Popes Eye Bathymetry Survey of Victorian Marine Parks, 2018

Two days of bathymetric data were collected by Deakin University Marine Mapping lab aboard the Motor Vessel Yolla on January 20-21, 2018. The survey used a Kongsberg EM2040c instrument as part of a Parks Victoria project to map marine parks in Victorian state waters. Data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Create high-resolution seabed elevation models based on the bathymetry survey.
• Analyze underwater habitat features for marine park management based on the mapping project.
• Support coastal engineering and sediment transport studies based on detailed seafloor depth data.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over two specific days (20/01/2018-21/01/2018) using a Kongsberg EM2040c instrument.
• Data collected as part of a systematic project to map all marine parks within Victorian state waters.

Limitations

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