Description This dataset compiles all field observations collected as part of a sediment dynamics study in the Fitzroy Estuary - Keppel Bay Region from February 2022 to April 2023. Four voyages were undertaken during the 14-month study to deploy and maintain instrumentation at several fixed stations while also conducting spatial surveys and process measurements.

These in-situ observations primarily focus on hydrodynamics, sediment properties and physical-chemical properties, but also include other biogeochemical, bio-optical and meteorological data. Instrumentation, deployment timelines, locations and quality control details are summarized in the “ReadMe” file: Fitz_2022_23_Data_description.pdf, which also includes synoptic figures, tables and images. Additional information is provided in brief reports completed after each voyage, which summarize field activities along with pictures and preliminary visualization of raw data.

To accommodate a range of use cases, instrument data are duplicated into two data structures: “byInstrument” and “byLocation”. All timestamps are in local time (AEST), unless otherwise noted.

The project was a conducted as part of eReefs Phase 5 (https://research.csiro.au/ereefs/, https://www.ereefs.org.au/) combined with the CSIRO CERC project “Breaking new ground in coastal sediment dynamics: A measurement-to modelling pathway to support blue growth and coastal resilience”.
Relevant links and outputs from this data collection will be periodically updated.
