A wall map depicts Australia's extended continental shelf approved by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in April 2008. Updated in March 2020 to reflect the 2018 Australia - Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty, it uses a blue Etopo2 seabed background and NASA Blue Marble land imagery. The map is indicative only and should not be used as a definitive source, as some limits may be subject to change.
Use Cases
- Visualize maritime boundaries based on the continental shelf limits approved in 2008
- Analyze changes in jurisdiction following the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste treaty
- Study seabed topography using the Etopo2 background layer
- Compare land imagery from NASA Blue Marble against maritime zones
Strengths
- Includes updates from the 2018 Australia-Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty
- Combines seabed data from Etopo2 with land imagery from NASA Blue Marble
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
- The map is described as indicative only and not a definitive source
- Some limits may be subject to change
