A geospatial map depicting Australia's maritime jurisdiction off the Australian Antarctic Territory. It is one of 27 constituent maps in the 'Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction Map Series' (GeoCat 71789), showing the extended continental shelf approved in April 2008, treaties, and various maritime zones. The background combines bathymetric data from 2009 and 1997 sources with land imagery from NASA's Blue Marble.
Use Cases
- Visualizing maritime zone boundaries based on the depicted continental shelf, treaties, and zones.
- Analyzing bathymetric features using the combined background grid derived from GA and Smith and Sandwell data.
- Studying jurisdictional claims in the Antarctic region based on the approved continental shelf limits.
- Creating high-resolution print maps for policy or educational purposes based on the 3400mm x 1050mm PDF format.
Strengths
- Part of a standardized series of 27 maritime jurisdiction maps (GeoCat 71789).
- Background bathymetry combines data from a 2009 9 arc second grid and a 1997 grid by Smith and Sandwell.
- Map is available as a high-resolution PDF sized for a 42-inch plotter (3400mm x 1050mm).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
