Australian Marine Bathymetry Grids for Seafloor Geomorphology

High-resolution bathymetric grids across the Australian marine estate are becoming more accessible. These datasets can inform understanding of seafloor geomorphology to support marine management. The Australian Ocean Data Network distributed a promotional postcard for a working group meeting in October 2018.

Use Cases

• Assess seabed resource potential based on high-resolution bathymetric grids
• Identify marine geohazards based on seafloor geomorphology data
• Support habitat mapping and marine management decisions based on bathymetry

Strengths

• High-resolution bathymetric grids
• Data covers the Australian marine estate

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
