BINATANG Geoscientific Data 2000

This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during BINATANG cruise (FR03/2000) on RV Franklin 14.4-4.5.2000 in eastern Manus Basin, Papua New Guinea. These data include logged station coordinates and information for sediment grabs and cores, CTD/hydrocasts, echosounder and camera/video operations, and geological, fauna and microbiology samples. The major aim of BINATANG cruise was to collect samples at actively-venting seafloor hydrothermal sites in the eastern Manus Basin, PNG, from which microbes would be extracted for culturing and use in a new CSIRO multi-divisional research initiative "Biological Applications in Mining and Mineral Processing". These collections were authorised by an contractual agreement between CSIRO Exploration and Mining, and the responsible government authority PNG BioNet.A second objective was to deploy and test towed deep-submergence geophysical sensors being developed in CSIRO to facilitate future seafloor mineral exploration and mining. Finally, geological investigations were aimed at supplementing outcomes of four previous PACMANUS cruises with Franklin (1991-97). Among geological outcomes, a highlight receiving worldwide publicity in the print and electronic media was the chance collection of the largest sulfide chimney specimen ever recovered from a submarine hydrothermal site. Weighing close to a tonne and 2.7 metres tall, this structure named Bikpela (Big Fellow) is composed almost entirely of the zinc mineral sphalerite. We demonstrated that, with accurate ship handling and precision dredging at previously surveyed sites, voluminous samples of sulfide chimneys can be collected from which hyperthermophilic microbes formerly active at elevated temperature were extractable.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2023_V05 Gravity Data

This record describes gravity data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2023_V05, titled "Untangling the causes of change over 25 years in the southeast marine ecosystem (SEA-MES Voyage 1). The voyage took place between June 28, 2023 and July 30, 2023 (AEST), departing from Hobart and returning to Hobart. 
The gravity meter instrument is a MicroG Lacoste Air-Sea II. Data are stored in .ENV and .DAT data files at CSIRO. There are 14 files totalling 205 MB of raw data in this dataset. A wharf tie was not undertaken due to the sensor replacements, and malfunctions.
Gravity data was acquired for adhoc periods throughout the voyage although due to continued errors, malfunctions and swapping of sensor hardware it is recommended this data not be published. The manufacturer advised the systems control module be replaced as a potential solution to malfunctions. This was carried out on the 3rd July 2023. The system was observed to similarly malfunction after a short period.

RV Investigator Voyage IN2016_V02 CTD Data

This record describes the Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator voyage IN2016_V02  Titled: "SOTS: Southern Ocean Time Series Automated Moorings for Climate and Carbon Cycle Studies Southwest of Tasmania". The voyage took place between the 13th March to 16th of April, 2016 departing Hobart (TAS) and returning to Hobart (TAS).
Data for 40 deployments were acquired using the Seabird SBE911 CTD 20, fitted with 24 ten litre bottles on the rosette sampler. Sea-Bird-supplied and O&amp;A Calibration Facility calibration factors were used to compute the pressures and preliminary conductivity values. CSIRO calibrations were applied to the temperature data. The data were subjected to automated QC to remove spikes and out-of-range values.
The final conductivity calibration was based on a single deployment grouping. The final calibration from the secondary sensor had a standard deviation (S.D) of 0.00138 PSU, well within our target of ‘better than 0.002 PSU’. The standard product of 1dbar binned averaged were produced using data from the primary sensors.
The dissolved oxygen data calibration from the secondary sensor was used for the final calibration. The fit had a S.D. of 0.792 uM. The agreement between the CTD and bottle data was good.
The Biospherical photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), C-Star transmissometer and the Wetlabs ECO chlorophyll and scattering sensors were also installed on the auxiliary A/D channels of the CTD. The lowered ADCP was also attached to the package, logging internally during each cast.
The collected data were subsequently processed and archived within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere (O&amp;A) Information and Data Centre (IDC) in Hobart. Additional information regarding this dataset may be contained in the Voyage Summary and the CTD Data Processing Report.

Mapping and Characterisation of Key Biotic and Physical Attributes of the Torres Strait Ecosystem (Towed Video)

The seabed habitat, marine plant and sessile megabenthos cover of the 50,000 km² area of the Torres Strait Protected Zone and adjacent shelf seabed was observed by a 500 m transect of a Drop-Camera video system at 173 sites, representing a wide range of known physical environments, during one 1-month-long voyage on the James Cook University vessel James Kirby. Continuous underway coding during transects recorded cover of 9 substrata types, 26 biohabitat types, and occurrence of 12 faunal classes. Laboratory post-analysis of the video recorded more detail at ~30 random frames per transect, including: 20 substratum types, 92 biological types -- the dataset comprises ~28,000 site-by-type records. In addition, during most transects, digital still photographs were taken at 5-15 second intervals with strobes, and CTD data were recorded.
