Hay Point to Hydrographers Passage Bathymetry Survey, 2022

Geoscience Australia Data provides a bathymetric survey of the seafloor from Hay Point to Hydrographers Passage, Queensland. The data was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office using Kongsberg EM2040 systems between August and November 2022. It is processed into a 30-meter resolution GeoTIFF grid.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor topography based on the 30-meter resolution bathymetry grid.
• Analyzing coastal and marine geomorphology for the specified Queensland survey area.
• Supporting marine spatial planning and environmental studies with processed depth data.

Strengths

• Data was acquired using specific, high-resolution multibeam sonar systems (Kongsberg EM2040D and EM2040C).
• The survey has a defined temporal scope from 13 August to 09 November 2022.
• Processed output is a georeferenced 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF at 30-meter resolution.

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.
