On the Use of Abiotic Surrogates to Describe Marine Benthic Biodiversity
A growing need to manage marine biodiversity at local, regional and global scales cannot be met by applying the limited existing biological data sets. Abiotic surrogacy is... -
Australian Marine Video and Imagery
Unlike land based environments, relatively little is known about what the seafloor around Australia looks like or has living on it. Geoscience Australia undertakes a range of... -
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... -
