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.

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

Data can be downloaded from here in <b>vpf format</b>. <p>NOTE : For more accurate and detailed data covering <b>continental Australia only</b> please obtain the <b><a href=""http://www.auslig.gov.au/download/"">Global Map Data 1M</a></b> <p><b>Generic information on DCW datasets :-</b> <br>The primary source for DCW is the US Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series produced by the United States, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The ONC's have a scale of 1:1,000,000, where 1 inch equals approximately 16 miles.The charts were designed to meet the needs of pilots and air crews in medium and low altitude en route navigation and to support military operational planning, intelligence briefings, and other needs. Therefore, the selection of ground features is based on the requirement for rapid visual recognition of significant details seen from a low perspective angle. The DCW database was originally published in 1992. Data currency varies from place to place depending on the currency of the ONC charts. Chart currency ranges from the mid 1960's to the early 1990's. Compilation dates for every ONC chart are included in the database."

This file identifes the storm tide inundation extent for a specific Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) event. Naming convention: SLR = Sea Level Rise s1a4 = s1 = Stage 1(extra-tropical storm tide), s2 = Stage 2 (tropical cyclone storm tide) (relating to Haigh et al. 2012 storm tide study), a4 = area 4 and a5 = area 5 2p93 = Inundation height, in this case 2.93 m Dice = this data was processed with the ESRI Dice tool.

As part of the standard town capture and requirement for high-res imagery to assist with cadastral upgrade in the Wellington Shire, the opportunity was taken to survey Geurie

Airborne Laser Fluorosensor or 'ALF' Data technology used in the present study comprises an aircraft-mounted laser, with an emitting wavelength of 266 nanno-metres, which is fired vertically at the sea surface. Any aromatic hydrocarbons present at the sea surface are excited by the laser and fluoresce; this fluorescence is then measured on-board the aircraft via a solid state diode array and presented as a digital spectral output. ALF is an extremely sensitive tool and detects the presence of thin (<1 micron) hydrocarbon films on the sea surface. Hydrocarbon anomalies detected by ALF are called 'fluors'. The vector data comes from 2 sources: AGSO and BHP. The AGSO data: acp8flours.shp both point and line data. acp16flours.shp both point and line data. skuaflours.shp both point and line data. haydenflours.shp both point and line data. browseflours.shp both point and line data. timor_survey.shp just line data timor2_survey.shp just line data.
