Jervis Bay feeding guild data

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 colocated 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 MV 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.

5028 Block 2 (Southeast) reduced magnetic point-located data

GENERAL
 Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field, which includes the fields associated with the Earth's core, diurnal variations, and the magnetism of rocks in the Earth's crust.
 TMI data is used for geological mapping, mineral exploration, and environmental studies.

REDUCED DATA
 The reduced point-located data are processed to highlight the response of the subsurface geology in the Earth’s crust. It has the following reductions applied:
 1. Compensated for manoeuvre noise and heading error.
 2. Diurnal correction.
 3. Geomagnetic Reference Field correction.
 4. Tie-line levelling.
 5. Micro-levelling.

This line dataset from the Narryer survey were acquired in 2024 by the WA Government, and consisted of 415090 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance.

Southern Indian Ocean (MH370) Backscatter 30m 2017 (20170168C)

On behalf of Australia, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is leading search operations for missing Malaysian airlines flight MH370 in the Southern Indian Ocean. Geoscience Australia provided advice, expertise and support to the ATSB to facilitate bathymetric surveys, which were undertaken to provide a detailed map of the sea floor topography to aid navigation during the underwater search. Bathymetric and Backscatter data was acquired by multibeam sonar mounted on the hull of multiple vessels (GA survey reference: GA-4421, GA-4422 &amp; GA-4430). Bathymetric surveys were conducted from June 2014 to February 2017, collecting over 710,000 square kilometres of data in the search area and along transit lines (to and from the search area). 

This backscatter dataset allows exploration of the seafloor topography at a resolution of 30m across the search and transit areas of the Southern Indian Ocean.

Metrics for quality control of airborne gravity gradiometry field data

Airborne gravity gradiometry (AGG) has become a well-established tool throughout the world in exploration for minerals, hydrocarbons, geothermal energy and other commodities. There is expectation that there will be increased acquisition of AGG data in the coming years as the method provides rapid coverage of large areas with minimal need for land access when compared with land-based gravity surveys.

&nbsp;

The volume of AGG data being acquired is expected to increase. Therefore, it is important that standard AGG survey quality control metrics be made publicly available. We present a series of metrics developed within Geoscience Australia which form the basis of Geoscience Australia’s Airborne Gravity Gradiometry Technical Specifications. The availability of standard AGG survey quality control metrics will allow data to be readily assessed and providing consistency across surveys and systems.

Four phylum folders exist within the main folder:  Annelida, Crustacea, Echinodermata and Mollusca.  The crustacea folder contains further folders, breaking the images into finer groupings.  Images of taxa that do not fit in the four phylum folders are loose  in the main folder.

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.
This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
