Australian atmospheric pressure and sea level data during the 2022 Hunga volcano tsunami

On January 15, 2022, an ongoing eruption at the Hunga volcano generated a large explosion which resulted in a globally observed tsunami and atmospheric pressure wave. This paper presents time series observations of the event from Australia including 503 mean sea level pressure (MSLP) sensors and 111 tide gauges. Data is provided in its original format, which varies between data providers, and a post-processed format with consistent file structure and time-zone. High-pass filtered variants of the data are also provided to facilitate study of the pressure wave and tsunami. For a minority of tide gauges the raw sea level data cannot be provided, due to licence restrictions, but high-pass filtered data is always provided. The data provides an important historical record of the Hunga volcano pressure wave and tsunami in Australia. It will be useful for research in atmospheric and ocean waves associated with large volcanic eruptions.

Mineral deposits in time: products and indicators of Earth's tectonic and environmental history

Although it has been known for several decades that some types of mineral deposits have episodic distributions through time, improved constraints on the ages of mineralisation and a better knowledge of Earth's history have improved our understanding of how metallogenesis is linked to Earth's tectonic and atmosphere/hydrosphere evolution.
The temporal distribution of deposits reflects a combination of formation and preservation, with erosion removing older examples of deposits formed at shallow levels (&lt;5 km) in the crust (e.g. porphyry copper deposits) from the geological record. The distributions of deposits that typically form in convergent margins have a close association with periods of supercraton/supercontinent assembly during Earth's history, and deposits that require the involvement of oxidised surficial or basinal fluids form only after the Great Oxidation Event.
For some deposit classes, characteristics of deposits within the class also change with time. For volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposits, the lithological make-up of the host packages, the geochemistry of associated volcanic rocks and the mineralogy of the ores and alteration assemblages change with time. These changes not only provide clues to changes in tectonic processes and environmental conditions over time, but also influence the physical properties and explorability of the deposits.

Balook Dome Warragul Gravity (P198246), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Balook Dome Warragul Gravity (P198246) contains a total of 630 point data values acquired at a spacing of 500 metres. The data is located in VIC and were acquired in 1982, under project No. 198246 for Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV).

Bynoe Harbour Habitat Mapping Survey 2016: Results of sediment oxygen demand experiments

This resource contains surface sediment data for Bynoe Harbour collected by Geoscience Australia (GA), the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and Department of Land Resource Management (Northern Territory Government) during the period from 2-29 May 2016 on the RV Solander (survey SOL6432/GA4452). This project was made possible through offset funds provided by INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project to Northern Territory Government Department of Land Resource Management, and co-investment from Geoscience Australia and Australian Institute of Marine Science. The intent of this four year (2014-2018) program is to improve knowledge of the marine environments in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions by collating and collecting baseline data that enable the creation of thematic habitat maps that underpin marine resource management decisions. The specific objectives of the survey were to: 1. Obtain high resolution geophysical (bathymetry) data for outer Darwin Harbour, including Shoal Bay; 2. Characterise substrates (acoustic backscatter properties, grainsize, sediment chemistry) for outer Darwin Harbour, including Shoal Bay; and 3. Collect tidal data for the survey area. Data acquired during the survey included: multibeam sonar bathymetry and acoustic backscatter; physical samples of seabed sediments, underwater photography and video of grab sample locations and oceanographic information including tidal data and sound velocity profiles. 
This dataset comprises the results of sediment oxygen demand experiments undertaken on seabed sediments. 
A detailed account of the survey is provided in Siwabessy, P.J.W., Smit, N., Atkinson, I., Dando, N., Harries, S., Howard, F.J.F., Li, J., Nicholas W.A., Picard, K., Radke, L.C., Tran, M., Williams, D. and Whiteway, T., 2016.
