Videos and images from SOL4934 (Joseph Bonaparte Gulf)

The Joseph Bonaparte Gulf survey (SOL4934, GA survey #0322) was conducted on the R.V. Solander between 27 August and 24 September 2009 in collaboration with staff from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the Northern Territory Government. The survey was completed under a Memorandum of Understanding between GA and the AIMS and represents the second of three surveys planned under this agreement. The survey obtained detailed geological (sedimentological, geochemical, geophysical) and biological data for the banks, channels and plains to establish the late-Quaternary evolution of the region and investigate relationships between the physical environment and associated biota for biodiversity prediction. Underwater video footage and still images were collected from 46 stations, although quality varies among transects and some still images were not of suitable quality for analysis. In addition, shipboard photographs were taken of barcoded biological specimens. Video and image files or associated parent folders are named according to station number, followed by gear code (TV or CAM = same underwater camera system) and then the deployment number. For example 48CAM35 represents a video transect from Station 48 that was the 35th video transect on the survey.

约瑟夫·波拿巴湾调查（SOL4934，GA调查#0322）于2009年8月27日至9月24日依托研究船索兰德号（R.V. Solander）开展，合作方为澳大利亚海洋科学研究所（Australian Institute of Marine Science, AIMS）与北领地政府工作人员。本次调查依据澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia, GA）与AIMS签署的谅解备忘录完成，是该协议下规划的三项调查中的第二项。本次调查获取了研究区域内浅滩、水道与平原的详细地质（沉积学、地球化学、地球物理）与生物学数据，旨在阐明该区域晚第四纪演化历程，并探究物理环境与相关生物群落间的关联，以支撑生物多样性预测工作。水下视频与静态影像共采集自46个站位，但不同断面的影像质量存在差异，且部分静态影像质量未达到分析标准。此外，研究团队还对带有条形码的生物标本拍摄了船载照片。视频与影像文件或其所属父文件夹的命名规则为：站位编号+采集设备代码（TV或CAM均指代同一套水下摄像系统）+布设序号。例如，48CAM35代表来自48号站位的第35次水下摄像断面。
