Coastal Geoscience Survey of Cape York Peninsula

NR14 project synthesizes coastal geoscience for land use strategy development. The report details methodology, data analyses, and GIS coverages for the coastal zone of Cape York Peninsula. It was produced by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Assessing coastal instability based on identified areas of significant instability
• Modeling Holocene coastal evolution based on analysis of Holocene evolution
• Planning sustainable land use based on consideration of issues relevant to sustainable use
• Documenting coastal sedimentary deposits based on documentation of the character of coastal environments

Strengths

• Project synthesizes multiple geoscientific aspects including oceanographic processes and coastal evolution
• Includes completed coastal geoscience GIS coverages

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
