The Digital Earth Australia notebooks and tools repository ("DEA notebooks") hosts Jupyter Notebooks, Python scripts and workflows for analysing Digital Earth Australia (DEA) satellite data and derived products. The repository is intended to provide a guide to getting started with DEA, and to showcase the wide range of geospatial analyses that can be achieved using DEA data and open-source software including Open Data Cube and xarray. DEA notebooks is a live Github project and is regularly updated. See the project wiki and readme for more detailed information.

Earth Observations over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are critical for understanding changes in the cryosphere, ecosystems and oceans through time. Our ability to observe Antarctica systematically at a continental scale is constrained by difficulties accessing, storing and pre-processing satellite imagery prior to analysis. Some of these challenges are unique to the Antarctic environment, where factors such as cloud masking, reflectivity, prolonged periods of darkness and atmospheric differences in water vapour, aerosol and signal scattering mean that corrections applied to satellite data in other regions of the world aren’t representative of Antarctic conditions. A new collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division, Digital Earth Antarctica, aims to improve access to corrected continental scale satellite data through use of Open Data Cube technology. This initiative builds on work in the international community in developing Open Data Cube platforms, which have been applied in the development of Digital Earth Australia and Digital Earth Africa. The Digital Earth Antarctica platform will provide open access to analysis ready time-series data that has been corrected and validated for Antarctic conditions. It will focus primarily on data from Landsat (optical), Sentinel-1 (synthetic aperture radar) and Sentinel-2 (optical), with other sensors to be added as the capability expands. Digital Earth Antarctica is an ambitious project that will work alongside other international efforts to enhance the accessibility of quality Antarctic Earth Observations.
