NSW - CRA/RFA - Forests - Eden - National Estate - Indicative Places of Aboriginal Heritage Significance

The shapefiles displaying indicative places of Aboriginal significance represent the areas of significance to indigenous people in the Eden Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) region.

Several datasets were created from Indigenous community workshops conducted with representatives from the Eden, Bega and Merrimans Local Aboriginal Land Councils [LALC].  Subsequent field survey research was conducted by selected community experts in conjunction with Registered Surveyor of Eden.

These datasets were assessed against the following National Estate sub-criteria:

D2: Importance in demonstrating the principal characteristics of the range of human activities in the Australian environment (including way of life, custom, process, land-use, function, design or technique).

G1: Importance as a place highly valued by a community for reasons of religious, spiritual, symbolic, cultural, educational, or social associations.

NSW - CRA/RFA - Forests - Eden - National Estate - Flora Disjunct Species

Disjunct species are defined as those species whose populations are isolated geographically from each other.

The disjunct species dataset is a shapefile derived from flora point locality data supplied by the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), and developed as part of the assessment of the National Estate for the Eden Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) process.

The flora point locality data was collected using site and herbarium samples.  The species considered disjunct were determined at a series of expert workshops.

This dataset has been assessed against the National Estate sub-criterion A1: Importance in the evolution of Australian flora, fauna, landscapes or climate. The analysis was confined to flora.

NSW - CRA/RFA - Forests - Eden - National Estate - Centres of Endemism

Centres of endemism were defined as places which include a number of endemic species where >50% of its natural distribution is wholly confined to the Eden Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) region, with the remaining populations occurring only in adjacent regions.

The analysis is confined to flora as there is no vertebrate fauna known to be endemic to the Eden region. Invertebrate fauna was not considered.

North West Margin Transects : Cruise Proposal

The North West Margin Transects Cruise is part of a program being undertaken by AGSO to determine the structural architecture of the north-western margin of Australia and the influence of structuring on the location, migration and trapping ofhydrocarbons in the region. An important aspect of this program is the acquisition ofa series of full margin 'dip' transects extending from unrifted cratonic basement tobeyond the continent-ocean boundary, and at least two 'strike' transects that willextend along the full length of the shelf from the eastern Timor Sea to North WestCape. The major objective of the proposed cruise is to extend previous AGSO deepseismic surveys across the Browse (Survey 119), offshore Canning (SNOWS-3/Survey 120) and northern Carnarvon Basins (SNOWS-/Survey 101, SNOWS-2/Survey 110) to complete these margin transects. Specific objectives of theproposed survey are:
*Determine the regional structural framework of the Scott Plateau area and itsrelationship to adjacent features such as the Argo Abyssal Plain, the BrowseBasin and the Rowley Sub-Basin of the offshore Canning Basin;
*Determine the regional structural framework of the Exmouth Plateau and itsrelationship to adjacent features such as the Barrow-Dampier Sub-basin, and theArgo and Gascoyne Abyssal Plains.
*Define the broad deep-crustal structure of the region and develop a modelexplaining the tectonic, subsidence and thermal history of the Scott Plateau andthe Exmouth Plateau in relation to the development of the continental margin andadjacent ocean basins.
*Assess the effects of the deep crustal structures and their reactivation phases onthe development of known petroleum accumulations.

To address these objectives it is proposed that RV Rig Seismic be used to acquireabout 3276 km of deep crustal (16 second record length) multichannel seismic andother geophysical data along 9 transects across the outer margins of the Browse,offshore Canning and northern Carnarvon Basins. The survey will tie into the 1991SNOWS-1 (101), 1992 SNOWS-2 (110), 1993 Browse Basin (119) and SNOWS-3(120) surveys.

North components of averaged hourly winds at Governnor Head Meteorological Station and Huskinsson, Jervis Bay between 10/8/90 and 12/9/90

This dataset is a component of the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project conducted by the Department of Defence, CSIRO and the Australian Defence Force Academy.

The meteorological station at Governor Head (35.133S, 150.762E) and the anemometer in Huskisson (35.0416S, 150.67E) recorded winds between 10th August 1990 and 12th September 1990. The site at Governor head is several hundred metres inland of 50m high cliffs and is 63m above sea-level. The anemometer readings from Huskisson was run by the NSW Public Works Department.

This is one of thirty-six child records that relate to the parent, 629051e0-2b7b-11dd-a343-00188b4c0af8. A pdf outlining the structure and hierarchy of metadata records relating to the 'Jervis Bay Baseline Studies' project is available to download through this record. Meteorological data was collected to investigate wind forced circulation in Jervis Bay, NSW.

New South Wales officers and men of the Australian Imperial Force (A.I.F.) and the Australian Naval Forces : portrait collection, 1919

    

Most of the portraits (chiefly head and shoulders) are of soldiers who
enlisted in 1918. The Trustees of the Mitchell Library undertook to collect
these portraits in May 1918. Relatives of soldiers were asked to forward
photographs to the Crown Studios, Sydney for copying.

NERP TE Project 9.4 Conservation planning for a changing coastal zone (JCU)

The values of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) are threatened by coastal development through habitat loss and runoff of sediment, nutrients and pollutants. Future coastal development is difficult to predict because it depends on volatile socio-economic and political factors. With this in mind, we developed a research project that uses spatially explicit scenario planning to identify plausible futures to 2035 for the GBRWHA coastal zone. The method used to produce maps of these scenarios is land-use change modelling using the GIS Idrisi. A governance analysis for the GBR coast is part of the project and is included in the scenario-planning process. Using a conservation planning approach, this project sets out to identify key priorities for restoring and protecting coastal ecosystems in the GBRWHA coastal zone. The objectives are to:
- Compile spatial data on the coastal ecosystems and socio-economic characteristics of the GBRWHA coastal zone
- Produce spatially explicit land use scenarios for the GBRWHA coastal zone to 2035
- Analyse the governance system in the GBRWHA coastal zone
- Identify conservation goals for the GBRWHA coastal zone
- Assess impacts of development for assets related to the conservation goals
- Bring all the above information together to determine spatial options for allocating protection and restoration actions to achieve goals

NERP TE Project 9.3 Prioritising management actions for Great Barrier Reef islands (JCU)

This project will develop a cost-effective approach for prioritising management actions across Great Barrier Reef islands to maximise conservation outcomes. The approach will be broad-based and include pest control, adjustment of fire regimes, biosecurity measures and monitoring. A decision-support tool with GIS capability will help managers to identify management priorities within and between islands.The sub-region selected for this project includes 150 islands within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area from south of Mackay to Bundaberg.
