Ship data from Tasman and Coral Seas 2019 (NERC Grant NE/S01067X/1)

These data are derived from a voyage on Australia’s R/V Investigator, IN2019_v04, ‘Hotspot dynamics in the Coral Sea: connections between the Australian plate and the deep Earth’. The voyage surveyed the Tasmantid and Lord Howe Seamounts in the Tasman and Coral Seas, together with the Louisiade Plateau in the Coral Sea, sailing from Cairns on 7 Aug 2019 and arriving in Brisbane on 3 Sep 2019. The voyage summary is available at https://www.marine.csiro.au/data/reporting/get_file.cfm?eov_pub_id=1443. This directory includes the ship data, in some cases with initial onshore processing done by CSIRO technical staff (e.g., the underway data). More details are available in the README file.

Title: INSPIRE Implementing rules laying down technical arrangements for the interoperability and harmonisation of Geology

Title: Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services

Explanation: See http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2010:323:0011:0102:EN:PDF

Statement: Primary ship data collected include multibeam echosounder bathymetry data, dredge samples, magnetic data, gravity data, and sub-bottom profiler data, together with a suite of underway measurements. Additional routine measurements not directly relevant to the NERC-funded project associated with this voyage (e.g., current data, sea surface temperature data, radon data) as well as data from piggyback projects (e.g., seabird data) are not included here, but may be available from CSIRO.
