Northeast Tasmania Survey 2011 (GA0331)

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Northeast Tasmania bathymetry survey acquired by Geoscience Australia and University of Tasmania during the period of 19 – 28 May 2011 onboard the RV Challenger using a Kongsberg EM3002 multibeam sonar. The Northeast Tasmania bathymetry survey was led by Dr. Scott Nichol (Geoscience Australia). The survey was conducted to broadly classify the seabed into hard (bedrock reef), soft (sedimentary) and mixed substrate types at select locations across the Northeast Tasmanian shelf. This dataset contains a 2m-resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF file of the bathymetry in the study area derived from the processed EM3002 bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. Attribution statement: Data was sourced from the NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub. The Marine Biodiversity Hub is supported through funding from the Australian Government's National Environmental Research Program (NERP), administered by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPAC). This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.
