MH370 Search Area Bathymetry Visualizations and Story Maps

Geoscience Australia provides a collection of multimedia products visualizing sea floor terrain from the MH370 search area. The collection includes video flythroughs, images, and public communications developed from a sample of Phase 1 bathymetric data. It also contains translated versions of the associated ESRIOnline Story Map into Malay and Chinese.

Use Cases

• Communicating complex sea floor terrain to the public based on video flythroughs and data visualizations
• Supporting multilingual outreach for maritime incidents based on translated Story Map content
• Providing visual context for bathymetric data analysis based on images and videos of the search area

Strengths

• Includes multimedia formats (videos and images) for data communication
• Contains multilingual public communications (Malay and Chinese translations)
• Data visualizations are derived from actual Phase 1 bathymetric survey data

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
