The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI350 at Mawson, January to March 2002. The survey area was north of the station between Williams Rocks and Parallactic Islands and also at Moller Bank. The survey dataset, which includes metadata, was provided to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by the Australian Hydrographic Office and is available for download from a Related URL in this metadata record. The survey was lead by LCDR M.Pounder. The data are not suitable for navigation.

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 1119 See the link below for public details on this project. A marked bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain supposedly resulted from a recent major reorganization of the plate-mantle system there 50 million years ago. Although alternative mantle-driven and plate-shifting hypotheses have been proposed, no contemporaneous circum-Pacific plate events have been identified. We report reconstructions for Australia and Antarctica that reveal a major plate reorganization between 50 and 53 million years ago. Revised Pacific Ocean sea-floor reconstructions suggest that subduction of the Pacific-Izanagi spreading ridge and subsequent Marianas/Tonga-Kermadec subduction initiation may have been the ultimate causes of these events. Thus, these plate reconstructions solve long-standing continental fit problems and improve constraints on the motion between East and West Antarctica and global plate circuit closure.

The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI290 at Heard Island, February to March 1997. The survey dataset, which includes the Report of Survey, was provided to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by the Australian Hydrographic Office and is available for download from a Related URL in this metadata record. The survey was lead by LT R.D.Bowden. The spatial extent given in this metadata record is that of Heard Island as the spatial extent of the survey is unknown to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. The data are not suitable for navigation.

The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI364 at Mawson, January to March 2003. The survey areas were north-west and south-west of the station. The survey dataset, which includes metadata, was provided to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by the Australian Hydrographic Office and is available for download from a Related URL in this metadata record. The survey was lead by LCDR M.B.Rigby. The data are not suitable for navigation.

Royal Australian Navy soundings of approaches to Davis Station. This fair sheet, HI 171 V5/519-6877/91 scale 1:5000, was hand digitised to capture soundings as point data. The data are not suitable for navigation. Bathymetric contours derived from these and other soundings are available from the metadata record with ID davisbathy_gis.

Royal Australian Navy soundings of approaches to Mawson, hand digitised from HI 169 V5/516 6762/3 (sheet 2) scale 1:10 000. The data are not suitable for navigation. Bathymetric contours derived from these and other soundings are available from the metadata record with ID mawsonbathy_gis.

The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI468 at Davis, January to March 2010. The survey was conducted jointly with Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division. The main survey area was near Davis but additional survey lines were followed to Long Fjord to the north and to Crooked Fjord and the Sorsdal Glacier in the south. The survey dataset, which includes the Report of Survey, was provided to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by the Australian Hydrographic Office and is available from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by request. The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service team was lead by LCDR R.D.Bowden. The data are not suitable for navigation. Geoscience Australia produced bathymetric and backscatter gridded datasets from the survey data which are available via the metadata record 'Coastal seabed mapping survey, Vestfold Hills, Antarctica, February-March 2010' with Entry ID: Davis_multibeam_grids. The Australian Antarctic Division produced two bathymetric maps from the survey data. See Related URLs in this metadata record.

This dataset contains bathymetry (water depth), ship's heading, ship's speed and position data collected during the Nella Dan Voyage 7 1986-87. This was a marine science voyage which also visited Davis. Data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (see Related URL below).

This dataset comprises Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of varying resolutions for the George V and Terre Adelie continental margin, derived by incorporating all available singlebeam and multibeam point depth data into ESRI ArcGIS grids. The purpose was to provide revised DEMs for Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) researchers who required accurate, high-resolution depth models for correlating seabed biota data against the physical environment. The DEM processing method utilised all individual multibeam and singlebeam depth points converted to geographic xyz (long/lat/depth) ASCII files. In addition, an ArcGIS line shapefile of the East Antarctic coastline showing the grounding lines of coastal glaciers and floating ice shelves, was converted to a xyz ASCII file with 0 m as the depth value. Land elevation data utilised the Radarsat Antarctic Mapping Project (RAMP) 200 m DEM data converted to xyz ASCII data. All depth, land and coastline ASCII files were input to Fledermaus 3DEditor visualisation software for removal of noisy data. The cleaned point data were then binned into a gridded surface using Fledermaus DMagic software, resulting in a 0.001-arcdegree (~100 m) resolution DEM with holes where no input data exists. ArcGIS Topogrid software was used to interpolate across the holes to output a full-coverage DEM. ArcGIS was used to produce the additional 0.0025-arcdegree (~250 m) and 0.005-arcdegree (~500 m) resolution grids.
