Detailed knowledge of the shape seafloor is crucial to humankind. Bathymetry data critical for safety navigation and used many other applications. In an era ongoing environmental degradation worldwide, bathymetry (and derived from it) play a pivotal role in using managing world's oceans way that accordance with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 - conserve sustainably use oceans, seas marine resources sustainable development. However, vast majority our still virtually unmapped,...
GEBCO – the General Bathymetric Chart of Ocean programme was funded in 1903 by Prince Albert I Monaco to deliver “the most authoritative, publicly available bathymetry world’s oceans” providing data world. Bathymetry is necessary for mapping and charting underwater features topography seabed.Today, an internationally recognised well-respected that operates under joint auspices International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) United Nations...
A high-resolution multibeam echosounder (MBES) dataset covering over 279,000 km2 was acquired in the southeastern Indian Ocean to assist search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) that disappeared on 8 March 2014. The data provided an essential geospatial framework and is first large-scale coverage of MBES this region. Here we report geomorphic analyses new data, including a comparison with Global Seafloor Geomorphic Features Map (GSFM) based coarser resolution satellite altimetry...
Perth Canyon is Australia's second largest submarine canyon, and its shelf-incising morphology contrasts with the more prolific slope-confined canyons that typify passive continental margin. The canyon has a sinuous course extends 120 km from shelf break (~180 m depth) to fan at foot of slope (~4500 m). Though initiates only 50 offshore major city, genesis geomorphic stability have not been well understood. Bathymetry data acquired in 2015 by Schmidt Ocean Institute enabled application new...
Some of the highest density pockmark fields in world have been observed on northwest Australian continental shelf (>700/km2) where they occur muddy, organic-rich sediment around carbonate banks and paleochannels. Here we developed a semi-automated method to map quantify form these (~220,000 pockmarks) characterise their geochemical, sedimentological biological properties provide insight into formative processes. These data indicate that pockmarks formed due release gas derived from...
Since 2012, there has been a surge in the numbers of marine science publications that use term ‘best practice’, yet is not often defined, nor process behind best practice development described. Importantly practice’ more than documented an individual or institution uses and considers good. This article describes rigorous to develop ocean using examples from case study Australia which suite nine standard operating procedures were released 2018 have since become national practices. The...
A rich trove of marine geophysical data acquired in the search for missing flight MH370 is yielding knowledge ocean floor processes at a level detail rare deep ocean.
Abstract Systematic conservation planning requires spatial information on biodiversity. Such is often unavailable, forcing to rely assumed relationships between species and environmental features. This problem particularly acute in large, remote marine protected areas that are proliferating rapidly. Here, we use models predict whether (a) macrobenthic biodiversity across four taxa (gorgonians, soft corals, hard sponges) with different life histories congruent within seascape features through...
The primary objective of this guideline is thus to establish common approaches acquisition and processing that will result in greater applicability interoperability swath acoustic mapping data. These also provide improved consistency the collection description data, increasing utility.
