Australia's Maritime Jurisdiction off the central portion of the Australian Antarctic Territory is depicted in this map. 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 and various maritime zones. The map includes a background bathymetric image derived from a grid by Smith and Sandwell, 1997, and land imagery from NASA's Blue Marble.

Use Cases

• Visualize maritime zones based on the depicted continental shelf and jurisdictional boundaries.
• Analyze bathymetric data based on the background image derived from Smith and Sandwell, 1997.
• Study the extent of Australia's Antarctic territorial claims based on the map's geographic focus.
• Compare maritime jurisdictions using this map as part of the 27-map series.
• Integrate geospatial background layers based on the NASA Blue Marble land imagery.

Strengths
