Updated 28/09/2025

This dataset contains CTD profiles collected during the Parks Australia project Exploring the Deepest Parts of Australian Marine Parks, led by the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre (MUDSRC). CTD sensors were mounted on autonomous lander frames and deployed in the Perth Canyon and Gascoyne Marine Parks. The purpose of the overall study is to characterise the environmental conditions, biodiversity, geological features, and benthic habitats of the deepest areas within Australia’s marine parks.
