Physico-chemical characteristics of bottom water in Jervis Bay, NSW (June and August 2008 and February 2009)

Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through co-located sampling of surface sediments (for textural and biogeochemical analysis) and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wave-generated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) Research Vessel Kimbla. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and tide/wave measurement were concentrated in a 3x5 km survey grid (named Darling Road Grid, DRG) within the southern part of the Jervis Bay, incorporating the bay entrance. Additional sampling and stills photography plus bathymetric mapping along transits was undertaken at representative habitat types outside the DRG. This 110 sample data-set comprises salinity, dissolved oxygen, water temperature and light attenuation (KD) measurements from Jervis Bay. This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2015_C01 Sample Analysis Results

This record describes the geological sample data collected on the  RV Investigator Charter Voyage IN2015_C01, titled "Great Australian Bight (GAB) Deep Water Geological and Benthic Ecology Program." This charter voyage took place from Hobart to Port Lincoln between the 22nd of October and the 28th of November, 2015.
The voyage, undertaken over 34 days, was a great success with 37 researchers from seven research organisations and the vessel crew undertaking 128 operations over 17 target areas in water depths ranging from 700 m to 5,437 m. The voyage deployed a diverse and large collection of instrumentation fully utilising the Investigator capabilities. This involved the deployment of some of the 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 1.36 tons of rock and 15.2 m of sediment core were collected.  This record contains data from the analysis of geological samples collected.

Backscatter grid of the south block of the Mandu survey area (Carnarvon Shelf)

Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Carnarvon shelf (WA) in 2008 (SOL4769) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through colocated sampling of surface sediments and infauna, observation of benthic habitats using underwater towed video and stills photography, and measurement of ocean tides and wavegenerated currents. Data and samples were acquired using the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) Research Vessel Solander. Bathymetric mapping, sampling and video transects were completed in three survey areas that extended seaward from Ningaloo Reef to the shelf edge, including: Mandu Creek (80 sq km); Point Cloates (281 sq km), and; Gnaraloo (321 sq km). Additional bathymetric mapping (but no sampling or video) was completed between Mandu creek and Point Cloates, covering 277 sq km and north of Mandu Creek, covering 79 sq km. Two oceanographic moorings were deployed in the Point Cloates survey area. The survey also mapped and sampled an area to the northeast of the Muiron Islands covering 52 sq km.. mandu3_3m is an ArcGIS layer of the backscatter grid of the north block of the Mandu survey area produced from the processed EM3002 backscatter data of the survey area using the CMST-GA MB Process This dataset is a contribution to the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub.

GEOMACS (Geological and Oceanographic Model of Australias Continental Shelf) Interquartile range

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. Included in the parameters that will be calculated to represent the magnitude of the bulk of the data are the quartiles of the distribution; Q25, Q50 and Q75 (i.e. the values for which 25, 50 and 75 percent of the observations fall below). The interquartile range, , of the GEOMACS output takes the observations from between Q25 and Q75 to provide an accurate representation of the spread of observations. The interquartile range was shown to provide a more robust representation of the observations than the standard deviation, which produced highly skewed observations (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.

The Simrad EK60 split beam echosounders for 18 kHz and Simrad EK80 split beam echosounders for 38, 70 120, 200 and 333 kHz were used to acquire acoustic backscatter data to a range of 250 m (shallow water) or 1500 m (deep water) between Darwin and Fremantle. 
All frequencies were logged continuously for the extent of the voyage, except on occasion around Cocos (Keeling) Island and Muirfield Seamount when the 70 and 120 kHz frequencies were set to passive to avoid interference with the EM710 when conducting shallow multibeam bathymetry surveys.
Data are stored in .raw, .bot and *.idx format at CSIRO. There are 2138 files totalling 149 GB of raw data in this dataset.
