Bathymetry of Bremer Marine Park at 100m Resolution

Bremer Marine Park in Australia's South-west Marine Park Network contains a compilation of multibeam sonar bathymetry data gridded to 100-meter spatial resolution. The dataset, compiled by Geoscience Australia, 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 topography based on the 100-meter resolution bathymetry grid.
• Analyzing canyon geomorphology based on the coverage of Bremer Canyon and adjacent features.
• Supporting marine habitat mapping based on the bathymetric data compiled for park management.
• Integrating environmental datasets for marine spatial planning based on the data's role in the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub project.

Strengths

• Data is gridded to a defined 100-meter spatial resolution.
• Covers a specific, named geographic feature (Bremer Canyon and adjacent canyons).
• Compiled by a national geological survey (Geoscience Australia) as part of a formal science program (NESP).

Limitations

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