Bathymetry of Bremer Marine Park at 100-Meter Resolution

Geoscience Australia compiled this multibeam sonar bathymetry data for Bremer Marine Park, gridded to a 100-meter spatial resolution. The dataset covers the Bremer Canyon and adjacent smaller canyons incising the continental slope and outer shelf. This research was supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor terrain based on the 100-meter resolution bathymetry grid.
• Analyzing canyon geomorphology based on the described coverage of Bremer Canyon and adjacent features.
• Supporting marine park management planning based on the data's stated purpose for Parks Australia.

Strengths

• Data is gridded to a specific 100-meter spatial resolution.
• Covers a defined geographic area: Bremer Marine Park, including Bremer Canyon.
• Compiled by a national geological survey (Geoscience Australia) for official management purposes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
