Coastal Geoscience Survey of Cape York Peninsula for Land Use Strategy

The NR14 project compiled coastal geoscientific information for developing a land use strategy for Cape York Peninsula. It provides a methodology statement, data analysis results, and completed coastal geoscience GIS coverages. The project was undertaken by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-10.

Use Cases

• Modeling coastal erosion and instability based on identified areas of significant instability.
• Analyzing Holocene coastal evolution based on the project's temporal analysis of the coastal zone.
• Assessing sediment transport and deposition based on documented character of sedimentary deposits.
• Planning sustainable coastal development based on the consideration of relevant land use issues.

Strengths

• Project synthesizes multiple aspects of coastal evolution, including oceanographic processes and Holocene analysis.
• Output includes Geographic Information System (GIS) coverages for spatial analysis.
• Report provides a documented methodology for transparency.

Limitations

• Data is provided as PDF and HTML reports; underlying raw data or GIS files may not be directly accessible.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, limiting pre-download assessment.
• The dataset's scale and specific row count are unknown.
