Shark Bay Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Acquisition (20170029S)

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

The Shark Bay Bathymetry was derived form a time series of multispectral satellite data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite sensor, acquired between January 2017 and December 2020. This dataset was produced by the University of Western Australia to support student research projects. The dataset encompasses the Shark Bay in Western Australia. These critical geospatial data layers provide the essential environmental baseline information for the long-term monitoring and management. Mapping the shallow water zone is of importance both from an environmental and socioeconomic perspective. Bathymetry data was processed following the workflow of Lebrec et al. (2021) [https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-13-5191-2021]. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.
