IN2019_T01 Southern Ocean Transit Bathymetry 10m - 210m Multi-resolution AusSeabed products

This layer group describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2019_T01 titled "Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Alliance (CAPSTAN)". The voyage took place between April 29 and May 9, 2019, departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Fremantle (WA).

This voyage was part of the Collaborative Australian Postgraduate Sea Training Alliance Network (CAPSTAN), a post-graduate at sea training initiative on the RV Investigator. Governed by a network of leading industry and university partners from within marine science and geoscience, CAPSTAN is a first of its kind programme which will transform the way marine science education is delivered. A truly national education initiative, CAPSTAN offers a national approach to teaching and learning in the marine sciences whilst providing a platform for institutional, industrial and generational knowledge transfer and collaboration.

Our aims have arisen out of a national desire to:
• Develop an effective, efficient form of vessel‐based tertiary education by involving stakeholders and post-graduate students, and by pooling national tertiary teaching expertise and personnel resources;
• Develop a national curriculum to standardise teaching protocols/methods and learning outcomes in this area in conjunction with the new data collection equipment and facilities of the Marine National Facility RV Investigator, the Integrated Marine Observatory System and external stakeholders, and;
• Provide and test a multi‐disciplinary research‐based teaching module for marine science postgraduates with opportunities for student mobility and national network development.
