SOLAVENTS Geoscientific Data 2002

This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during SOLAVENTS cruise (FR03/02) on RV Franklin 26.3-21.4.2002 in Solomon islands. These data include logged station coordinates and information for dredges, sediment grabs and cores, CTD/hydrocasts, echosounder and camera/video operations, and geological samples. SOLAVENTS-2002 was the second of two back-to-back legs during which CSIRO Exploration and Mining this year continued its study of hydrothermal mineral formation in volcanic arcs and back arcs in the South West Pacific Ocean. Commencing in Rabaul and ending in Sydney, the expedition focussed in the eastern Solomon Islands between San Cristobal and Santa Cruz. Forty-three sites were surveyed, of which 4 were completed in significant detail. We conducted 254 operations and collected 486 rock and sediment samples, totalling around 2.7 tonnes of material, 323 water samples, and made 222 on-board methane gas and 218 pH, conductivity and free-iron analyses. Forty-four biological samples were recovered serendipitously during dredging operations. The aims of SOLAVENTS cruise were as follows: - To collect new marine geoscientific and geotectonic information on a hitherto little-explored but significant island-arc region, in the eastern Solomon Islands. Among the island arc-backarc systems of the southwestern Pacific, considerable petrologic and geochemical effort has been expended in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. However, there is an apparent gap of fundamental knowledge, between the eastern end of the Solomon arc and the northwestern end of the Vanuatu arc in terms of known volcanism, with the exception of one known subaerial volcano (Tinakula). - To document changes over a two year period of the active submarine Kavachi volcano. - To document the state of seabed sediments and water quality in Empress Augusta Bay, 13 years after the cessation of mining on Bougainville.

Jervis Bay Habitat Distribution Maps 1985-1991

This series of 13 maps detail the marine and estuarine and habitats of Jervis Bay. The Marine Environment Research Program (CSIRO Division of Fisheries) produced this series with funding from the Department of Defence. They are based on aerial photographs and on ground-truth data collected between 1985 and 1991. Unmapped habitats and inaccurate boundaries are described briefly on each map. The maps were originally published in the Final Report, May 1994, Jervis Bay Baseline Studies, volume 3. The map titles are: Map 1 - Bowen Island to Scottish Rocks Map 2 - Bristol Point to HMAS Creswell Map 3 - Seamans Beach to Hyams Beach Map 4 - Plantation Point Map 5 - look of the - Moona Moona Creek Map 6 - Currambene Creek to Callala Beach Map 7 - Currambene Creek - Upper Map 8 - Callala Beach to Callala Point Map 9 - Callala Bay to Red Point Map 10 - Cararma Creek Map 11 - Red Point to Cararma Inlet Map 12 - Green Island to Long Beach Map 13 - Bindijine Beach to Dart Point The final original digital files have been lost. The PDF files available for download here were created from a set of Encapsulated Post Script files recovered from old Jervis Bay Baseline Studies working group data backups. These were then edited to include text detailing the unmapped habitats and inaccurate boundary information taken from the printed maps in the Final Report. Apart from some minor layout variations, these files are an accurate representation of the final published maps.

Bathymetry grid north of Mandu of Carnarvon Shelf survey area

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. north3_3m is an ArcINFO grid north of Mandu of Carnarvon Shelf survey area produced from the processed EM3002 bathymetry data using the CARIS HIPS and SIPS software.
