This service represents a combination of two data products, the DEM_SRTM_1Second dataset and the Australian_Bathymetry_Topography dataset. This service was created to support the CO2SAP (Co2 Storage application) Project to create a transect elevation graph within the application. This data is not available as a dataset for download as a Geoscience Australia product. The DEM_SRTM_1Second service represents the National Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 Second product derived from the National DEM SRTM 1 Second. The DEM represents ground surface topography, with vegetation features removed using an automatic process supported by several vegetation maps. eCat record 72759. The Australian_Bathymetry_Topography service describes the bathymetry dataset of the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond. Bathymetry data was compiled by Geoscience Australia from multibeam and single beam data (derived from multiple sources), Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) Laser Airborne Depth Sounding (LADS) data, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) fairsheets, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) bathymetric model, the 2 arc minute ETOPO (Smith and Sandwell, 1997) and 1 arc minute ETOPO satellite derived bathymetry (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Topographic data (onshore data) is based on the revised Australian 0.0025dd topography grid (Geoscience Australia, 2008), the 0.0025dd New Zealand topography grid (Geographx, 2008) and the 90m SRTM DEM (Jarvis et al, 2008). eCat record 67703. IMPORTANT INFORMATION For data within this service that lays out of the Australian boundary the following needs to be considered. This grid is not suitable for use as an aid to navigation, or to replace any products produced by the Australian Hydrographic Service. Geoscience Australia produces the 0.0025dd bathymetric grid of Australia specifically to provide regional and local broad scale context for scientific and industry projects, and public education. The 0.0025dd grid size is, in many regions of this grid, far in excess of the optimal grid size for some of the input data used. On parts of the continental shelf it may be possible to produce grids at higher resolution, especially where LADS or multibeam surveys exist. However these surveys typically only cover small areas and hence do not warrant the production of a regional scale grid at less than 0.0025dd. There are a number of bathymetric datasets that have not been included in this grid for various reasons.

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. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes

This dataset contains bathymetry (depth) products from the compilation of all available source bathymetry data within the Kerguelen Plateau into a 100 m-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Heard Island and McDonald Islands are situated on the Kerguelen Plateau within the south-west Indian Ocean and lie within Australia's marine jurisdiction. Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) are surrounded by an Exclusive Economic Zone extending 200 nautical miles from their coasts and much of the Kerguelen Plateau south of Heard Island has been recognised as Australian Extended Continental Shelf by the UN Commission for the Legal Continental Shelf. The area is currently targeted by fishers licensed under the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The purpose of the bathymetry grid is to improve the geomorphic detail of seafloor features, including submarine volcanic hills on the top of the Kerguelen Plateau and a complex of submarine channels draining the southern flank of northern plateau. Australian Hydrographic Office-supplied single beam echo sounder bathymetry data were used to develop the general depth variation across the Kerguelen Plateau and adjacent Williams Ridge extending to the south-east of the central plateau. Deep-water multibeam bathymetry data reveal the complexity of the seafloor on Kerguelen Plateau and the surrounding abyssal plains and basins. These multibeam surveys were conducted both as systematic surveys by Research Vessel (RV) Investigator and Sonne over Williams Ridge. Other multibeam data were obtained from transit voyages that crossed through the Kerguelen Plateau and Williams Ridge area. SHOM-supplied combined multibeam and single beam data were collected around the French EEZ and approaches to Kerguelen Island, which is French territory. Austral Fisheries provided extensive crowdsourced bathymetry (CSB) data from their various blue-water fishing vessels using single beam echo sounders. These fishing vessels operate within the Kerguelen Plateau and Williams Ridge region under licence from the Australian Fisheries Management Authority. Austral Fisheries CSB date were provided to the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) for restricted use in this project. All source multibeam and single beam bathymetry data were extensively edited as 3D point clouds to remove obvious anomalous noise, and given a consistent WGS84 horizontal datum, and where possible, an approximate MSL vertical datum prior to the grid interpolation process.

Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point-located data recorded during a geophysical survey. This National Gravity Compilation 2019 ground elevation ellipsoid image (hillshade HSI) is elevation of the observation surface for the gravity data in the 2019 A Series grids relative to the GRS80 ellipsoid (GDA94 datum). These data were acquired under the project No. 202008. The ground surface data were derived from SRTM data with 3 second grid cell size. The grid used to produce this image has a cell size of 0.00417 degrees (approximately 435m). The data are given in units of meters. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.

This dataset contains bathymetry (depth) products from the compilation of all available source bathymetry data within the Great Barrier Reef into a 30 m-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is the largest coral reef ecosystem on Earth and stretches over 2500 km along the north-eastern Australia margin. Bathymetry mapping of this extensive reef system is vital for the protection of the GBR allowing for the safe navigation of shipping and improved environmental management. Over the past ten years, deep-water multibeam surveys have revealed the highly complex shelf-edge drowned reefs and continental slope canyons. Airborne LiDAR bathymetry acquired by the Australian Hydrographic Service cover most of the GBR reefs, with coverage gaps supplemented by satellite derived bathymetry. The Geoscience Australia-developed Intertidal Elevation Model DEM improves the source data gap along Australia’s vast intertidal zone. All source bathymetry data were extensively edited as point clouds to remove noise, given a consistent WGS84 horizontal datum, and where possible, an approximate MSL vertical datum. The High-resolution depth model for the Great Barrier Reef - 30 m (Version 10 Nov 2020) can be downloaded as four separate but overlapping grids, with the area coverage: Great Barrier Reef A 2020 30m 10-17°S 143-147°E Great Barrier Reef B 2020 30m 16-23°S 144-149°E Great Barrier Reef C 2020 30m 18-24°S 148-154°E Great Barrier Reef D 2020 30m 23-29°S 150-156°E There is an updated “Torres Strait Bathymetry 30m 2020 - A High-resolution Depth Model (20200021C)” and can be downloaded at: <a href="http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/144348">http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/144348</a> It includes a grid with an area coverage: 8 – 13°S and 139 – 146°E This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

The Bass Strait Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is a compilation of all available bathymetry data for the area of seabed between the coastlines of Victoria and northern Tasmania, extending approximately 460 km from west of King Island to east of Flinders Island. The Bass Strait is bounded by a continental slope incised with numerous canyons, including the prominent Bass Canyon on the eastern side. The region encompasses islands and exposed rocks, drowned paleo-shorelines and dunefields, fringed by a rugged coastline. Bathymetry mapping of the seafloor is vital for the protection of Bass Strait, allowing for safe navigation of shipping, improved environmental management and resource development. Australian Hydrographic Office-supplied ENC tile spot depths were used to develop the general bathymetry variation across the entire region. Shallow- and deep-water multibeam survey data reveal the complexity of the seafloor for the continental shelf and adjacent canyons which incise the western and eastern sides of Bass Strait. Airborne LiDAR bathymetry acquired by the Australian Hydrographic Office cover most of the northern Tasmanian nearshore and coast, with some coverage gaps supplemented by Landsat-8 satellite derived bathymetry data. The Geoscience Australia-developed Intertidal Elevation Model DEM improves the source data over the intertidal zone. Highly accurate photogrammetry coastline data developed for the Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales coastlines, and Near Surface Feature data representing shoal features observable in aerial imagery, were used to improve the land/water interface of the numerous island and rock features. 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.<p><p>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
