Exploration & Discovery of Australia's Oceans |
Deepreef Explorer is the website for marine geologist Dr Robin Beaman and the team of scientists working to reveal the underwater landscape and seabed habitats of Australia's regional oceans: from the warm tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, to the icy polar seas of Antarctica.
Look through our Projects section which showcases the latest ocean mapping research and discoveries, or visit our Gallery to view and download images and maps from our various projects and expeditions.
For a range of published literature about these projects, including in-depth scientific articles, reports and conference publications about our research, you can access them from the Publications list.
To view and download seabed bathymetric data in a range of formats, head to the Bathymetry section, or visit the Technology pages for more information on the variety of tools used to study the ocean floor.
Contact marine geologist Dr Rob Beaman if you want to ask any questions about the research, or visit his Biography and to follow Rob's Blog about recent ocean mapping events in the Australian region.

Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea bathymetry |
|
This dataset provides the new high-resolution bathymetry model of the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, called gbr100 (Project 3DGBR internal link here). The 100 metre-resolution gridded bathymetry dataset covers an area of about 3 million square km, from the Gulf of Papua to northern New South Wales, and easterly into the deep Coral Sea. This page provides the data in a range of formats for public download. |

Searching for a new end to the Reef |
|
James Cook University’s Robin Beaman will lead a joint JCU/University of Sydney research voyage to test whether long-term climate change could see the Great Barrier Reef head south. Dr Beaman’s team will use multibeam mapping and rock dredging equipment onboard the Marine National Facility vessel RV Southern Surveyor, to investigate Gardner Bank near Fraser Island, to determine if it could become an extension of the Great Barrier Reef. |
