Climate Change Risk Assessment for Marine Predators Data

Globally, terrestrially-breeding marine predators have experienced shifts in species distribution, prey availability, breeding phenology, and population dynamics due to climate change. These central-place foragers are restricted within proximity of their breeding colonies during the breeding season, making them highly susceptible to any changes in both marine and terrestrial environments. While ecologists have developed risk assessments to assess likely climate risk in various contexts, these often overlook critical breeding biology data. 
To address this knowledge gap, we developed a trait-based risk assessment framework, focusing on the breeding season and applying it to marine predators breeding in parts of Australian territory and Antarctica. Our objectives were to quantify climate change risk, identify specific threats, and establish an adaptable framework. The assessment considered 25 criteria related to three risk components: vulnerability, exposure, and hazard, while accounting for uncertainty. We employed a scoring system that integrated a systematic literature review and expert elicitation for the hazard criteria. Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify key factors contributing to overall risk.
Our results identified shy albatross (Thalassarche cauta), southern rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome), Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus), and Australian sea lions (Neophoca cinerea) with high climate urgency. Species breeding in lower latitudes as well as certain eared seal, albatross, and penguin species were particularly at risk. Hazard and exposure explained the most variation in relative risk, outweighing vulnerability. Key climate hazards affecting most species include extreme weather events, changes in habitat suitability, and prey availability.
We emphasise the need for further research, focusing on at-risk species, and filling knowledge gaps (less-studied hazard criteria, and/or species) to provide a more accurate and robust climate change risk assessment. Our findings offer valuable insights for conservation efforts, given monitoring and implementing climate adaptation strategies for land-dependent marine predators is more feasible during their breeding season.

2022 NSW Population Projections

Data files and papers for the 2022 release of the NSW population, household and implied dwelling projections.

The 2022 projections are an update of the 2019 population, household and implied dwelling projections and include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on population change across NSW. 

The 2022 projections form part of the NSW Common Planning Assumptions. They provide a consistent evidence base for NSW Government agencies to use in planning for key services and infrastructure in the state, from schools and hospitals to roads and transport.

These projections have since been superseded. The latest release (at November 2025) is the 2024 NSW population projections, published in November 2024.

The 2024 projections are available at https://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/data-and-insights/population-projections.

Official NSW population projections are updated twice in a five-year cycle. The schedule for these updates is linked to the timing of Australia's census.

NSW Estuary Water Quality Data Compilation: 2007 - 2024

Estuary water quality data has been collected by the Estuaries and Catchments Team of the Environment, Energy and Science Group in the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment since 2007. Data has been collected using a standard monitoring protocol outlined in 'Assessing estuary ecosystem health: Sampling, data analysis and reporting protocols. NSW Natural Resources Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Program', most recently updated in 2016 and available on the NSW environment website. The data has been used to monitor the aquatic ecosystem condition of over 160 estuaries in NSW over time. Adopting the principles of the National Water Quality Management Framework, the data has been used to develop NSW specific guideline values for a range of physico-chemical water quality indicators for each estuary type. This allows comparison of observed data to these guidelines to assess condition of any estuary in NSW. As part of the Marine Estate Management Strategy Implementation Plan Stage 1, a NSW water quality database has been developed, where this data is now stored. Water quality monitoring in NSW estuaries is ongoing, and updated data will be made available routinely.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2023_V02 ADCP Data

This record describes the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V02, titled: "Gigantic submarine landslide offshore western Tasmania: risk mitigation for shelf-derived tsunami in Australia." The voyage took place between March 24, 2023 and April 30, 2023 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart.

Investigations into the OS75 kHz ADCP fault were conducted at the start of the voyage in an attempt to operate the instrument at a reduced capacity and to assist with further diagnosis of the fault from works completed in the port period.

ADCP data were collected using the University of Hawaii Data Acquisition System (UHDAS) and post-processed using the Common Ocean Data Access System (CODAS). Documentation for these systems can be found in (Hummon, 2009-2021).

Both the RDI Ocean Surveyor 150kHz ADCP and the RDI Ocean Surveyor 75kHz ADCP were run in narrowband mode.

Internal triggering was used.

The drop keel (port) is located approximately 6.0m below the water line, additionally the keel was extended by 2.0m for the entire duration of the voyage, subsequently the transducers were located approximately 8.0m below the water line.

NOTE: the OS75nb "part1" data were missing or not useful so they were excluded from the downloadable links below.

For more information please see the Processing Report (linked below).

This dataset was processed (quality-controlled), and then archived by the CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) Information and Data Centre (IDC).

Government geoscience accelerating resource discovery and development

Collaborative government geoscience programs deliver data and information on Australia’s natural resources. Precompetitive geoscience is publicly available data and information that is shared freely by government for the benefit of all stakeholders. For the resources industry, precompetitive geoscience helps reduce investment risk and increases the odds of making a successful discovery during exploration. It comes before private sector exploration and investment, not instead of it.

