Abstract: The Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC) surveys to the Terre Adélie and George V shelf and margin highlight the requirement for a revised high resolution depth model that can be used as a spatial tool for improving physical models of the region. We have combined available shiptrack and multibeam bathymetry, coastline and land topographic data to develop a new high-resolution depth model, called GVdem. GVdem spans an area 138°E to 148°E longitude and 63°S to 69°S latitude, with a choice of three ESRI grids with cell pixel sizes: 15 arcsec, 9 arcsec and 3.6 arcsec. The revised depth model is an improvement over previously available regional-scale grids, and highlights seabed physiographic detail not previously observed for this part of East Antarctica. In particular, the extent and complexity of the inner-shelf depressions are revealed and their relationship with large shelf basins and adjacent flat-topped banks.
