Digital data generated by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies is managed according to the data management guidelines, policies and procedures of James Cook University, the University of Queensland, Australian National University and the University of Western Australia.
Our four node universities provide members of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies with training in the development and use of databases, catalogues and metadata to ensure that digital research data are retained in a durable, indexed and retrievable form.
Digital data and metadata generated by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies is shared via multiple platforms. These platforms include external online repositories and databases (e.g. GenBank, eAtlas, Dryad), data journals (e.g. Scientific Data) and the JCU, UQ, ANU and UWA online data repositories:
Tropical Data Hub James Cook University
UQ eSpace University of Queensland
ANU Data Commons Australian National University
UWA Research Repository University of Western Australia
The online data repositories of JCU, UQ, ANU and UWA are syndicated with the Australian Research Data Commons, and the associated metadata is made available via Research Data Australia to ensure that data is Managed, Connected, Discoverable and Reusable. Data loaded to the node’s online data repositories are provided with a DOI. Use the frame below to explore ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies data via Research Data Australia.
For our members
Make sure to include “ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies” as a subject key word when loading your data to the JCU, UQ, ANU or UWA online data repositories. This will enable your data to appear in the Centre’s Research Data Australia (RDA) interface. Contact your university data librarian if you wish to expose data held in external repositories (e.g. GenBank, Dryad) via the Centre’s RDA interface.

Reports in recent years that marine protected areas (MPAs) aren’t effective in saving coral reefs from the damaging effects of global climate change have led some to argue that such expensive interv
Scientists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) at The University of Western Australia (UWA) have found that some corals are able to combat the effects of ocean acidifi
Thanks to mom and dad, baby reef fish may have what it takes to adjust to hotter oceans. In a rapidly changing climate, the decline of animal populations is a very real concern. Today, an internati
A new study published online today in Nature shows that corals on the northern Great Barrier Reef experienced a catastrophic die-off following the extended marine heatwave of 2016. “When corals b
