Note: Surveys were completed over the areas listed under "Area Surveyed" however the datasets are still being delivered and thus may be a subset of these.

The Common Dataset will be loaded on an 1TB hard drive. You will receive all the data sets collected and the disk is yours to keep.

Cost: $220 + postage from NZ.
The cost is in New Zealand dollars.

Request for Shallow Survey 2012 Common Dataset

The harbour and surrounding coastal area has a number of well-defined features, including the wrecks South Seas and Wellington, an armoured seawall constructed of Tetrapods and Akmons along the southern boundary of the airport, aquifers, wharves and marinas.

The seabed inside the harbour basin is largely fine-grained sediment, with gravel and reefs around the coast. The area outside the harbour on the southern coast is an active environment, with moving sand and exposed reefs. A marine reserve is also in this area.

The dataset will be provided by June 2011. This will allow time for the data to be processed and analysed, and papers presented on the results.

For more information, take a look at the common dataset document.

Reson photos by Dave Allen Colin Russell, Richard Fotheringham, and Danny Wake from Reson work with NIWA's Neville Ching to gather information for the common dataset. Click here to be taken to the Reson website.
