Timor Sea Marine Gravity and Seismic Survey Data from 1965

Marine geophysical survey data from the Timor Sea and Joseph Bonaparte Gulf in north-west Australia, collected in 1965. The dataset likely contains gravity and seismic sparker measurements. It is a legacy product published via the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling seabed geology and bathymetry from gravity anomalies (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Analyzing subsurface sediment layers using seismic reflection profiles (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Historical baseline studies for marine environmental or resource assessments (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published on the data_gov_au platform.
• Associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network organization.
• Has a specific recorded last update timestamp of 2026-06-27 20:46:46.045650.
