Brief description
Comprises a national satellite imagery mosaic and derived information products produced by a collaboration of CSIRO, Geoscience Australia (GA) and State and Territory Surveys, and several additional national and international collaborators. Mineral products were derived using a validated mosaic of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data. Value: The data are used to understand distributions of and changes in surface materials and assessment of environmental, agricultural and resource potential. Scope: This dataset covers the continent with the intent to provide the best quality mosaic from 10+ year archive of scenes across Australia (i.e., lowest cloud/vegetation cover, high sun angle etc)Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: annually
Statement: Source: ASTER data from the Terra satellite, a cooperative effort by NASA and JAXA (derived products computed by CSIRO, iVEC and GA staff as part of a collaborative project from ASTER EO data contained in other collection).
Form: These products are tiled geotif and NetCDF files of national mosaic, raw data are original ENVI .hdr files used in calibration and processing of original reflectance data.
This Collection record was created to enhance the discoverability and management of the individual products contained in the collection. See the individual eCat records for product specific lineage.
