Data to be supplied to Western Australia project collaborators: Collaborative and Automative Tools for Analysis of Marine Imagery and video (CATAMI)

An animation of false colour (R:G:B = SWIR band, NIR band, Green band) Landsat imagery for Menindee Lakes and surrounds for the period from 1998 to 2012. The animation consists of gap-filled Landsat data and shows approximately 'a month per second' in the animation.

Between 2009-2012, Geoscience Australia conducted three surveys to Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and the Timor Sea on the R.V. Solander, in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Science and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. The study areas overlapped the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve and the carbonate banks and terraces within it. The surveys were conducted as part of the Australian Government's Energy Security Program (2007-2011) and the National Environment Research Program (2011-2015). On the surveys, a benthic sled was deployed to collect biological samples from the seafloor. Samples were sorted onboard according to phylum, photographed and then sent to taxonomists for species-level identifications. This catalogue includes all onboard photographs taken from identified samples. Sponges were the only group of which all samples were identified, but they include high proportions of unnamed or undescribed species. The catalogue also includes taxonomic identification sheets so that users can cross-reference the species names and images with location and depth.

Mount Merapi in Indonesia has experienced a number of VEI 3 (Volcano Explosivity Index) eruptions in historical times. This animation simulates a 'what if' scenario for a VEI 5 eruption of Mount Merapi using the output results from a volcanic ash hazard model called FALL3D-5.1.1. The simulated eruption occurs over a 12 hour period with a modelled eruption column height of 30 km. The prevailing wind direction is modelled to the southwest towards the nearby city of Yogyakarta (28 km). The animation shows the increase in volcanic ash thickness on the ground over time. The simulation shows that if Mount Merapi erupted under these conditions the city of Yogyakarta could experience ash thicknesses on the ground between 1 and 15 m including thicknesses of 7 - 8 m at the nearby Adisucipto International Airport.

The Common Earth Model is a collection of data collated by Geoscience Australia that aims to give a unified overview of the geology of Australia. The data are visualised in the Geoscience Australia 3D Data Viewer software and the intention is to give users a rich environment to explore diverse geological data. Geoscience Australia has collated these datasets from a wide range of sources.

The Lord Howe Rise survey (SS0608, GA survey #2461) was conducted on the Southern Surveyor in collaboration with the University of Wollongong between 16 and 29 April 2008. The survey was operated as part of the Surrogates Program of the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub. The objective was to collect high-quality, accurately co-located data to enable the robust testing of a range of physical parameters as surrogates of patterns of benthic biodiversity. A video transect was undertaken at a single station (station 9) in 35 m water depth (31.58°S, 159.04°E to 31.59°S, 159.03°E). Video footage was recorded to mini DV tapes and copied to digital format.

As the Platinum sponsor of the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium in 2013 (IGARSS 2013), Geoscience Australia had the opportunity to create a short movie, to be shown during the conference opening, highlighting the importance of the geosciences to society, and the incredible importance of remote sensing to the geosciences, both in Australia and globally. This is the text we intend to put on the YouTube page. The movie format is 1080p MPEG4 AVC(H264)/AAC. Other formats can be provided.
