Macreadie Seagrass Bathymetry Survey from 2015

Deakin University Marine collected this bathymetry survey over two days in December 2015. The data was acquired onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla using a Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system. It is hosted by Geoscience Australia Data.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor topography based on bathymetry survey data.
• Analyzing seagrass habitat distribution relative to water depth.
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ bathymetric measurements.

Strengths

• Data collection is precisely dated to December 9-10, 2015.
• Survey equipment is specified as a Kongsberg EM2040c multibeam sonar.

Limitations

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