This record contains the substantive results of Geoscience Australia marine survey SS08/2005 to the SW margin of Australia. The survey was completed between 28 September and 20 October 2005 using Australia’s national facility research vessel Southern Surveyor. The survey included scientists from Geoscience Australia, CSIRO – Marine and Atmospheric Research, and Victoria Museum. The survey was co‐funded by Geoscience Australia and the Department of the Environment and Heritage (now the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts). The principal aims of the survey were to explore deep‐sea habitats and processes in submarine canyons on the SW margin, and examine the geology of the underlying Mentelle Basin as an assessment for its petroleum potential.
