Temporal and fine-scale variation in the biogeochemistry of Jervis Bay
The identification of suitable abiotic surrogates for biological diversity requires the collection of both physical and biological data. However, logistical constraints often... -
Australian Marine Video and Imagery
Unlike land based environments, relatively little is known about what the seafloor around Australia looks like or has living on it. Geoscience Australia undertakes a range of... -
Carnarvon Shelf Survey Post-Cruise Report
This report provides a description of the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub's survey of the Carnarvon Shelf, Western Australia, in August and September, 2008. The survey was a... -
Lord Howe Island feeding guild spreadsheet
Geoscience Australia carried out a marine survey on Lord Howe Island shelf (NSW) in 2008 (SS06_2008) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic environments through... -
Jervis Bay Infaunal species level data
Geoscience Australia carried out marine surveys in Jervis Bay (NSW) in 2007, 2008 and 2009 (GA303, GA305, GA309, GA312) to map seabed bathymetry and characterise benthic... -

Mapping and characterising soft-sediment habitats, and evaluating physical...
A series of short field surveys in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, were undertaken by Geoscience Australia staff as part of the Surrogates Program in the Commonwealth Environmental... -
Geomorphology and Habitats of Shelf Reefs, Southeast Tasmania
Flythrough movie showing the bathymetry of the shelf along the coast of southeast Tasmania, highlighting rock reefs as benthic habitats. The bathymetric image is derived from... -
Video and still images from SOL4769 (Carnarvon Shelf)
The Carnarvon Shelf Survey (SOL4769, GA survey #0308) was conducted on the R.V. Solander in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Marine Science between 12 August and... -
Novel method to concurrently sample the planktobenthos and benthos
The planktobenthos is an important area with unique environmental conditions and represents the immediate link between the benthos and the water column. Despite its close links... -
Geomorphology of the Lord Howe Island Shelf and Submarine Volcano SS06-2008...
The Lord Howe Island survey SS06-2008 in April 2008 aboard the RV Southern Surveyor was a collaboration between the University of Wollongong and Geoscience Australia. The survey... -
Including biogeochemical factors and a temporal component in benthic habitat...
Mapping of benthic habitats seldom considers biogeochemical variables or changes across time. We aimed to: (i) develop winter and summer benthic habitat maps for a sandy... -
Geomorphology and Habitats of the Carnarvon Shelf
Flythrough movie showing the bathymetry of Carnarvon shelf, highlighting benthic habitats at Point Cloates. The bathymetric image is derived from multibeam sonar collected in... -
Videos from Jervis Bay surveys
Several surveys to Jervis Bay, NSW were conducted between 2008 and 2009 to trial newly acquired Multibeam and video equipment, and to collect bathymetry and backscatter data,... -

Effects of Abiotic Stressors on Infaunal Burrowing and Associated Sediment...
Infauna play key roles in nutrient cycling and bioturbation by facilitating exchange across the sediment-water interface, but the effects of environmental stressors on the... -

A Review of Surrogates for Marine Benthic Biodiversity
A growing need to manage marine biodiversity sustainably at local, regional and global scales cannot be met by applying the limited existing biological data. Abiotic surrogates... -
The application of physical surrogates as tools for benthic habitat mapping:...
The identification of marine habitats based on physical parameters is increasingly important for marine reserve design, allowing characterisation of habitat types over much...
