A bathymetry flythrough video of the Perth Canyon Marine Park created from data acquired in 2015. The product highlights geomorphic features like landslides and escarpments mapped by Geoscience Australia, as well as associated biodiversity. It was produced as a science communication output for the National Environmental Science Program's Marine Biodiversity Hub.
Use Cases
- Visualizing submarine canyon geomorphology based on the highlighted landslides and escarpments.
- Communicating marine biodiversity research based on the benthic and pelagic features shown.
- Analyzing seafloor structure for habitat mapping based on the bathymetry data.
- Creating educational content about marine parks based on the science communication product.
Strengths
- Data was acquired by the Schmidt Ocean Institute on RV Falkor, a known research vessel.
- Geomorphic features were mapped by Geoscience Australia, a national scientific agency.
- Produced for the National Environmental Science Program's Marine Biodiversity Hub, indicating a formal research context.
