FK150301 Henderson Perth Canyon to Henderson Bathymetry 2015 (4441/20150012S)

The FK150301 bathymetry Survey/Acquisition was acquired by University of Western Australia onboard the Research Vessel Falkor during the period 1st of March 2015 to 12th March 2015 using the Sensor/Instrument Kongsberg EM302 (30 kHz), EM710 (30 kHz) 

A primary goal for the mission was to run ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) surveys at various depths to assess what animals might be found, their abundance, and the best sites for more focused research. The researchers expected to find a range of species including corals, sponges, sea fans, sea pens, urchins, sea stars, and large fish including sharks. While researchers had ideas of what they would see, having never actually explored the canyon there was no telling what they might find. Species new to science are always a possibility, especially during deeper dives.

Roach and Bindoff Global Temperature, Salinity and Oxygen Atlas (Shipboard Data 1955-2018) V1.0

This atlas uses all of the available full water column profiles of oxygen, salinity and temperature available as part of the World Ocean Atlas released in 2018. Instead of optimal interpolation we use the Data Interpolating Variational  Analysis (DIVA) approach to map the available profiles onto 108 depth levels between the surface and 6800 m, covering more than 99% of ocean volume. This 1/2° x 1/2° degree  atlas covers the period 1955 to 2018 in 1 year intervals. The DIVA method has significant benefits over traditional optimal interpolation. It allows the explicit inclusion of advection and boundary constraints thus offering improvements in the representations of oxygen, salinity and temperature in regions of strong flow and near coastal boundaries. We demonstrate these benefits of this mapping approach with some examples from this atlas. We can explore the regional and temporal variations of oxygen in the global oceans. Preliminary analyses confirm earlier analyses that the oxygen minimum zone in the eastern Pacific Ocean has expanded and intensified. Oxygen inventory changes between 1970 and 2010 are assessed and compared against prior studies. We find that the full ocean oxygen inventory decreased by 0.84% ± 0.42%. For this period temperature driven solubility changes explain about 21% of the oxygen decline over the full water column, in the upper 100 m solubility changes can explain all of the oxygen decrease, for the 100-600 m depth range it can explain only 29%, 19% between 600 m and 1000 m, and just 11% in the deep ocean.

Habitat modelling of 'functional reef' and broad-scale ecosystem components for temperate Australian waters (NESP MaC 2.1)

This record describes the outputs of two different modelling exercises that were used to characterise the seafloor habitats for temperate Australian waters. The modelled area includes all shelf waters (&lt;250m depth) in southern Australia south of the Tropic of Capricorn. Bioregional benthic habitat maps were constructed using (1) the Geoscience Australia 250m 2023 grid (Beaman 2023); (2) ground-truthing observations derived from horizontally facing imagery from stereo-BRUV and BOSS camera systems; and (3) several physical datasets as covariates in model development (all oceanographic variables smoothed to 250m resolution). Source data is available from Geoscience Australia's eCat: https://doi.org/10.26186/148758 (bathymetry), Squidle+:  (benthic imagery annotations), and (3) AODN Portal: https://portal.aodn.org.au/search (IMOS oceanographic datasets).

The specific subset of benthic observations used in this modelling exercise is available from https://github.com/UWA-Marine-Ecology-Group-projects/nesp-2.1/blob/main/data/tidy/NESP-2.1_broad-habitat.csv. See the NESP Mac Project 2.1 final report for a description of the sampling design for ground-truthing observations and annotation technique.

-----Functional Reef model (binomial)-----
This model discriminates ‘functional reef’ from sediment (non-reef) ecosystem types. Functional reef is defined by this project as “any seabed area functioning as a reef, which may include dense beds of sessile invertebrates or molluscs”. This term was chosen because much of the continental shelf is dominated by sediment yet is stable enough to support emergent sessile biota that provide structure and resources for “reef-affiliated” species. The modelling approach uses a Bayesian representation of a Binomial generalised linear model. For ground-truthing benthic annotations, the following benthic categories were collapsed into the ‘functional reef’ classification: sessile invertebrates, bare rocky reef (consolidated), macroalgae, Amphibolis spp. and Thalassodendron spp. All other benthic classifications were assigned to the ‘non-reef’ category.

