Abstract
This metadata file and associated files contain metadata for the Geoscience Australia Kakadu LiDAR project carried out in 2011. This metadata is for the Digital Elevation Model created as 1m grid generated from the LiDAR point data classified as ground. The grid was generated employing a point to TIN and TIN to grid point process with nearest neighbour interpolation. The DEM was generated in ESRI ArcGIS V10 format.

Lineage
Fugro Spatial Solutions were awarded a contract by Geoscience Australia to carry out an Aerial LiDAR Survey over the Kakadu. The data will be used to examine the potential impacts of climate change and sea level rise on the West Alligator, South Alligator, East Alligator River systems and other minor areas. A FSS aircraft and aircrew were mobilised to site and the project area was captured using a Leica ALS60 system positioned using a DGPS base-station at Darwin airport. The Darwin base-station was positioned by DGPS observations from local control stations. A ground control survey was carried out by FSS surveyors to determine ground positions and heights for control and check points throughout the area. All data was returned to FSS office in Perth and processed. The deliverable datasets were generated and supplied to Geoscience Australia with this metadata information.
