Macreadie Seagrass Bathymetry Survey from Deakin University, 2015

A 2015 bathymetry survey of Macreadie Seagrass, conducted by Deakin University Marine over two days in December 2015. Data was acquired onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla using a Kongsberg EM2040c system. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor topography based on bathymetric survey data
• Analyzing seagrass habitat extent and depth distribution
• Calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ bathymetry measurements

Strengths

• Data collection uses a specific, professional-grade instrument (Kongsberg EM2040c)
• Survey has a precise two-day temporal window (09/12/2015-10/12/2015)

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
