Implementation of the Australian Water Observations from Space (WOfS) Algorithm in Africa and South America using the CEOS Data Cube

In 2014 Geoscience Australia launched Water Observations from Space (WOfS) providing a continental-scale water product that shows how often surface water has been observed across Australia by the Landsat satellites since 1987. WOfS is a 23-step band-based decision tree that classifies pixels as water or non-water with 97% overall accuracy. The enabling infrastructure for WOfS is the Australian Geoscience Data Cube (AGDC), a high performance computing system organising Australian earth observation data into a systematic, consistently corrected analysis engine. 
The Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) has adopted the AGDC methodology to create a series of international Data Cubes to provide the same capability to areas that would otherwise not be able to undertake time series analysis of the environment at these scales. The CEOS Systems Engineering Office (SEO) recently completed testing of WOfS using Data Cubes based on the AGDC version 2 over Kenya and Colombia. The results show how Data Cubes can provide water management information at large scales, and provide information in remote locations where other sources of water information are unavailable. The results also show an improvement in water detection capability over the Landsat CFMASK. This water management product provides critical insight into the behaviour of surface water over time and in particular, the extent of flooding.

Darwin-Katherine Gravity (P195706), gravity point data

Gravity data measures small changes in gravity due to changes in the density of rocks beneath the Earth's surface. The data collected are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 This Darwin-Katherine Gravity (P195706) contains a total of 451 point data values acquired at a spacing of 3219 metres. The data is located in NT and were acquired in 1955, under project No. 195706 for Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR).

Australian Energy Resource Assessment

The Australian Energy Resource Assessment examines the nation's identified and potential energy resources ranging from fossil fuels and uranium to renewables. The assessment reviews the factors likely to influence the use of Australia's energy resources to 2030, including the technologies being developed to extract energy more efficiently and cleanly from existing and new energy sources.
Australia has an abundant and diverse range of energy resources. It has very large coal resources that underpin exports and low-cost domestic electricity production, more than one third of the world's known uranium resources, and substantial conventional gas and coal seam gas resources. These can support Australia's domestic needs and exports for many years to come. Identified resources of crude oil, condensate and liquefied petroleum gas are more limited and Australia is increasingly reliant on imports for transport fuels.
Australia has a rich diversity of renewable energy resources (wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, wave, tidal, bioenergy) with low greenhouse gas emissions. With the exception of hydro and wind energy (which is growing strongly) many of these resources are largely undeveloped, constrained by the current immaturity of technologies. The expected advances in technology by 2030 will allow them to make a growing contribution to Australia's future energy supply.
Australia's energy consumption pattern is expected to change significantly by 2030. While fossil fuels (coal, oil and increasingly gas) will continue to dominate the energy mix, renewable energy sources, notably wind, are expected to become increasingly more significant.
Chapter 1 is an executive summary of key assessment findings. Chapter 2 presents an integrated synthesis of all Australia resources and markets.  Individual resource chapters each consider world and Australian resources and markets, examines key factors in utilising the resource, and the resource and market outlook to 2030.
The Australian Energy Resource Assessment was undertaken jointly by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) at the request of the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism as a contribution to future energy policy.

Kalgoorlie East, WA, 2013 (P1261), magnetic line data, AWAGS levelled

Total magnetic intensity (TMI) data measures variations in the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming minerals in the Earth crust. Magnetic anomalies can be either positive (field stronger than normal) or negative (field weaker) depending on the susceptibility of the rock. The data are processed via standard methods to ensure the response recorded is that due only to the rocks in the ground. The results produce datasets that can be interpreted to reveal the geological structure of the sub-surface. The processed data is checked for quality by GA geophysicists to ensure that the final data released by GA are fit-for-purpose.
 These line dataset from the Kalgoorlie East, WA, 2013 survey were acquired in 2013 by the WA Government, and consisted of 121572 line-kilometres of data at 100m line spacing and 50m terrain clearance. To constrain long wavelengths in the data, an independent data set, the Australia-wide Airborne Geophysical Survey (AWAGS) airborne magnetic data, was used to control the base levels of the survey data. This survey data is essentially levelled to AWAGS.
