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. cloates_3m is an ArcINFO grid of Point Cloates of Carnarvon Shelf survey area produced from the processed EM3002 bathymetry data using the CARIS HIPS and SIPS software

The Surface Hydrology Points (Regional) dataset provides a set of related features classes to be used as the basis of the production of consistent hydrological information. This dataset contains a geometric representation of major hydrographic point elements - both natural and artificial. This dataset is the best available data supplied by Jurisdictions and aggregated by Geoscience Australia it is intended for defining hydrological features.

Locations of RADARSAT scenes within the Australian marine region. This dataset represents all the radarsat (SAR) scenes GA (PMD) has purchased and have stored in-house. SAR stands for Synthetic Aperature Radar. RADARSAT is a Canadian satellite and scenes are from a company called RADARSAT International (RSI). GA (PMD) updates its holdings of these satellite scenes on a 6 monthly basis. Almost all scenes have been interpreted by GA and external contractors.

This is a bathymetry contour dataset (ESRI shp file) originally dervied from the 250m bathymetry raster grid. All values are in metres. The contour range is as follows: -10 to -1000 - Is contoured at 10m intervals -1000 to -8000 - Is contoured at 100m intervals

This layer shows the location of red crab crossing grids and migration gates. It wss provided by Christmas Island National Park staff in 2012 as a shapefile.

This use of this data should be carried out with the knowledge of the contained metadata and with reference to the associated report provided by Geoscience Australia with this data (Reforming Planning Processes Trial: Rockhampton 2050). A copy of this report is available from the the Geoscience Australia website (http://www.ga.gov.au/sales) or the Geoscience Australia sales office (sales@ga.gov.au, 1800 800 173). The wind hazard outputs are a series of rasters, one for each average recurrence interval considered, presenting peak wind hazard (peak from all directions) as measured in km/h.

This data release includes a three-dimensional (3D) geological map of the Cooper Basin region which has been produced from 3D inversions of Bouguer gravity data using geological data to constrain the inversions. It also includes predictions of temperature and temperature uncertainty which have been produced from the 3D map. The 3D geological map delineates regions of low density within the basement of the Cooper and Eromanga basins. These are inferred as granitic bodies, which may act as heat sources. It also delineates the stratigraphy of the sedimentary basins which provide thermal insulation. This release is the second version of the 3D map of the Cooper Basin region. It builds on Version 1 of the Cooper Basin Region Geological map, released in 2009. The 3D map is supplied here in Gocad® format as surfaces. The surfaces define the extent of each map unit as described in the report.

This is a polygon file, one of five within the Rockhampton Regional Council coastline, which buffers the coastline by 4 km inland. This extent was use to clip the storm tide inundation extents and to visualise each of the five distinct inundation zones.

The wind hazard outputs are a series of rasters, one for each average recurrence interval considered, presenting peak wind hazard (peak from all directions) as measure in km/h. This file identifies the extent of inundation from sea-level rise combined with Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT) which is 3.9 m AHD. The name of the file indicates the scneraio water height, e.g. p3p9_LGAClip indicates the inundation shown is for 3.9 m above AHD and that the file has been clipped by the Local Government Area (LGA) to remove the offshore inundation identified.
