The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI176 at Macquarie Island in December 1993. The main survey area was adjacent to the north-east coast between North Head and The Nuggets. Survey lines were also followed part way down the west coast of the island and in the vicinity of Judge and Clerk Islets and Bishop and Clerk Islets. 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 LT A.J.Withers. The data are not suitable for navigation.

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 933 See the link below for public details on this project. Australian Antarctic and Southern Ocean Profiling Project (AASOPP) was the outcome of a government decision in 1999 that it would carry out the necessary work to place Australia in a position to be able to prepare a submission defining the outer limit the 'extended Continental Shelf' (ECS) off the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT). The ECS is the area of seabed/subsoil jurisdiction extending beyond the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone, and is defined by Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. AASOPP was set up in 2000, under the management of the Department of Finance and Administration and in consultation with the Australian Antarctic Division, to undertake the acquisition and interpretation of the data that would underpin a UN submission. Technical aspects of the work were largely the responsibility of the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (later Geoscience Australia). Marine geophysical surveys were conducted in 2001/2 and 2002/3 by the primary contractors, FUGRO Geoteam supervised by AGSO (Geoscience Australia) using the vessels Geoarctic and Polar Duke (survey numbers GA227, GA228 and GA229). Data collected were seismic reflection, sonobuoy seismic refraction, magnetic and gravity profiles. Data processing was supervised by Geoscience Australia where they are archived. Seismic data were lodged with the SCAR Seismic Data Library. Law of the Sea interpretations were lodged as part of the Australian submission to the United Nations by November, 2004 with a request not to examine the Antarctic case until requested.

Hydrographic survey HI468 by the RAN Australian Hydrographic Service at Davis, January to March 2010
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.

The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI545 at Casey, December 2013 to January 2014. The survey areas were Newcomb Bay and O'Brien Bay. A multibeam sonar system was used. 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 on request. The survey was lead by LT P.S.Waring. The data are not suitable for navigation.

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.

Royal Australian Navy soundings of approaches to Casey Station. This fair sheet, HI 189 V5/584 6610/1 scale 1:25 000, 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 caseybathy_gis.

This dataset contains bathymetry (water depth), ship's heading, ship's speed and position data collected during the Nella Dan Voyage 5 1985-86. This voyage visited Davis, Mawson, Casey and Edgeworth David, as well as carrying out marine science research in Prydz Bay. Data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (see Related URL below).
