The dataset covers the Australian continental EEZ, including seabed surrounding Tasmania. It does not include areas surrounding Macquarie Island, and the Australian Territories of Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, and Cocos (Keeling) Islands or Australia's marine jurisdiction off of the Territory of Heard and McDonald Islands and the Australian Antarctic Territory. This dataset supersedes previous predictions of sediment sand content for the Australian Margin with demonstrated improvements in accuracy. Accuracy of predictions varies based on density of underlying data and level of seabed complexity. Artefacts occur in this dataset as a result of insufficient samples in relevant regions. This dataset is intended for use at national and regional scales. The dataset may not be appropriate for use at local scales in areas where sample density is insufficient to detect local variation in sediment properties. To obtain the most accurate interpretation of sediment distribution in these areas, it is recommended that additional samples be collected and interpolations updated. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[109.2334, -47.1982], [163.1934, -47.1982], [163.1934, -8.8882], [109.2334, -8.8882], [109.2334, -47.1982]]]} 109.2334 163.1934 -47.1982 -8.8882 AU-EEZ Earth Sciences GIS Dataset National National dataset Published_External geoscience mapping marine marine jurisdiction seabed sedimentology File download documentDigital Download the file (misc) ZIP Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
