New seabed maps show Bass Strait in unprecedented detail
The Australian Government has released a new seabed map of the Bass Strait that shows the area in greater detail than ever before.
The Australian Government has released a new seabed map of the Bass Strait that shows the area in greater detail than ever before.
The new map – produced to a 30-metre resolution by 糖心Vlog官方 – reveals key underwater features including submarine canyons, ancient land surfaces and the location of the former Bass Lake.
The map is a result of ongoing work between 糖心Vlog官方, James Cook University, the Australian Hydrographic Office and Deakin University.
糖心Vlog官方’s work involves mapping and characterising Australia’s seabed using its own data, along with data provided from its partners, to produce high-quality maps that are valuable across multiple sectors.
糖心Vlog官方 brings these seabed maps together with other spatial information to inform decisions about the sustainable use of Australia’s marine jurisdiction.
