    From the first week in May 1987 until the end of 2018, when they were on their property "Koobabbie" in the Northern Wheatbelt of WA, Alison and John Doley collected data on every species of bird they saw each week. Data were recorded on a booklet prepared by CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Rangelands Research for its 1987-1990 bird atlas (Saunders and Ingram 1995). This booklet provided a list of all species known to have occurred in the central wheatbelt and divided the year into 12 months and each month into four weeks; that is, each year had 48 weeks of potential observations. Any species seen on "Koobabbie" that was not listed on the booklet was added to the list. The Doleys also made extensive notes about their observations at the back of each year’s booklet. These notes, together with the raw presence data, comprise this data set. The data recorded each week consisted of a tick for every species seen that week. For example, one Red-capped Robin seen once during a week was recorded as a tick, as were 100 Galahs seen every day of that week.

    During 1970, Carnaby's Black Cockatoos, C. latirostris were shot in Western Australian pine plantations at Gnangara and Somerville (now the Perth suburbs of Murdoch, Winthrop and Booragoon) and in pine plantations and native forest to the east of Mundaring and Sawyers Valley. These photographs are of Carnaby's Black Cockatoo tails and have an accompanying excel file with recorded specimen data, derived from original specimen sheets.

    This record describes the End of Voyage archive from the Marine National Facility RV Investigator trial voyage IN2015_E04 Titled: Trace Metals and Micronutrients. This voyage departed Hobart on the 25th April and returned to Hobart on the 28th April, 2015. Data collected includes Underway (UWY), Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP: 75, 150 kHz), SST Radiometer, Atmospheric data (Absorption Photometer, Nephelometer, Ozone, Radon), Greenhouse data (Aerodyne and Picarro), Underway pCO2, Echosounders (12, 18, 38, 70, 120, 200, 333, kHz), Multibeam (EM122, EM710, ME70 and SBP120) and Trace Metal Rosette (TMR) data. The EOV paper documentation - Multibeam (EM120, EM710 and SBP120) is archived c/o the Data Centre in Hobart and the location entered in the records management system TRIM, reference "in2015_e04". Voyage documentation including paper logs and elogs is archived electronically and accessible via the local network "global_docs" archive location. The archive for the IN2015_E04 EOV data will be held temporarily within the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Data Centre in Hobart with a permanent archive to be located at the CSIRO Data Access Portal (DAP) with access to participants and processors of the data collected on the Marine National Facility RV Investigator IN2015_E04.

    Using the Land-Use Trade-Offs (LUTO) model, this data collection was produced via a comprehensive, detailed, integrated, and quantitative scenario analysis of land-use and sustainability for Australia’s intensive-use agricultural land to 2050, under intersecting global change and domestic policies, and considering key uncertainties. We assessed land use competition between multiple land uses and assessed sustainability of economic returns and multiple ecosystem services at high spatial (1.1 km grid cell) and temporal (annual) resolution. Results available are for 648 scenarios covering combinations of four global outlooks, three general circulation climate models, three domestic land-use policies, three productivity growth rates, three land-use change adoption hurdle rates, and two capacity constraint settings. Outputs included for each scenario are: - annual land-use layers - summary data table - graphical dashboard summary - animation of potential land-use change, drivers, and impacts. This analysis was conducted in conjunction with CSIRO’s Australian National Outlook 2015 initiative to assess future potential land-use change and the impacts for the sustainability of ecosystem services. A full description of the methods and synthesis of the results can be found in the papers listed in the Related Information below and freely available via email from the author. The data is provided to support a national conversation on the future for Australian land systems, public decision-making and policy design, and further scientific research.

    Machine-readable representation of the classifiers described in chapter 8 Soil Profile, by R.C. McDonald and R.F. Isbell, in Australian soil and land survey field handbook (3rd edn). A soil profile is a vertical section of a soil from the soil surface through all its horizons to parent material, other consolidated substrate material or selected depth in unconsolidated material.

    Machine-readable representation of the classifiers described in chapter 5 Landform, by J.G. Speight, in Australian soil and land survey field handbook (3rd edn). In this technique for describing landforms, the whole land surface is viewed as a mosaic of tiles of odd shapes and sizes. The scheme is intended to produce a record of observations rather than inferences.

    Archive of biogeochemical data from case study and research cruise in seven estuaries of the eastern Gulf of Carpentaria. Data were collected via two observational methods: 1) 24-36hr time series of hourly discrete samples and water-column profiles 2) Spatial surveys at approximately low tide, which include discrete samples and water-column profiles collected along the river-ocean axis of estuaries. A small number of discrete samples of porewater were also collected from bore holes to approximately 2m depth. Datasets include carbon, nutrients, sediment particle size, metals, phytoplankton photopigments, CDOM (chromophoric dissolved organic matter), and vertical profiles of salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity chlorophyll a fluorescence, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM).

    The data relate to a comparison of breeding Carnaby's Cockatoo use of artificial and natural hollows at Coomallo Creek in Western Australia. The data were used in Saunders, D. A., Dawson, R., Mawson, P. R. and Cunningham, R. B. (2020) Artificial hollows provide an effective short-term solution to the loss of natural nesting hollows for Carnaby’s Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus latirostris.
