Coral reef health database (Reef Check Australia)

The Reef Check Australia monitoring program acts as an early warning system for coral community health. Annual surveys provide long-term data that can reveal patterns over time. Trained community volunteers collect quantitative data on the Great Barrier Reef and in the Southeast Queensland coral habitats. Data include substrate percent cover, abundance of key invertebrate species and target fish species. Data on natural and anthropogenic impacts on coral community health are also recorded. The Reef Check method is used which is used in 90 countries world-wide, making these results directly comparable globally.

Data units:
Quantitative, integer, discrete (e.g number of fish, invertebrates etc).
Percentage (e.g. percent coral cover)
Categorical (e.g. siltation level: low, medium, high)

Coral Creek (Hinchinbrook Island) Automatic Weather Station, north Queensland

This data contains historical weather data from Coral Creek (Hinchinbrook Island), covering the period 16-10-1980 to 30-7-1985.

These data were collected initially using tapes which were regularly exchanged and later by telemetery which sent binary data daily to a computer controlled base station. Data were verified by comparing three sets of the same data, received over three days. The base station passed data to the central computing facility at AIMS for processing.

Data recorded: Wind direction (0-360°); Wind speed (km/hr); Air temperature (0-40°C); Barometric pressure (mB); Solar radiation (µE/sec/M2, PAR).

Other variables:
Time of day (e.g. 21:53:54); Day of year (e.g.118); Year (e.g. 86).

Consolidated Exposures – Immediate Risk Basis – International Claims by Country

In March 2003, banks and selected Registered Financial Corporations (RFCs) began reporting their international assets, liabilities and country exposures to APRA in ARF/RRF 231 International Exposures. This return is the basis of the data provided by Australia to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for its International Banking Statistics (IBS) data collection. APRA ceased the RFC data collection after September 2010.

The IBS data are based on the methodology described in the BIS Guide on International Financial Statistics (see http://www.bis.org/statistics/intfinstatsguide.pdf; Part II International banking statistics). Data reported for Australia, and other countries, on the BIS website are expressed in United States dollars (USD).

Data are recorded on an end-quarter basis.

There are two sets of IBS data: locational data, which are used to gauge the role of banks and financial centres in the intermediation of international capital flows; and consolidated data, which can be used to monitor the country risk exposure of national banking systems. Only consolidated data are reported in this statistical table.

Data are shown for a range of countries and regions. Similar data for a selected group of countries are also available in statistical table B13.1.

Country and regional groupings are based on the classification used in the IBS.

Data presented in this statistical table are immediate risk claims (expressed by the BIS as claims on an immediate borrower basis), which cover exposures on an immediate counterparty location basis. Ultimate risk claims are presented in complementary statistical tables B13.2 and B13.2.1, which cover immediate exposures adjusted (via guarantees and other risk transfers) to reflect the location of the ultimate counterparty/risk.

International claims represent cross-border claims in all currencies and foreign offices’ local claims in non-local currencies (which would include, for example, USD claims on New Zealand residents by the New Zealand subsidiary of an Australian-owned bank).

This statistical table contains seven data worksheets. Six present data for countries within each specified region, while the 'Summary' worksheet shows total international claims of the globally consolidated operations of Australian-owned banks for each region, international organisations and unallocated. In each of these worksheets, the data in the last column measures total international claims for the region. Total international claims for each country add to total international claims for the region. However, in some quarters, this cannot be directly verified because data for individual countries and regions have blank entries in order to avoid disclosing confidential bank exposures.

In the 'Summary' worksheet, the positions by region and international organisation, and unallocated are summed to produce a ‘Total’ figure that represents reporting entities’ total international exposures.

BOM IFD - Bureau Of Meteorology, South East Australia (NSW,VIC) Gridded Intensity, Frequency, Duration datasets (.05º 100 year return interval)

The Australian Bureau Of Meteorology - Australian Gridded Intensity, Frequency, Duration Datasets (BOM - IFD) for a 100 year return interval. IFD datasets contain rainfall statistics, with the CSIRO Archive having data for 2, 24 & 72 hour periods at .05° resolution for the South East Australia region covering New South Wales and Victoria. IFD datasets are commonly used in Climate change studies, for design and risk assessment of dams and bridges, design of roof and stormwater drainage systems, flood plain management, soil conservation studies and to express the "severity" of a single rainfall event (in terms of its rarity). The process of estimating IFDs, known as frequency analysis, is an important part of hydrological design procedures. An analysis of rainfall data from a single station is often unreliable; not temporally or spatially consistent; and should generally not be used for design purposes. Instead a set of accurate, consistent IFD data was derived for the whole of Australia by the Bureau of Meteorology as part of the revision of Australian Rainfall and Runoff with the Institute of Engineers Australia(1987). INTENSITY is the rainfall rate (in mm per hour), FREQUENCY is how often a type of rainfall event will occur and DURATION is the period of time over which the rain is measured. There are 3 files covering the 2, 24, 72 hr periods (each ~1.03MB) in Ascii Arcg format totaling approximately 3.11 MB.

Conservation Management Zones of Australia

The 23 Conservation Management Zones of Australia are geographic areas, classified according to their ecological and threat characteristics. The zones are also aligned with the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia.

The Conservation Management Zones provide a way of understanding Australia’s natural environment that will assist in long-term conservation planning and help the Australian Government to better design, deliver and report on Natural Resource Management (NRM) investments, including ensuring alignment of national NRM priorities with local action.

The Conservation Management Zones also provide a filter through which to make national environmental and socio-economic data regionally meaningful, accessible and comprehensible to all. 

They provide a framework for gathering on-ground knowledge and expertise about the environment. This will improve information flow to the Australian Government and other key decision makers about regional NRM requirements, best practice management, emerging NRM issues and knowledge gaps.

The Conservation Management Zones do not represent any change to existing administrative boundaries or governance structures, but aim to support the NRM and wider community to cooperatively manage environmental assets across boundaries, where they share common threats, ecological characteristics and stakeholders.

The project builds on the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia (IBRA) which has been used to support planning of the National Reserve System, but consolidates the 85 mainland IBRA regions into 23 Conservation Management Zones, where IBRA regions share common characteristics.

Composite Inshore Seagrass Distribution - GBRWHA and Hervey Bay - 1984 - 2007  (QDPI-F)

This dataset is shows the distribution of inshore seagrass along the eastern Queensland coastline. It is a composite of 38 surveys conducted from 1984 to 2007.

Coastal seagrasses in waters shallower than -15 metres were mapped by dive surveys, under water cameras and inter-tidal aerial surveys.  The data includes location information on the spatial extent of seagrass habitats mapped in 38 surveys between 1984 ¿ 2007.  The data does not include species information.  Seagrass surveys were conducted at various times and at different precisions but the composite layer is the best depiction of seagrass for the GBRWHA and Hervey Bay presently available for planning purposes.  

Seagrass distribution can change seasonally and between years, and users should ensure that they make appropriate enquires to determine whether new or more appropriate information is available.


Notes:

This dataset is somewhat deprecated by a more recent compilation of seagrass data in 2015 that is openly available. See the related data link. 


Data Location:

This dataset is filed in the eAtlas enduring data repository at: data\MTSRF\GBR_MTSRF-1-1-3_QDPI-F_Coles-R_Composite-seagrass-1984-2007
