Amery Ice Shelf seismic anisotropy survey

Perpendicular seismic refraction profiles collected at 11 sites along and across the ice flow unit boundary between ice units coming from the Lambert Glacier and the Mawson Escarpment Ice Stream. Survey sites are located upstream of Gillock Island.

Satellite Remote Sensing - Satellite Contributed Ocean Colour - SeaWIFS Chlorophyll Concentration in the Southern Ocean: Weekly, Johnson et al 2013

The Aqua and Orbview satellites carry a MODIS and SeaWIFS sensors (respectively) that observes sunlight reflected from within the ocean surface layer at multiple wavelengths. These multi-spectral measurements are used to infer the concentration of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), most typically due to phytoplankton, present in the water. There are multiple retrieval algorithms for estimating Chl-a and aggregating the data over time. This data set is a reprocessed copy of 9km monthly and 8-day versions produced globally by NASA, adjusted for the Southern Ocean south of latitude 30S. The full methodology is described in Johnson, R., Strutton, P.G., Wright, S.W., McMinn, A., Meiners, K.M., 2013. Three improved satellite chlorophyll algorithms for the Southern Ocean. Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. doi: 10.1002/jgrc.20270. It is expected that the data set will be periodically updated with contemporary data as it becomes available. There are four sub-streams within this data set. A monthly and an 8-day series for MODIS/Aqua and similarly for SeaWIFS. Note that SeaWIFS ceased operation in late 2010 so there will be no further SeaWIFS data. The data represented by this record is weekly data for SeaWIFS.

NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Theme 1 - Tasman Fracture Commonwealth Marine Reserve Pilot Study - Baited remote underwater stereo video (BRUV) Component

The Tasman Fracture CMR AUV survey was a pilot study undertaken in 2014/15 as part of the National Marine Biodiversity Hub's National monitoring, evaluation and reporting theme. The aim of this theme is to develop a bluepint for the sustained monitoring of the South-east Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network. The particular aim of the survey was to contribute to an inventory of the distribution and abundance of demersal fishes in the reserve and adjacent reference sites using BRUVs. Data contained here represents footage collected using these drops and the associated scored data (abundance and lengths).

NESP MBH A1 Euryhaline Elasmobranchs community communications outputs

This record relates to communications outputs of a research project which centered around working with Indigenous communities to raise the profile of the Largetooth Sawfish and support community driven conservation efforts. Some of the items are intended for public viewing (videos and educational signage); but the other outputs are intended for use by the Indigenous communities involved in the sampling (trip reports and Malak Malak annual floodplain sampling protocol and I-Tracker data collection application).

Temperate Australian quantitative spatial and temporal abundance data for rocky reef biota (biodiversity): long-term Tasmanian MPAs - Ninepin Point

The data is quantitative abundance of fish and megafaunal invertebrates and algal % cover derived from transect based counts at a wide range of locations across Temperate Australia. The methods are described in detail in Edgar and Barrett (1997). Primarily the data are derived from transects at 5 m depth and/or 10 m depth at each site surveyed. Methods were initially developed for research on temporal changes following protection in Tasmanian long-term MPAs (Maria Is, Tinderbox, Ninepin Point, Governor Island), and the data represented by this record has been collected at Ninepin Point. In many cases the dataset involves temporal replication (year scale), particularly for the core Tasmanian MPAs represented by this record.

Nearshore temperature monitoring in Tasmanian coastal waters

Temperature loggers have been deployed at a range of sites statewide in waters ranging between 6 and 22m depth. From 2012, 29 sites around Tasmania are being monitored. This record shows data collected from 2004 up to March 2025. Data is still being collected (July 2025) and will be added to this collection as it becomes available.

Short-tailed shearwater stable isotope data

Short-tailed shearwater stable isotope data, nitrogen and carbon. This data was collected to document dietary trends.

Station 9 Temperature and Salinity profile - Derwent Estuary (Aug2012 - Jan 2013)

Samples of Temperature and Salinity from a CTD profile have been measured at Station 9 in the Derwent Estuary between August 2012 and January 2013.

Temperature and Salinity profiles - Derwent Estuary (Aug2012 - Jan 2013)

Samples of Temperature and Salinity from a CTD profile have been measured at 6 Stations in the Derwent Estuary between August 2012 and January 2013.

Rock lobster (Jasus edwardsii) movement and behaviour data

The movement and behaviour of the Southern Rock Lobster (Jasus edwardsii) was monitored using a radio acoustic telemetry systems at two sites in eastern Tasmania.
