Helena SF52-05 - AUSTopo 1:250 000 digital map

This map is part of the AUSTopo - Australian Digital Topographic Map Series. It covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5 km on the ground) and comprises 516 maps. This is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire continent. Each standard map covers an area of approximately 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150 kilometres from east to west and at least 110 kilometres from north to south. The topographic map shows approximate coverage of the sheets. The map may contain information from surrounding map sheets to maximise utilisation of available space on the map sheet. There are about 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries.

L083 Seismic refraction survey at Maralinga, Officer Basin, SA, 1955, 1956

The seismic survey was carried out at the request of the U.K. Ministry of Supply. The purpose of the survey was to disclose the geological structure and, if possible, the physical rock characteristics at the Maralinga testing ground. The 11,000 ft/sec layer at a depth of about 200 ft, probably a sandstone-shale formation, and the 19,000 ft/sec formation at a depth of about 1350 or 1800 ft (according to the method of computation used) were successfully mapped. The subsurface information to a depth of about 200 ft was derived mainly from shallow drill holes and up-hole shots. An experimental spread indicated a very low Poisson ratio for the sandstoneshale formation.

L084 Seismic reflection and refraction survey in Ngalia Basin, NT, 1968 Traverses A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J

The Bureau of Mineral Resources made three seismic surveys in the Ngalia Basin, Northern Territory, during 1967 to 1969 as part of a comprehensive geological and geophysical investigation of the structure and stratigraphy of the basin. L084 is the second survey done in 1968.

The project was aimed at delineating the configuration of the basin, within which outcrops are sparse, and providing information pertaining to its depositional and tectonic history. Investigation of the extent of Lower Palaeozoic sedimentation was considered to be important in assessment of the petroleum prospects of the basin.

DEA Geometric Median and Median Absolute Deviation (Landsat) 3.0.0

Background
        When deriving information from satellite images it may be beneficial to see how an area usually looks over a given year rather than how it was viewed at a single point in time. Other useful interpretations include how dynamic or variable the Australian landscape is over any given year, especially to help with understanding how the landscape changes, or to discriminateparts of the landscape that stay the same throughout the year (like bare rock), from those areas that go through big changes in cover (such as cropping areas).

By understanding general conditions (which can be thought of as "average" for the year) and the different patterns of variation, we can characterise various types of land cover and land use, and detect changes of significance in the landscape.

The Geometric Median provides information on the general conditions of the landscape for a given year.

The Median Absolute Deviation provides information on how the landscape is changing in the same year.

The DEA GeoMAD product combines the Geometric Median and the Median Absolute Deviation in a single, annually produced package.

What this product offers
        This product provides statistical tools to exploit the time series of Earth observation data available in Digital Earth Australia, providing annual images of general conditions and how much an area changes for a given year.

Thegeomedian part of the product provides an "average" cloud-free image over the given year. The geomedian image is calculated with a multi-dimensional median, using all the spectral measurements from the satellite imagery at the same time in order to maintain the relationships among the measurements.

The median absolute deviation part of the product uses three measures of variance, each of whichprovides a "second order" high dimensional statistical compositefor the given year. The three variance measures show how much an area varies from the "average" in terms of "distance" based on factors such as brightness and spectra:

<code>Euclidean distance (EMAD)
Cosine (spectral) distance (SMAD)
Bray Curtis dissimilarity (BCMAD)
</code>

Together, they provide information on variance in the landscape over the given year and are useful for change detection applications.

Weekly Pollen Count Data for Christchurch, New Zealand

The datafile contains the composition and abundance of airborne pollen in Christchurch, New Zealand. The data was collected for the period between November 1988 to February 1989 as part of a nationwide survey of airborne pollen. This forms part of a study of the Australian Aerobiology working group (Haberle, Bowman, Newnham, Johnston, Beggs, Buters, Campbell, Erbas, Godwin, Green, Heute, Jaggard, Medek, Murray, Newbiggin, Thibaudon, Vicendese, Williamson, Davies “The macroecology of airborne pollen in Australian and New Zealand urban areas”).

Digital Hemispherical Photography (DHP) from TERN Wombat Stringybark Eucalypt SuperSite

Digital Hemispherical Photography (DHP) upward-looking images are collected up to twice per year to capture vegetation and crown cover at Wombat Stringybark Eucalypt  SuperSite.  These images are used to estimate Leaf area index (LAI). The images are captured at the times of estimated maximum and minimum LAI.



The site was established in 2010 in the Wombat State Forest in Central Victoria. The site is dry eucalypt forest with main species <em>Eucalyptus obliqua</em>, <em>Eucalyptus radiata</em> and <em>Euclayptus rubida</em>. For additional site information, see https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/wombat-stringybark-eucalypt-supersite/.



Other images collected at the site include photopoints, phenocam time-lapse images taken from fixed under and overstorey cameras and ancilliary images of fauna and flora.