-----Ecosystem Component model (multinomial)-----
This model discriminates between five broad habitat types (hereafter ‘ecosystem components’): seagrass, macroalgae, sessile invertebrates, bare consolidated substrata, bare unconsolidated substrata. The modelling approach uses a Bayesian implementation of a Multinomial generalised linear model. For ground-truthing benthic annotations, benthic annotations for mobile species (e.g. echinodermata) were discarded. All remaining annotations were collapsed into the five broad ecosystem components.

The influence of a flood plume associated with Cyclone Joy on larval fish assemblages in the central Great Barrier Reef

Between the 19th and 25th January 1991, ichthyoplankton were collected using a plankton net within and adjacent to the flood plume resulting from rainfall associated with Cyclone Joy.Sampling was conducted during daylight to enable location of the plume front. Three replicate tows were made on each of five occasions within three locations (on and parallel to the plume front, 3km within the plume and outside the plume front).Larval fish were removed from samples and identified to family level under a dissecting microscope.
 Sampling was undertaken to investigate the influence on larval fish assemblages of a transient plume resulting from freshwater runoff associated with cyclonic rains.
 Cyclone Joy crossed the Queensland coast on 26th December 1990 near Townsville, where it degenerated into a tropical depression.Sampling was conducted along the transect described in the metadata record "Zooplankton community structure and copepod egg production in coastal waters of the central Great Barrier Reef", which refers to data described in the papers:Thorrold SR and McKinnon AD (1992) Biological significance of the coastal boundary layer off Townsville, North Queensland. pp. 104-109.

MODIS Aqua Chla

This resource is daily means of Chla measured by the Aqua satelite which represents phytoplanton in the water for the periods 2018-2023 and 2022-2023.

The Aqua satellite platform carries a MODIS sensor that observes sunlight reflected from within the ocean surface layer at multiple wavelengths. These multi-spectral measurements are used to infer the concentration of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), most typically due to phytoplankton, present in the water. There are multiple retrieval algorithms for estimating Chl-a. These data use the OCI method (Hu et al 2012, doi: 10.1029/2011jc007395) recommended by the NASA Ocean Biology Processing Group and implemented in the SeaDAS processing software l2gen. The OCI algorithm is described at https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/atbd/chlor_a/ (and links therein).

NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Theme 1 - Tasman Fracture Commonwealth Marine Reserve Pilot Study - Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Component

The Tasman Fracture CMR AUV survey was a pilot study undertaken in 2014/15 as part of the National Marine Biodiversity Hub's National monitoring, evaluation and reporting theme. The aim of this theme is to develop a bluepint for the sustained monitoring of the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network. The particular aim of the survey was to contribute to an inventory of the distribution and cover of epibenthic biota in the reserve using IMOS AUV 'Sirius'. 

Data contained here represents a scored subset of the ~ 18,400 images collected at the Tasman Fracture CMR. Images were scored for proportion cover of visible macrobiota using 25 random points superimposed on each image. Taxon were biologically classified using UTAS morphospecies classification scheme, which can be mapped back to CATAMI (http://catami.org/).

SSCN-SEGMENT-2-E Beagle Marine Park - Shallow Waters Bathymetry 2024 (20240002S)

This dataset is part of a broader survey carried out by EGS Survey Pty Ltd onboard the survey vessel RV Bold Explorer (RV BE) during the SUBCO Subsea Cable Network (SSCN) cable route survey.
The area is confined to the data within the Beagle Marine Park and was acquired between 7th March 2024 and the 4th April 2024.

The SSCN comprises a trunk route between Perth (Western Australia) and Sydney (New South Wales) with branches to Garden Island (Western Australia), Adelaide (South Australia), and Torquay (Victoria).
EGS Australia was contracted by OMS to supply hydrographic, geophysical, and geotechnical survey services, to provide data for engineering, construction, and subsequent maintenance of the SSCN Segment 2-E. The primary purpose of the survey is to determine a viable and secure route for the cable system that is clear of excessive slopes (&gt;6°), sea floor conditions that will adversely affect ploughing and burial of the cable, and obstacles such as rock outcrops, cable spans, existing cables, pipelines, shipwrecks, etc. This enables exact cable lengths, cable design and installation parameters to be defined to minimise problems over the designated life of the system.
