Field Manuals for Marine Sampling in Australian Waters, Version 2.
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2020)
The Marine Biodiversity Hub has developed a suite of field manuals to ensure that data collected by marine sampling platforms at different times and places across Australia are directly comparable.
The Marine Sampling ...
CATAMI classification scheme for scoring marine biota and sub-strata in underwater imagery. Version 1.4.
(National Environmental Research Program, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2014)
Transforming raw underwater imagery into quantitative information useful for science and
policy decisions requires substantial manual effort by human experts. This process will soon
become unsustainable as the volume of ...
Seafloor Mapping Field Manual for Multibeam Sonar [Version 1]. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
This manual refers to the use of multibeam or interferometric echosounders (referred herein as just
multibeam or MBES) to conduct surveys of seafloor bathymetry and backscatter that can be used to
derive maps of ...
Field Manuals for Marine Sampling to Monitor Australian Waters, Version 1. [SUPERSEDED by DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25607/OBP-918]
(NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2018)
Australia has one of the world’s largest marine estates that includes many vulnerable habitats and a high biodiversity, with many endemic species crossing a wide latitudinal range. The marine estate is used by a variety ...
Data Discoverability and Accessibility Report from July 2019 Workshop on Marine Imagery.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2019)
There are increasing incentives for marine researchers to share their data, but the will of the marine community to share data has often not yet caught up with our capabilities. Marine imagery and associated annotation, ...
Scoping of new field manuals for marine sampling in Australian waters. Report to the National Environmental Science Programme.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra, Australia, 2019)
A suite of field manuals was released by the NESP Marine Hub in early 2018 to facilitate a national monitoring framework, with a focus on seven marine sampling platforms: multibeam sonar, autonomous underwater vehicles, ...
AusSeabed Community Guidelines: Satellite Derived Bathymetry
(AusSeabed, Canberra, Australia, 2022)
The Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) guidelines are intended to provide users of SDB sourced from the AusSeabed portal with the required knowledge to appropriately use SDB datasets. This is not a guide on how to produce ...
Australian Multibeam Guidelines [Version 2]
The primary objective of this guideline is thus to establish common approaches of acquisition
and processing that will result in greater applicability and interoperability of swath acoustic
mapping data. These approaches ...
Data discoverability and accessibility Report from workshops on marine imagery and biological specimen data, September 2018.
(Geoscience Australia, Marine Biodiversity Hub, Canberra Australia, 2019)
As the rate of marine data acquisition increases, so too does the need for that data to abide by the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles. From the nation’s perspective, a coherent and assessable ...
Australian Sub-bottom Profiling Guidelines: AusSeabed Community Guidelines.
(Geoscience Australia, Canberra, Australia, 2023)
The Australian Sub-bottom Profiling (SBP) Guidelines are intended to establish a standardised approach to the acquisition of SBP data in an Australian context. Developed by the AusSeabed community, the aim is to provide ...
