GMRT-AusSeabed

Completing the puzzle for seabed maps

The GMRT-AusSeabed project will enable users to create their own seamless seabed maps using AusSeabed datasets. Through a cloud-based platform, users will be able to select, prioritise and merge available datasets together to then grid them at their preferred resolution (data allowing). The project will deliver a prototype platform in June 2022 that will focus on bathymetry data, but will seed future AusSeabed activities.

The project has three components:

User-needs survey

A community survey to ensure we develop the platform end-users want.
Engaged over 800 individuals and based on 95 responses.

Data subset

A diverse collection of bathymetry datasets in a test region of the Bass Strait
Used in the development and testing of the platform, as well as in improving best-practices for data collection and management.
Openly accessible on the AusSeabed Marine Data Portal

GMRT-AusSeabed platform

A prototype built from existing technology called the Global Multi-Resolution Topography synthesis, developed by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observation group (link to GMRT).
Enables users to create their own seabed maps according to their needs.
Linked to the AusSeabed Data Hub.
