The database is complete for over 11,000 beaches around Australia. The survey data collected includes: number of beaches, beach location, zoning, beach type/rating, roads/town, beach geomorphology, beach morphodynamics, access/facilities, barrier/drainage key, maps and air photos and beach sediment. Sediment samples (~4000) of both beach and dune sands were also collected during the development of the database. This data resides with Geoscience Australia in Canberra. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[140.0, -43.0], [150.0, -43.0], [150.0, -37.5], [140.0, -37.5], [140.0, -43.0]]]} 140.0 150.0 -43.0 -37.5 Oceans | Coastal Processes | Beaches Oceans | Coastal Processes | Erosion Oceans | Coastal Processes | Sediment Transport Oceans | Coastal Processes | Sedimentation ABSMP_data20a.xls documentDigital Summary of ABSAMP data XLS ABSAMP database access and usage information documentDigital HTML Access to the ABSAMP database via SurfGuard (requires registration) documentDigital HTML Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
