Overview

This dataset contains a bathymetry (depth) grid of the Williams Ridge region, southeast Indian Ocean, at 100 metre resolution produced from the compilation of all available source data. These data include single beam echo sounder bathymetry data supplied by the Australian Hydrographic Office to generate the general depth model, and deep-water multibeam bathymetry data to reveal the complexity of the seafloor on Williams Ridge, Kerguelen Plateau and the surrounding abyssal plains and basins. Multibeam bathymetry data were collected during systematic surveys over Williams Ridge by Research Vessel (RV) Investigator in 2020 and RV Sonne, and on vessel transits that crossed through the region. The RV Investigator survey also collected seismic, magnetic and gravity data, and rock samples to provide new knowledge of the geological and tectonic evolution of the region (see www.mnf.csiro.au/en/voyages/IN2020_V01). Austral Fisheries also provided crowdsourced bathymetry (CSB) data from fishing vessels collected using single beam echo sounders. These fishing vessels operate within the Kerguelen Plateau and Williams Ridge region licenced under the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. Austral Fisheries CSB data were provided to the Australian Antarctic Division for restricted use in this compilation product. All source multibeam and single beam bathymetry data were edited as 3D point clouds to remove anomalous noise, and given a consistent WGS84 horizontal datum, and where possible, an approximate MSL vertical datum prior to the grid interpolation process. This dataset was developed to support the management of Australia’s marine jurisdiction and is published with permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.
