Collated data from over 200 benchmark monitoring stations across Australia, from Westernport Bay, Victoria to Darwin Harbour, NT, as of 2022. The Australian Ocean Data Network consolidated Surface Elevation Table (SET) measurements to assess vertical adjustment of tidal wetlands to sea-level rise. This data enables measurement of whether wetlands are keeping pace with or subsiding relative to local sea-level rise.
Use Cases
- Assess wetland resilience to sea-level rise based on vertical accretion and subsidence measurements.
- Analyze rates of elevation gain across diverse coastal settings mentioned in the description.
- Compare wetland elevation changes against local sea-level rise measured at tide gauges.
- Identify wetlands vulnerable to permanent inundation and loss based on subsidence trends.
Strengths
- Over 200 benchmark monitoring stations provide a wide spatial coverage.
- The Australian network is described as one of the most extensive SET networks in the world.
- Data is consolidated from a national monitoring program (OzSET).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
