Bremer, Leeuwin and Perth Canyons bathymetry survey (FK200126/GA4865)

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Bremer, Leeuwin and Perth Canyons bathymetry survey using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 multibeam sonar systems. The Bremer, Leeuwin and Perth Canyons survey (FK200126/GA4865), also known as The Great Australian Deep-Sea Coral and Canyon Adventure survey (https://schmidtocean.org/cruise/coralandcanyonadventure), was led by Dr. Julie Trotter (The University of Western Australia) and Dr. Paolo Montagna (Institute of Polar Sciences) aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel Falkor, from the 26th of January to the 25th of February 2020. The primary objective of the expedition was to map underwater landscapes in the Bremer, Leeuwin and Perth Canyons, characterise chemical and physical oceanography, and use the SOIs ROV SuBastian to capture high-definition video and collect samples. This V1 dataset contains nine 2m to 64m resolution 32-bit floating point geotiff files of the bathymetry in these three study areas and transits, derived from the processed EM302 and EM710 bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. An independently processed dataset in GSF format is available at https://www.marine-geo.org/tools/search/DataSets.php?data_set_uids=30215,30216 produced by researchers on the cruise: F. Foglini, A. Remia, J. Trotter and P. Montagna (2021; http://get.iedadata.org/doi/330215 & http://get.iedadata.org/doi/330215). This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
