Abstract
Promotional flyer for AMSA 2015 conference describing Geoscience Australia's seabed mapping capabilities and marine work programs (Not for general release). Content of flyer as follows: Geoscience Australia provides geoscientific information and knowledge for the economic, social and environmental benefit of all Australians. Geoscience Australia (GA) maintains a marine science and data acquisition capability which supports the Commonwealth in addressing challenges facing Australia. GA provides marine geological and environmental advice and information to support Government planning in areas such as sustainable development of offshore resources, assessment and management of natural disasters, and policy for Australia's coastal zone, the offshore marine estate and the Australian Antarctic Territory. GA maintains a national archive of publicly available physical marine datasets and value added products including maps, techniques, models and predictions, ensuring valuable information is preserved and available to enable future science. GA data products and scientific expertise cover areas of: - bathymetry and seabed hardness - marine geomorphology and geology - seabed sediments and geochemistry - seabed habitats and marine biodiversity - shallow water bathymetry and coastal mapping using satellite data. Current work is contributing directly to programs including: - National Environmental Science Programme, Marine Biodiversity Hub - seabed mapping around Casey Station, Antarctica - INPEX environmental offset program, Northern Australia - Australian Government search for MH370 - Australian Government Offshore Petroleum and CO2 storage acreage release and promotion. Ongoing work contributes to: - Australian Government release and promotion of offshore petroleum and greenhouse gas acreage - information to support decision making on offshore resource competition issues - statistical techniques to extract value from sparse regional and national environmental data - marine data preservation and access to develop national baselines and enable Australian science - change detection from analysis of satellite time series data using the `Data Cube' hosted at the National Computational Infrastructure. Further information about GA's marine activities can be found on our webpage www.ga.gov.au/about/what-we-do/projects/marine Publications can be found at www.ga.gov.au/data-pubs
