Still Images and Videos from Tasmanian Shelf survey
The Tasmanian Shelf survey was conducted on the Challenger in collaboration with the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute between the 13-16th June, 2008 and 23rd... -
Geomorphology and Habitats of the Lord Howe Island Shelf
Flythrough movie showing the bathymetry of the shelf surrounding Lord Howe Island (NSW), with examples of seabed habitats and biota. The bathymetric image is derived from merged... -
Temporal and fine-scale variation in the biogeochemistry of Jervis Bay
The identification of suitable abiotic surrogates for biological diversity requires the collection of both physical and biological data. However, logistical constraints often... -
Jervis Bay Infaunal species level data
Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic... -
Effects of Abiotic Stressors on Infaunal Burrowing and Associated Sediment...
Infauna play key roles in nutrient cycling and bioturbation by facilitating exchange across the sediment-water interface, but the effects of environmental stressors on the... -
Novel method to concurrently sample the planktobenthos and benthos
The planktobenthos is an important area with unique environmental conditions and represents the immediate link between the benthos and the water column. Despite its close links... -
Carnarvon Shelf Survey Post-Cruise Report
This report provides a description of the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub's survey of the Carnarvon Shelf, Western Australia, in August and September, 2008. The survey was a... -
Backscatter grid of Lord Howe Island
Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Lord Howe Island shelf (NSW) in 2008 (SS062008) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through... -
The application of physical surrogates as tools for benthic habitat mapping:...
The identification of marine habitats based on physical parameters is increasingly important for marine reserve design, allowing characterisation of habitat types over much... -
Seabed exposure and ecological disturbance on Australia's continental shelf:...
Disturbances characterise many natural environments - on land, a forest fire that removes a patch of old-growth trees is an example. The trees that first colonise the vacant... -
Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) for mapping marine biodiversity in...
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have only recently become available as a tool to investigate the biological and physical composition of the seabed utilizing a suite of... -
A Review of Surrogates for Marine Benthic Biodiversity
A growing need to manage marine biodiversity sustainably at local, regional and global scales cannot be met by applying the limited existing biological data. Abiotic surrogates... -
