Macreadie Seagrass Bathymetry Survey from 2015

Bathymetry survey data acquired by Deakin University Marine over two days in December 2015. The survey was conducted onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla using a Kongsberg EM2040c instrument. The data is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling underwater topography based on bathymetry survey data
• Analyzing seagrass habitat distribution relative to depth
• Studying coastal sediment transport patterns based on seabed elevation
• Assessing marine survey methodologies using Kongsberg EM2040c data
• Monitoring changes in coastal bathymetry over time

Strengths

• Survey conducted over two consecutive days (09/12/2015-10/12/2015), providing a focused temporal snapshot
• Data acquired using a specific, high-resolution instrument (Kongsberg EM2040c)
• Dataset is hosted by an authoritative ocean data network (Australian Ocean Data Network)

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
