A flythrough video visualizes the bathymetry and benthic habitats of the Carnarvon shelf near Point Cloates. The bathymetric image is derived from multibeam sonar data collected in 2008 using a 300 kHz Simrad EM3002 system on RV Solander. Survey work was carried out as a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
Use Cases
- Visualizing seabed geomorphology based on bathymetric imagery
- Studying benthic habitat distribution based on ridges and mounds
