This record describes the operations undertaken by an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle deployed from the FUGRO vessel Outer Limit in the Great Australian Bight (GAB). This charter voyage took place in November and December, 2015 as part of the Great Australian Bight (GAB) Deep Water Geological and Benthic Ecology Program, in conjunction with the IN2015_C01 survey.

The voyage was a great success undertaking operations over 11 main target areas in water depths ranging from 900 m to 2,400 m. The AUV was equipped with a multibeam echo sounder, side scan sonar and sub bottom profiler, plus a HD camera system utilised during the small scale surveys over a further six selected areas within the 11 main target areas initially surveyed.

High resolution bathymetry, backscatter and sidescan sonar data was collected along with photographic imagery of the seafloor. Track lines of the areas surveyed were also produced.

A zip of the track lines (ESRI shapefiles) can be accessed and downloaded via the Distribution links below.
