AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Beetaloo basin GDE


## **Abstract** 
The dataset was compiled by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from multiple sources referenced within the dataset and/or metadata. The data is a subset of wetlands with known or moderate to high probability of being groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) as listed in the GDE Atlas (Bureau of Meteorology, 2017)


## **Attribution** 
Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program


## **History** 
This dataset was created by clipping the parent dataset (National Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDE) Atlas) in ESRI ArcGIS software to the area immediately surrounding the Beetaloo GBA region.  The resulting data contains wetlands with known or moderate to high probability of being groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) as listed in the GDE Atlas.

East 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 all 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.

eAtlas Web Mapping Service (WMS) - Legacy MTSRF Server (AIMS)

The eAtlas delivers its mapping products via two Web Mapping Services, a legacy server (from 2008-2011) and a newer primary server (2011+) to which all new content it added. This record describes the legacy WMS.

This service delivers map layers associated with the eAtlas project (http://eatlas.org.au), which contains map layers of environmental research focusing on the Great Barrier Reef. The majority of the layers corresponding to Glenn De'ath's interpolated maps of the GBR developed under the MTSRF program (2008-2010).

This web map service is predominantly maintained for the legacy eAtlas map viewer (http://maps.eatlas.org.au/geoserver/www/map.html). All the these legacy map layers are available through the new eAtlas mapping portal (http://maps.eatlas.org.au), however the legends have not been ported across.

This WMS is implemented using GeoServer version 1.7 software hosted on a server at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. 

For ArcMap use the following steps to add this service:
1. "Add Data" then choose GIS Servers from the "Look in" drop down. 
2. Click "Add WMS Server" then set the URL to "http://maps.eatlas.org.au/geoserver/wms?"

Note: this service has around 460 layers of which approximately half the layers correspond to Standard Error maps, which are WRONG (please ignore all *Std_Error layers.

This services is operated by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and co-funded by the MTSRF program.

Ecological effects of introduced sessile marine invertebrates.

Manipulative field experiments were used to investigate the effects of the ascidians Botryllus schlosseri and Ascidiella aspersa and the bryozoan Bugula neritina on sessile invertebrate assemblages. Experiments were conducted on perspex plates suspended from Workshops Jetty, Williamstown, Victoria. All 3 introduced species affected the abundance of sessile marine invertebrates, but the effects were varied and not always negative or concentrated on native species. B. neritina increased the abundance of native species, A. aspersa increased the abundance of introduced species and B. schlosseri decreased the abundance of both native and introduced species. This research shows that effects of some introduced species are highly variable and do not conform to typical ideas that exist for introduced species.

Economic policy, institutions and fisheries development in the Pacific: WORKING PAPER

This record describes, and links to a working paper produced through the Resource Management in Asia-Pacific (RMAP) Program based at The Australian National University in Canberra. 
*****
The South Pacific is home to the world's largest and most valuable tuna fishery. Despite this, the Pacific island countries have found it tremendously difficult to capture significant economic rents from the resource. It is argued in this paper that poor economic policy partly explains this. However, poor policies are preventing the implementation of strong, cost-effective institutions for the governance of the fishery which, coupled with strong institutions for broad social and economic governance, are required for development of the industry. Opportunities for policy reform that is likely to lead to significant gains from the fishery are highlighted.

Economics of Australian Soil Conditions 1996/97 – Factor Most Limiting Yield (acidity/sodicity/salinity)

    

Factor Most Limiting Yield (acidity/sodicity/salinity) dataset is one of 11
national surfaces, represented by ~1km grids, relating to economic
opportunities associated with soil condition. All dollar values are given in
1996/97 Australian dollars. There are three sub-types of data in this dataset:
relative yields, gross benefits and impact costs. Each is described as
follows:1. Relative yield (RY): This is the yield of the crop or pasture,
relative to its full potential expressed as a percentage. It is equal to
actual yield divided by potential yield. The relative yield surfaces, measured
as a ratio (0 to 1) and represented with a 1km grid, include: * ry_salt2000;
ry_salt2020: The relative yield of salinity in the year 2000 and 2020*
ry_Acid; ry_Esp: The relative yield from soil acidity and soil sodicity*
ry_min: The limiting factor relative yield a minimum of ry_salt2000, ry_acid,
ry_esp and ry_min.* lim_fact:Factor most limiting yield a of acidity, sodicity
and salinity 2. Gross benefit (GB): The gross benefit is the additional profit
at full equity attainable through agricultural production if the yield-
limiting factor of salinity, acidity or sodicity were repaired without cost.
As such it can be considered an approximate investment ceiling on treating the
soil. The gross benefit grids are measured in $/ha/yr and include:* gb97a;
gb97e; gb97s a for soil acidity; sodicity; salinity* gb97m a the combined
limiting factor gross benefit. 3. Impact cost (ic97s): This is the decline in
agricultural profit at full equity due to worsening dryland salinity severity
and extent over the time period 2000 to 2020. It is measured in $/ha/yr. It is
determined only through changes in crop yield as a consequence of changes in
dryland salinity. Impact cost can be considered the loss in profit at full
equity due to worsening salinity over the 20yr time period. Keywords:
Economics, Natural Resources, Australia, Salinity, Sodicity, Acidity, Soil
TreatmentData is in albers and unprojected, using WGS84 and GDA94.

EEO Opportunities Register

This resource is a register of ‘significant opportunities’ identified by corporations as part of the Australian Government’s Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) program (now closed). The register provides energy efficiency ideas that may be useful for other organisations looking to improve their energy productivity.

Corporations participating in the EEO program were required to publish annual reports outlining their progress, including information on the energy efficiency opportunities they had identified.

The register includes the opportunities corporations reported for the financial years 2010–11, 2011–12 and 2012–131. All of the information provided in this register has been taken directly from the corresponding corporation’s EEO public report.
