    A higher resolution local version of the Esri Global Ecological Marine Units dataset, a 3D statistical volumetric clustering of the ocean, based on NIWA data. We will be using NIWA Oceanography Data to produce output for the NZ region.https://www.esri.com/en-us/about/science/ecological-marine-units/overview Ecological Marine Units (EMUs) are baseline 3D mapped ecosystems of the ocean that have been classified through statistical clustering. They are published in Oceanography journal https://www.tos.org/oceanography/article/a-three-dimensional-mapping-of-the-ocean-based-on-environmental-data: Sayre, R.G., D.J. Wright, S.P. Breyer, K.A. Butler, K. Van Graafeiland, M.J. Costello, P.T. Harris, K.L. Goodin, J.M. Guinotte, Z. Basher, M.T. Kavanaugh, P.N. Halpin, M.E. Monaco, N. Cressie, P. Aniello, C.E. Frye, and D. Stephens. 2017. A three-​dimensional mapping of the ocean based on environmental data. Oceanography 30(1):90–103, https://doi.org/10.5670/oceanog.2017.116.

  • This project will evaluate water quality, stream flow, and LiDAR data, which will be provided by Otago Regional Council, to produce a suitability map identifying the location of a constructed wetland in the Mill Creek / Lake Hayes catchment.

  • A collection of bathymetric datasets that are stored on the Bunsen server and managed by an ESRI BIS database. The BIS stores the datasets metadata and controls the mosaicking rules. The final yearly product is a single bathymetric grid for the South and West Pacific Oceans that is then delivered to GEBCO for final assembly into the global gridded bathymetric product.

  • Seabed 2030 is a collaborative project between the Nippon Foundation of Japan and the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO). It aims to bring together all available bathymetric data to produce the definitive map of the world ocean floor by 2030 and make it available to all. The project was launched at the United Nations (UN) Ocean Conference in June 2017 and is aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goal #14 to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources. The South and West Pacific Center acts as the regional focus for data compilation and co-ordination activities for Seabed 2030 in the South and West Pacific region. The Center has responsibility over 123 million sq.km of ocean from South America to Australia, between 10°N and 50°S, and the western part of the Pacific Ocean to 50°N. The region includes the world's deepest trenches, internal seas, and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) from Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICT). In the most remote regions, bathymetric data originate from existing ship tracks that are spaced up to 100 km apart. The center is based at the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and is one of Seabed 2030's network of regional and global centers.
