Description
Summary:This dataset contains bathymetry (depth) products from the compilation of all available source bathymetry data within the Kerguelen Plateau into a 100 m-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM). Heard Island and McDonald Islands are situated on the Kerguelen Plateau within the south-west Indian Ocean and lie within Australia's marine jurisdiction. Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) are surrounded by an Exclusive Economic Zone extending 200 nautical miles from their coasts and much of the Kerguelen Plateau south of Heard Island has been recognised as Australian Extended Continental Shelf by the UN Commission for the Legal Continental Shelf. The area is currently targeted by fishers licensed under the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The purpose of the bathymetry grid is to improve the geomorphic detail of seafloor features, including submarine volcanic hills on the top of the Kerguelen Plateau and a complex of submarine channels draining the southern flank of ...
