Launching GEBCO’s Vision to bring knowledge about our planet’s seabed to everyone Open
GEBCO – the General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean programme – was funded in 1903 by Prince Albert I of Monaco to deliver “the most authoritative, publicly available bathymetry of the world’s oceans” by providing bathymetry data to the wor…

AUSSEABED: A NATIONAL PROGRAM OF COLLABORATION TO MAXIMISE AUSTRALIA’S SEABED MAPPING EFFORTS Open
High quality seabed data are fundamental to a wide range of engineering, management and science research applications stretching from shallow-water coastal environments, across the shelf and out on to the abyssal sea floor. Coastal applica…

Developing an ocean best practice: A case study of marine sampling practices from Australia Open
Since 2012, there has been a surge in the numbers of marine science publications that use the term ‘best practice’, yet the term is not often defined, nor is the process behind the best practice development described. Importantly a ‘best p…

Cretaceous to Cenozoic controls on the genesis of the shelf-incising Perth Canyon; insights from a two-part geomorphology mapping approach Open
Perth Canyon is Australia's second largest submarine canyon, and its shelf-incising morphology contrasts with the more prolific slope-confined canyons that typify Australia's passive continental margin. The canyon has a sinuous course that…

Transferable, predictive models of benthic communities informs marine spatial planning in a remote and data‐poor region Open
Systematic conservation planning requires spatial information on biodiversity. Such information is often unavailable, forcing spatial planning to rely on assumed relationships between species and environmental features. This problem is par…

Seafloor Mapping – The Challenge of a Truly Global Ocean Bathymetry Open
Detailed knowledge of the shape of the seafloor is crucial to humankind. Bathymetry data is critical for safety of navigation and is used for many other applications. In an era of ongoing environmental degradation worldwide, bathymetry dat…

Origin of High Density Seabed Pockmark Fields and Their Use in Inferring Bottom Currents Open
Some of the highest density pockmark fields in the world have been observed on the northwest Australian continental shelf (>700/km2) where they occur in muddy, organic-rich sediment around carbonate banks and paleochannels. Here we develop…

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 search data reveal geomorphology and seafloor processes in the remote southeast Indian Ocean Open
A high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) dataset covering over 279,000km2 was acquired in the southeastern Indian Ocean to assist the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) that disappeared on 8 March 2014. The data provided…
