• Integrate this A0-sized PDF map as a layer within the 27-map 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' (GeoCat 71789) for regional analysis.

Strengths

• Officially updated in June 2014 to conform with the authoritative 'Australian Maritime Boundaries 2014' dataset.
• Part of a standardized national series comprising 27 constituent maps for consistent jurisdictional coverage.
• Background incorporates combined bathymetric and topographic imagery from Geoscience Australia and NASA's Blue Marble.

Limitations

• Data is static as of 2014 and may not reflect subsequent maritime boundary treaties or legal changes.
• Available only as a PDF or HTML map, lacking machine-readable vector data or attribute tables for computational analysis.
• Spatial analysis is constrained to the specific region of the Timor Sea.
