    The scientific objectives for the survey were split across two voyages (SS11/2006 for leg 1 and SS02/2007 for leg 2). They were to: (1) use advanced sampling tools and techniques that are, to the extent possible, non destructive (2) collect precisely georeferenced baseline data at scientific reference sites to enable indicators to be quantified (e.g. biodiversity metrics and levels of fishing effort at each site). These data will be documented and available for use for targeted monitoring during subsequent surveys (1) provide results that can assess the achievement of the TSMR management plan to date (revisit four seamounts photographed in 1997 - Main Pedra, Sister 1, K1 and D1; look for changes in fished and unfished sites) and refine baseline data (2) enable future assessment against performance objectives for the TSMR and selected proposed Commonwealth MPAs - Huon, Tasman Fracture and possibly South Tasman Rise and Freycinet depending on the time available at sea (3) test efficiency of the various biodiversity metrics to determine effectiveness, cost and potential for monitoring other deepwater reserves (4) provide samples for key taxa that can be used in subsequent genetic research to refine definition and extent of endemicity in deepwater fauna (5) complete swath mapping of relevant parts of continental slope between Hobart and SW Cape. This Metadata record describes the imagery data taken with the deep video-system and sediment data taken with a Smith-McIntyre grab. The image annotations collected for this project have been added to the Oracle data base BHIMAGE and the associated videos and still images have been archived as described in MarLIN record 14436 'Benthic Habitats Video Image Archive'. Sediment data has been processed by GA and integrated into the MARS data base.

  • Landsat 8 Images were obtained for the project study area (Pilbara Marine Region). Images acquired were Landsat 8 images (Path: 113,114,115 Rows: 74,75,76) for 2013 ranging from Day 110 - 348 (2013-04-20 to 2013-12-14). Data are comprised of 58 files ranging in size from 500 to 1000 MB in compressed format (46 GB total), and are lodged with the iVEC Data Store - https://data.ivec.org The Pilbara Marine Conservation Partnership (PMCP) was an initiative designed to enhance the net conservation benefits of the globally-significant coral reef ecosystems of the Pilbara (Western Australia) by providing an assessment of the condition and trajectory of key ecological values. These assessments were designed to inform and complement existing governance and management arrangements and the PMCP is intended to provide ongoing advice and assessment for conservation efforts in the region, providing lasting benefits. The PMCP concept is based on three core ecological components, namely: Coral Reef Health - concentrating mainly on habitat forming primary producers. Fish and Sharks - their community structure, interactions and impacts on lower trophic levels. Environmental Pressures - physical and anthropogenic factors that influence the condition of reefs and associated biota.

    GFO is a radar altimeter used to measure ocean wave heights and currents. This data set covers the period from 07-Jan-2000 to 02-Jun-2008. The data set comprising near global (72S - 72N) sea surface height anomalies, the along ground tracks are repeated every 17 days and are the same the same ground track as GEOSAT. The data has been processed at CSIRO Marine Research in Hobart to a uniform grid spacing and format, there is one file for each satellite pass and the data files are in a simple binary format.. It is available on-line on the CSIRO Marine Research network; also available to outside users on request.

    ESRI grids showing half lunar mean and maxium tidal currents for the Australian Shelf. The tide data was generated from a tide model for the Australian Shelf which was set up for the region limited by 0 degrees S to 45 degrees S and 109 degrees E to 160 degrees E. The spatial and temporal resolution of the model output is 0.067 degrees in both latitude and longitude and half a lunar cycle respectively. The arc info grided data was generated by Rick Smith and mapped by Donna Hayes.

  • The mangroves of Torres Strait were mapped with classified Landsat TM satellite imagery. There was 15,663 ha of mangrove mapped on the islands and reefs of central Torres Strait. The largest area of mangrove, 4,744, 3,209, 1,484 and 1,142 ha were mapped on the islands of Boigi, Saibai, Moa and Turnagain Island respectively, which accounted for over two-thirds, 68%, of the mangroves of the central Torres Strait study area. Approximately one-third (49) of the 174 islands of central Torres Strait had mangroves. There was a significant correlation between the distribution of mangroves and the underlying geology; most of the mangroves in Torres Strait were located on coastal alluvium landform features. The mangrove basemaps have been entered into the Torres Strait Geographic Information System for future research, monitoring and conservation planning. Refer to the report: Long BG and McLeod I. (1997) Distribution of Mangroves in Torres Strait. CSIRO Marine Research. Cleveland, Australia. 17 pp.

    The CSIRO Marine Research Remote Sensing facility automatically receives and archives data from the USA's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites. Up to 18 passes per day are tracked to receive data. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data is received on the High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) signal. Within an hour of reception, these data are automatically processed into full resolution sea surface temperature (SST) images. This set of data layers have been designed to show regions of core homogeneity, heterogeneity, eddy activity and frontal activity by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, for the purposes of marine mapping, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project.

  • Project Overview: A range of solutions will be required to reach globally agreed emissions reductions targets for carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is part of the suite of technologies that will contribute to lowering atmospheric emissions of CO2 from Australia's energy system. There are a wide variety of technologies at various stages of technical and commercial readiness, with more development underway for cost effective CO2 capture and storage. Our research will provide new knowledge to inform cost-efficient measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV) of the environment of CCS projects in coastal waters. --o-- Edgetech 2000-DSS Combined Side Scan Sonar and Sub Bottom Profiler. This instrument is a combination frequency modulated (FM) dual frequency side scan sonar and a high resolution FM sub-bottom profiler. The 2000-DSS Combined Side Scan Sonar and Sub-Bottom Profiling System has two dual frequency configurations for the side scan sonar: 100/400 kHz and 300/600 kHz and 2–16 kHz sub-bottom sonar for imaging in water depths up to 2000 meters.
