Description
Data collected in 2017 using an Edgetech 2000-DSS Combined Side Scan Sonar and Sub Bottom Profiler, owned by the Oceans & Atmosphere GSM team. The dataset is part of a project to inform measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in coastal waters. It was aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on the platform in April 2026.
Use Cases
Characterizing sub-seafloor geology for CCS site assessment based on sub-bottom profiler data.
Analyzing side-scan sonar imagery for seabed morphology and feature identification.
Developing cost-efficient measurement, monitoring, and verification (MMV) protocols for offshore CCS projects.
Calibrating acoustic imaging models using the described instrument settings (2-8kHz, 20ms).
Strengths
Data is associated with a specific research vessel and mission (MV Bluefin 2017).
Instrument specifications are detailed, including make, model, and operational frequencies (e.g., 2-16 kHz sub-bottom sonar).
Platform metadata indicates a recent update timestamp (2026-04-28).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count, file formats, and sample data are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the specific 2017 survey.
