Browse Basin Underwater Video and Images for CO2 Storage Assessment

May 2013 marine survey data collected by Geoscience Australia from the Leveque Shelf, Browse Basin. The dataset includes underwater video footage from 49 stations and associated still images to assess seabed gas seepage and habitat for CO2 storage potential. Survey SOL5754/GA0340 was conducted under the National CO2 Infrastructure Plan.

Use Cases

• Identify seabed gas or fluid seepage features based on underwater video footage.
• Map seabed habitats and biota associated with potential seepage sites based on still images.
• Correlate seabed features with underlying geological structures based on navigational USBL data.
• Assess the integrity of potential CO2 storage seals based on seabed and shallow geological observations.

Strengths

• Video and image data collected from 49 distinct stations.
• Includes continuous navigational data (USBL) for each video transect with time, location, and depth.

Limitations

• Video quality varies between sites.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific survey area on the Northwest Shelf.
