<div>The AusSeabed Bathymetry Compilations Coverage Database contains polygon extents of bathymetry data acquisitions along with identifying attributes and contact details where the data is not held by Geoscience Australia. It is an important scientific resource that identifies data spanning coastal, continental shelf and deep sea locations. </div><div><br></div><div>This dataset is live and will continue to be augmented as coverage details are supplied from AusSeabed collaborators who wish to share their knowledge of data availability to the broader marine community. The database is updated regularly and is made available via the AusSeabed Marine Data Portal using OGC compliant web services. Compilations have been generated from one or more Survey/Data Acquisitions by a wide range of organisations and countries, both inside and outside Australia's marine jurisdiction, using multiple systems and for various applications. Compilation coverages are published where the polygon extents intersects with Australia's marine jurisdiction, including the Australian Antarctic Territory. Each polygon in the layer contains metadata describing compilation details. </div><div>Note that polygons may not be representative of the true survey extent due to the data gridding process. </div><div><br></div><div>Please contact us at ausseabed@ga.gov.au if you wish to contribute coverage information to the database.</div>

Please note: This product has been superseded by 50m Multibeam Dataset of Australia 2018. - This tile contains all multibeam data held by Geoscience Australia on August 2012 within the specified area. The data has been gridded to 50m resolution. Some deeper data has also been interpolated within the mapped area. The image provided can be viewed on the free software CARIS Easyview, available from the CARIS website: www.caris.com under Free Downloads.

This dataset contains all multibeam bathymetry data held by Geoscience Australia as of June 2018. It was compiled from data holdings lying within the offshore area of Australia, including international waters, and gridded at 50m. Source information can be found in the associated vector product, AusSeabed Bathymetry Holdings (https://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/116321). This dataset is accessible via clip, zip & ship enabled web mapping service on Geoscience Australia’s Marine data portal, http://marine.ga.gov.au. In future, this product will be delivered dynamically through the AusSeabed portal (in development).<p><p>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

<div>The Otway, Gippsland Basins and Bass Strait 3D seismic derived bathymetry compilation (20220007C) was produced by the University of Western Australia, Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and UniLasalle in collaboration with Geoscience Australia through the AusSeabed initiative.

This dataset contains a bathymetry (depth) grid of the Williams Ridge region, southeast Indian Ocean, at 100 metre resolution produced from the compilation of all available source data. These data include single beam echo sounder bathymetry data supplied by the Australian Hydrographic Office to generate the general depth model, and deep-water multibeam bathymetry data to reveal the complexity of the seafloor on Williams Ridge, Kerguelen Plateau and the surrounding abyssal plains and basins. Multibeam bathymetry data were collected during systematic surveys over Williams Ridge by Research Vessel (RV) Investigator in 2020 and RV Sonne, and on vessel transits that crossed through the region. The RV Investigator survey also collected seismic, magnetic and gravity data, and rock samples to provide new knowledge of the geological and tectonic evolution of the region (see www.mnf.csiro.au/en/voyages/IN2020_V01). Austral Fisheries also provided crowdsourced bathymetry (CSB) data from fishing vessels collected using single beam echo sounders. These fishing vessels operate within the Kerguelen Plateau and Williams Ridge region licenced under the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. Austral Fisheries CSB data were provided to the Australian Antarctic Division for restricted use in this compilation product. All source multibeam and single beam bathymetry data were edited as 3D point clouds to remove anomalous noise, and given a consistent WGS84 horizontal datum, and where possible, an approximate MSL vertical datum prior to the grid interpolation process. This dataset was developed to support the management of Australia’s marine jurisdiction and is published with permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.

The AusBathyTopo 250m (Australia) 2023 Grid is a high-resolution depth model for Australia that replaces the Australian Bathymetry and Topography Grid, June 2009. This publication is the result of a collaborative partnership between Geoscience Australia, the Australian Hydrographic Office, James Cook University, and the University of Sydney. It has been compiled using 1582 unique data sources from multibeam echosounders, single-beam echosounders, LiDAR, 3D seismic first returns, Electronic Navigation Charts and satellite derived bathymetry alongside higher-resolution regional compilations. In particular, the map incorporates new innovations such as the use of earth observation data (satellite based) produced by Digital Earth Australia to improve shallow coastal depth modelling to present a seamless transition between land and sea. All source bathymetry data were extensively edited as 3D point clouds to remove noise, given a consistent WGS84 horizontal datum, and where possible, an approximate MSL vertical datum. This new continental-scale grid represents decades of data collection, analysis, investment and collaboration from Australia’s seabed mapping community and is a significant improvement on the 2009 compilation. The data extends across a vast area from 92°E to 172° E and 8°S to 60° S. This includes areas adjacent to the Australian continent and Tasmania, and surrounding Macquarie Island and the Australian Territories of Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, and Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Australia's marine jurisdiction offshore from the territory of Heard and McDonald Islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory are not included. We acknowledge the use of the CSIRO Marine National Facility (https://ror.org/01mae9353 ) in undertaking this research. The datasets used were collected by the Marine National Facility on 43 voyages (see Lineage for identification). This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

This collection contains all national level bathymetry grids held by Geoscience Australia (GA) dating back to survey data obtained since 1993. <b>Value: </b>Bathymetry data is used for a wide range of marine applications including: navigation, environmental assessment, jurisdictional boundaries, resource exploration. <b>Scope: </b>Data holdings lying within the offshore area of Australia, including international waters. <b>To access the AusSeaBed Marine Data Portal</b> use the following link: <a href="https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/marine#/">https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/marine#/</a>
