GA-0352: High-Resolution Bathymetry Grids from Gippsland Basin Marine Survey

Gippsland Basin bathymetry data was collected by Geoscience Australia from April 5th to 24th, 2015. The survey acquired industry-standard precompetitive 2D seismic, Multi-beam echo-sounder, and sub-bottom profiling data to assess CO2 storage potential. Data is available for free download from the Geoscience Australia website.

Use Cases

• Assessing CO2 storage reservoir potential based on bathymetry and seismic data.
• Identifying indicators of natural hydrocarbon seepage to evaluate seal integrity.
• Conducting sequence stratigraphic studies to constrain suitable areas for CO2 storage.
• Mapping seafloor topography using high-resolution Multi-beam echo-sounder data.

Strengths

• Data collected over a defined 20-day period in April 2015.
• Includes industry-standard precompetitive 2D seismic, MBES, and SBP data.
• Acquired by a named survey vessel (MV Duke) for a specific government program (NCIP).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
