The ASTER geoscience map of Australia is a set of digital geoscience products generated from satellite ASTER data. ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) is a Japanese ... moreimaging instrument on board USA’s TERRA satellite. The multispectral imaging sensor is the world’s first “geoscience tuned” satellite Earth Observing System. The ASTER geoscience maps of Australia represent the first continent-scale maps of the Earth’s surface mineralogy. ASTER has 14 spectral bands spanning wavelengths sensitive to important rock forming minerals, including: Iron oxides; clays; carbonates; quartz; muscovite and chlorite. Each ASTER image covers a 60 by 60 km area with individual pixel elements ranging from 15 to 90 m suitable for geoscience mapping from continent (1:2,500,000) down to mineral prospect (1:50,000) scale. The Australian mosaic is sourced from ~35,000 ASTER scenes with approximately 3500 used in the final mosaic. The products are: False colour; CSIRO Landsat TM Regolith Ratios; Green vegetation content; Ferric oxide content; Ferric oxide composition; Ferrous iron index; Opaque index; AIOH group content; AIOH group composition; Kaolin group index; FeOH group content; MgOH group content; MgOH group composition; Ferrous iron content in MgOH/carbonate; Silica Index; Quartz Index; Gypsum Index. less
COE - 3D Mineral Mapping - Mineral Mapping - Published 06 Mar 2020
The digital 3-dimenional (3D) mineral mapping suite of Queensland comprises ~20 “standardized” products at the spectral resolution of the ASTER (Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Ra... morediometer) sensor and generated from publicly-available satellite, airborne, field and drill core spectral data spanning the visible near infrared (VNIR; 0.4 to 1.0 µm), shortwave infrared (SWIR; 1.0 to 2.5 µm) and thermal infrared (TIR; 7.5 to 12.0 µm) wavelength regions, including: 1. Satellite ASTER maps at both 30 m and 90 m pixel resolution with complete coverage of the state of Queensland, i.e. 1.853 million km²; 2. Airborne HyMap maps at ~5 m pixel resolution with a coverage of ~25,000 km2 from areas across north Queensland; 3. Field point samples (~300) from the National Geochemical Survey of Australia (NGSA) collected from a depth of 0-10 cm of flood overbank sediments; 4. Drill-core profiles (~20) of the National Virtual Core Library (NVCL) selected from the area around the Georgetown seismic line (07GA-IG2). Key to the processing of the remote sensing data-sets (ASTER and HyMap) was the implementation of unmixing methods to remove the effects dry and green vegetation. This unmixing was not applied to the Australian ASTER geoscience maps released in 2012 (called here Version 1 or V1) resulting in extensive areas with little/no mineral information because of the need to apply masks. The vegetation unmixing methods used in the Version 2 (V2) processing of the ASTER and HyMap imagery has resulted in very few areas without coherent mineral information. The resultant V2 “mineral group” products were designed to measure mineral information potentially useful for mapping: (i) primary rock composition; (ii) superimposed alteration effects; and (iii) regolith cover. These V2 products may assist in mapping soil properties and groundwater conditions. However their relatively low spectral resolution (based on ASTER’s 14 VNIR-SWIR-TIR bands) means that they do not provide the high level of mineralogical detail available from hyperspectral systems (>100 spectral bands), like HyMap and the HyLogger. Nevertheless, the relatively low spectral resolution of ASTER means that all other sensor data can be spectrally resampled to that resolution. Furthermore, the ASTER global data archive, which now spans entire Earth’s land surface <80degrees latitude, means that it can be used as global base-map for integrating all other spectral data. less

Legacy data - Murray Darling Basin Sustainable Yields Project - Published 04 Oct 2018
The lumped conceptual rainfall-runoff model, SIMHYD, with a Muskingum routing method is used to estimate daily runoff for 0.05° x 0.05° grid cells (~5 km x 5km) across the entire MDB. The adopted rain... morefall-runoff modelling method provides a consistent basis (that is automated and reproducible) for modelling historical runoff across the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) and for assessing the potential impacts of climate change and development on future runoff. The future climate scenario (Scenario C) is used to assess the range of likely climate conditions around the year 2030. Forty-five future climate variants, each with 112 years of daily climate sequences, are used. The future climate variants come from scaling the 1895 to 2006 climate data to represent ~2030 climate, based on analyses of 15 global climate models (GCMs) and three global warming scenarios. As the future climate series (Scenario C) is obtained by scaling the historical daily climate series from 1895 to 2006 (Scenario A), the daily climate series for Scenarios A and C have the same length of data (112 years) and the same sequence of daily climate. Scenario C is therefore not a forecast climate at 2030, but a 112-year daily climate series based on 1895 to 2006 data adjusted to match projected global temperatures at ~2030 relative to ~1990.less

This is Version 1 of the Soil Depth product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. This depth ... moreproduct estimates the depth of soil down to 2 metres. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). The soil attribute products are provided as continuous maps that represent each of six depth intervals to a maximum depth of 2 metres. We acknowledge that soil depth is variable across Australia, and in some landscapes there might be no soil or soil might be shallower than 2 metres. We have provided continuous maps because of the relative unavailability of data on soil depth. Further, existing data on depth is biased to near surface layers and there are few records that extend beyond 1.5m. Therefore, we provide here, our best estimate of soil depth to allow users to generate masks, which might be used together with the attribute maps to approximate the presence of areas with no soil or areas with shallow soil. We encourage users to draw on local data and expertise for such assessments.

The Physiographic Regions of Australia (Pain, Gregory, Wilson and McKenzie 2011) are a modification of those compiled by Jennings and Mabbutt (1977), and are based on a visual interpretation of landfo... morerms as expressed on the Shuttle Radar Terrain Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM). Apart from its descriptive role, a map of physiographic regions provides a regional system of reference for geomorphological and related physical geographical accounts. Through the groupings of physiographic regional characteristics at different levels, the action of underlying controls, for instance geologic or climatic, may be made apparent. Further, the map can provide a regional basis for an understanding of land characteristics that are dependent upon landforms, for example the distribution of soils or natural vegetation.

The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as 1x1 degree tiles in ESRI float grid format. 813 tiles make up the extent of Australia. The 1 arcsecond mosaic data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:18731 . The 3 arcsecond resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arcsecond resolution surfaces, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.

1181.2 TERN Facility No9 InfoGrid GRUNDY - SRAD solar radiation surfaces - Published 29 Jul 2016
Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2... more000) was used to derive: • Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface • Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface) • Incoming long-wave radiation • Outgoing long-wave radiation • Net long-wave radiation • Net radiation • Sky view factor All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane. The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view. The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as single (mosaicked) grids for Australia in TIFF format. The 1 arcsecond tiled data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:9631 . The 3 arcsecond resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arcsecond resolution surfaces, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.
