Australian Marine Margin Bathymetry Flythrough

A 2012 multimedia flythrough visualizes gridded bathymetry data for key features of the Australian marine margin. The product covers the Exmouth Plateau, Perth Canyon, Murray Canyons, NSW Slope, and Great Barrier Reef, sourced from Geoscience Australia and James Cook University.

Use Cases

• Analyze geomorphological features like the Perth Canyon and Murray Canyons for marine geology studies.
• Use the gridded bathymetry data for coastal and shelf habitat mapping.
• Visualize the seafloor topography of the Exmouth Plateau and Great Barrier Reef for educational or presentation purposes.

Strengths

• Data sourced from authoritative organizations Geoscience Australia and James Cook University.
• Covers multiple distinct marine features including the Great Barrier Reef and Murray Canyons.

Limitations

• Primary data format is video (MP4, FLV), not a structured tabular or gridded data file for direct quantitative analysis.
• Excludes coverage of the northern Australian margin, limiting geographic completeness.
• No sample data or column details are provided to assess data structure.