Governments deliver precompetitive geoscience through integrated and complementary regional- to national-scale data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation studies of mineral and energy resource potential. Geoscience Australia works to support many stakeholders from the Australian Government, State and Territory Geological Surveys, industry, academia and communities. This ensures that reliable information is available to make informed decisions, and to establish and maintain a pipeline of exploration and development projects that can provide the raw materials needed for the production of renewable energy technologies (such as solar panels, wind turbines), electric vehicles, advanced manufacturing and defence technologies and capabilities.

Geoscience Australia’s current program has several initiatives specifically supporting the minerals sector. Resourcing Australia's Prosperity aims to comprehensively map Australia’s natural resources and accelerate the discovery of critical minerals and is a major federal government initiative. The Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub, which concludes in June 2026, is focused on industry prioritised research in collaboration with CSIRO and ANSTO. The Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative leverages international expertise to improve mineral prospectivity techniques and will feed into the Resourcing Australia's Prosperity initiative.

The outcome of this work provides trusted scientific evidence and advice that directly supports the Australian Government’s policies and strategic priorities as well as mapping the nations mineral potential and other resources needed to support the energy transition​. A thriving and sustainable resources exploration industry accelerates investment, resource development and a stronger economy.

Clay-hosted rare earth element mineral potential maps of Australia

Maps showing clay-hosted rare earth element (clay-REE) mineral potential in Australia, generated by (1) a knowledge-driven weighted sum model (KDWS) and (2) a machine learning random forest (MLRF) model.&nbsp;



The mineral potential maps are a synthesis of four component layers:

 1. Source of metals, fluids and ligands (KDWS &amp; RFML - subsets of the Layered Geology of Australia 1:1M and Alkaline Rocks Atlas of Australia; RFML additionally includes subset of Surface Geology of Australia 1:2.5M).

    2. Energy sources and fluid flow drivers (KDWS &amp; RFML - Revised Weathering Intensity Model of Australia - values 4.5-5.5; RFML additionally included the full national weathering intensity grid).

   3. Fluid flow pathways and architecture (KDWS &amp; RFML - Depth of regolith [regolith thickness] grid of Australia - vales 5-60 m inclusive).

   4. Ore depositional gradients and traps (KDWS &amp; RFML - Slope-relief classification of Australia - class 11 (lowest slope and relief landform pattern).



The input maps and dataset representing mineral deposits and occurrences used to train and validate (KDWS) and train, test and validate (RFML) the models are provided.&nbsp;

For clarity, the small number of documented 'transported' deposits (see accompanying GA Record) are not included in this analysis.



These datasets are accompanied by an assessment criteria table which contains information on the mappable criteria applied. Model weightings applied to each mineral system component (KDWS) and random forest statistics (MLRF) are reported in the accompanying GA Record.



The development of the maps is documented in GA Record 2026/12 (eCat 150834).

Cenozoic heavy mineral sand rare earth element mineral potential map of Australia

Map showing the potential for Cenozoic heavy mineral sand rare earth element (HMS REE) mineral systems in Australia.



The mineral potential map is a synthesis of four component layers:

    1. Source of metals, fluids and ligands (represented by subsets of the Surface Geology of Australia 1:2.5M and Alkaline Rocks Atlas of Australia).

   2. Energy sources and fluid flow drivers (represented by a subset of palaeovalleys derived from the Palaeogeographic Atlas of Australia - Vol. 10 Cenozoic.

  3. Fluid flow pathways and architecture (represented by the combined continental shelf and onshore basins with Cenozoic oceanic connection and sediment deposition).

 4. Ore depositional gradients and traps (represented by both (i) reported HMS occurrences and (ii) selected sand-dominated Cenozoic geological units from the Layered Geology of Australia).



The model uses a hybrid data-driven and knowledge driven methodology to produce the final mineral potential map for the mineral system.&nbsp;



The input maps and mineral deposit training and validation datasets used to generate the mineral potential map are provided.



These are accompanied by an assessment criteria table which contains information on the map creation including model weightings applied to each component.

By-products - maximising Australia's hidden critical mineral potential

Gallium, germanium, and indium are elements essential for the manufacture of semi-conductors and other advanced technologies that support the transition to net zero emissions. These elements are seldom found at grades significant enough to be mined as primary commodities and as a result the total resource endowment of these elements in mineral deposits at a national scale is presently unknown. To address this knowledge gap, Geoscience Australia has developed a predictive methodology, to estimate the in-situ resources for gallium, germanium, and indium in Australian zinc deposits. 



This abstract is for work that will be presented at the AusIMM Critical Minerals Conference 2025.
