How do I download a single layer or survey?

There are multiple ways for users to download raster data of a particular layer which are highlighted below. Users are able to download bathymetry datasets via the About section of the Layer. This method only works with datasets under Elevation and Depth > Bathymetry – Compilations, and Bathymetry – Survey.

Click on the Layer (1).

Add (2) the Layer to the map panel.

Click on the About (3) section of the layer.

The About section of the layer will populated with the abstract of the data, as well as a Link (4) to the metadata record on eCat (Geoscience Australia’s metadata system).

The layer is also available to download as a GeoTIFF by clicking on Download (1). The time it takes to download these layers may vary depending on your computer connection. Your browser may block pop-ups, so please ensure that you enable pop-ups to occur.

How do I download data via the Index Layer?

You are also able to download the data via the Inspection Tool. Additionally, you need to ensure that the layer is added to the map for the Inspection tool to select the layer.

Click on Tools (1).

Select Inspection Tool (2).

The Inspection tool will show the link to download the layer as a GeoTIFF (3).

How do I use the Select function?

The Select (previously known as Clip Zip and Ship) functionality allows users to obtain raster data for a region of interest in their preferred format and projection. The output will be a zip file sent to the users email.

Click on the Select (1) tool.

Select Draw Extent to draw a bounding box around your Area of Interest or manually enter coordinates, and click on Draw Extent (3).

Select Search (4) to bring up all the datasets available to clip.

Select the datasets you want to clip (1).

(2) Visualise the dataset in the map (optional).

Select the preferred file Format (3) from the drop down menu.

Select the preferred Projection (4)* from the drop down menu.

Select the preferred Resampling Method (5)* from the drop down menu.

Your Email (6) is required to receive the data.

Click Submit Job (7).

Once the Select tool is successful, you will be sent an email with a zip file to download; data must be downloaded within 48 hours of the request. You will also be sent an email if issues were encountered. If you prefer to download the entire dataset in its original projection and format, it is recommended that you do this via Geoscience Australia’s system via the .

If you have received an email with no data returned, please check that your Area of Interest contains data to clip.

*The methods used to resample and project the data can be found here.

How do I use the MH370 Database Search Tool?

This is an interactive analytical tool for spatially querying and downloading the full collection of MH370 Phase 2 data stored on the National Computational Infrastructure at the Australian National University.
