RV Investigator Voyage IN2014_E03 Plankton Data

This record describes Zooplankton and Phytoplankton data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator Event voyage IN2014_E03. This is the first trial voyage for the RV Investigator departing Hobart on the 11th November and returning to Hobart on the 17th November 2014. The samples will be collected using Bongo, EZ, N70 vertical haul and neuston nets with the Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT) net as a back up for the EZ net. The samples collected will be preserved and later processed by Kerrie Swadling and students from the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and archived at UTAS. Processed data will be archived by UTAS and distributed via AODN.

Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 02/2007 Biodiversity Survey for SE MPA's including the Tasmanian Sea Mounts Marine Reserve

The scientific objectives for the survey were split across two voyages (SS11/2006 for leg 1 and SS02/2007 for leg 2). They were to: 
(1) use advanced sampling tools and techniques that are, to the extent possible, non destructive 
(2) collect precisely georeferenced baseline data at scientific reference sites to enable indicators to be quantified (e.g. biodiversity metrics and levels of fishing effort at each site). 
These data will be documented and available for use for targeted monitoring during subsequent surveys 
(1) provide results that can assess the achievement of the TSMR management plan to date (revisit four seamounts photographed in 1997 - Main Pedra, Sister 1, K1 and D1; look for changes in fished and unfished sites) and refine baseline data 
(2) enable future assessment against performance objectives for the TSMR and selected proposed Commonwealth MPAs - Huon, Tasman Fracture and possibly South Tasman Rise and Freycinet depending on the time available at sea 
(3) test efficiency of the various biodiversity metrics to determine effectiveness, cost and potential for monitoring other deepwater reserves 
(4) provide samples for key taxa that can be used in subsequent genetic research to refine definition and extent of endemicity in deepwater fauna 
(5) complete swath mapping of relevant parts of continental slope between Hobart and SW Cape. This metadata record refers to the biological samples collected during this survey.
This record describes the biological catch data collected during the survey. Invertebrate specimens were photographed and lodged with Australian Museums for identification, focused on sponges, corals, echinoderms, crustaceans, molluscs and ascidians. To date (Dec. 2016) we are aware of 15 taxonomic revisions or descriptions that have been published using material from this collection.

RV Investigator Ultrafine Aerosol Volatility and Hygroscopicity (VH-TDMA) - Selected Voyages (2016 onwards)

The VHTDMA was constructed at QUT for measurement of ultrafine aerosol volatility and hygroscopicity. It uses electrostatic classifiers to select particles of a particular electrical mobility diameter, conditions them (using a thermodenuder and humidifier) and re-measures the particle diameter. The VH-TDMA is made up of three purpose built electrostatic classifiers and two condensation particle counters (CPCs). One TSI 3010 CPC and one TSI 3787 CPC.
The pre-classifier (used to select particles of a particular dry diameter) most commonly cycled between measuring 40, 100 and 150 nm diameter particles during IN2016_v02. For short periods other particle diameters were selected (20, 30, 60,80 nm), to examine features in the ambient size distribution. The thermodenuder was set to 250 °C for the majority of IN2016_v02, with short periods at other temperatures (150°C, 200°C). The relative humidity of the H-SMPS was set to 90% RH for most of the voyage, however it was periodically lowered for size calibration scans and to measure the deliquescence RH for ambient particles. The sample was passed through a nafion drier and inlet RH logged to ensure that dry particle diameter was selected i.e. RH &lt; 30%, the efflouresence RH for common marine salts.

Bathymetry grid of the Friars islets, south of Bruny Island survey area

Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in southeast Tasmania in 2008 and 2009 (GA0315) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through observation of habitats using underwater towed video. Data was acquired using the Tasmania Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI) Research Vessel Challenger. Bathymetric mapping was undertaken in seven survey areas, including: Freycinet Pensinula (83 sq km, east coast and shelf); Tasman Peninsula (117 sq km, east coast and shelf); Port Arthur and adjacent open coast (17 sq km); The Friars (41 sq km, south of Bruny Island); lower Huon River estuary (39 sq km); D Entrecastreaux Channel (7 sq km, at Tinderbox north of Bruny Island), and; Maria Island (3 sq km, western side). Video characterisations of the seabed concentrated on areas of bedrock reef and adjacent seabed in all mapped areas, except for D Entrecastreaux Channel and Maria Island. friars_1 is an ArcINFO grid of the Friars islets, south of Bruny Island survey area produced from the processed EM3002 bathymetry data using the CARIS HIPS and SIPS software.

GEOMACS (Geological and Oceanographic Model of Australias Continental Shelf) Geometric mean

Geoscience Australias GEOMACS model was utilised to produce hindcast hourly time series of continental shelf (~20 to 300 m depth) bed shear stress (unit of measure: Pascal, Pa) on a 0.1 degree grid covering the period March 1997 to February 2008 (inclusive). The hindcast data represents the combined contribution to the bed shear stress by waves, tides, wind and density-driven circulation. The geometric mean was calculated using the formula: Mg=(ti)1/n where n is the total number of model observations of the bed shear stress t . The geometric mean was used alongside the trimmed mean to provide a more robust representation of the bulk of the values than the arithmetic mean would have provided (Hughes and Harris 2008). This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub and is hosted temporarily by CMAR on behalf of Geoscience Australia.

REM Etive Voyage RE2017_C01 Operation and Sampling Detail Logs and Locations

This record describes the operations undertaken and geological sample data collected on the Fugro vessel REM Etive Charter Voyage RE2017_C01, titled "Great Australian Bight (GAB) Deep Water Geological and Benthic Ecology Program." This charter voyage took place from Hobart to Adelaide between the 13th of March and the 6th of April, 2017.
The voyage, undertaken over 25 days, was a great success with 33 researchers from several research organisations and the vessel crew undertaking 40 operations over 5 target areas in water depths ranging from 1000 m to 3000 m. The voyage deployed a diverse range of instrumentation fully utilising the REM Etive capabilities which included two work class Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and a Sea Floor Drill. This also involved the deployment of these equipment types significantly deeper than previous deployments either in Australia or worldwide. The data and samples collected significantly augment the sparse data and sample collections within the deep water GAB to date.
Over 54 pieces of rock were individually collected by the ROVs, plus 162.98m of core drilled.  This record contains data recorded during the survey including the activity log, observation log, operation log, a log of general photographs taken, descriptions of geology collected, biology catch locations, details of samples taken for analysis and the daily "Trip" details which defined the daily reporting periods.
The Seafloor Drill  80mm diameter  X 1m long Core sections were split and sampled for geochemical analysis. Remainders of the cores have been archived. Sampled half of the core at room temperature at the Perth Core Library, 37 Harris Street, Carlisle, WA 6101 phone +61 8 9470 0305.
