Gridded bathymetry from multibeam echosounder HS-DS2 data of the cruise M52/1 (2002)

Bathymetry based on data recorded during M52-1 between 02.01.2002 and 01.02.2002 in the Black Sea. The cruise was focused on studying the distribution, structure and architecture of gas hydrate deposits in the Black Sea as well as their relationship to fluid migration pathways. While high-resolution geoacoustic investigation tools covering a whole range of frequencies and techniques render detailed images of near-surface gas hydrates and associated fluid migration pathways.

Airborne hyperspectral image data of Heron Reef, Australia

This airborne hyperspectral (19 bands) image data of Heron Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia is derived from Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) data acquired on 1st and 3rd of July 2002, latitude -23.45, longitude 151.92. Processing and correction to at-surface data was completed by Karen Joyce (Joyce, 2004). Raw imagery consisted several images corresponding to the number of flight paths taken to cover the entire Heron Reef. Spatial resolution is one meter. Radiometric corrections converted the at-sensor digital number values to at surface spectral radiance values using sensor specific calibration coefficients and CSIRO's c-WomBat-c atmospheric correction software. Geometric corrections were done using field collected coordinates of features identified in the image. Projection used was Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 56 South and Datum used was WGS 84. Image data is in TIFF format.
