Abstract
Comprises a national satellite imagery mosaic and derived information products produced by a collaboration of CSIRO, Geoscience Australia (GA) and State and Territory Surveys, and several additional national and international collaborators. Mineral products were derived using a validated mosaic of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data. <b>Value: </b>The data are used to understand distributions of and changes in surface materials and assessment of environmental, agricultural and resource potential. <b>Scope: </b>This dataset covers the continent with the intent to provide the best quality mosaic from 10+ year archive of scenes across Australia (i.e., lowest cloud/vegetation cover, high sun angle etc)

Lineage
<b>Source: </b>ASTER data from the Terra satellite, a cooperative effort by NASA and JAXA (derived products computed by CSIRO, iVEC and GA staff as part of a collaborative project from ASTER EO data contained in other collection).<br /> <br /> <b>Form: </b>These products are tiled geotif and NetCDF files of national mosaic, raw data are original ENVI .hdr files used in calibration and processing of original reflectance data. <br /> <br /> This Collection record was created to enhance the discoverability and management of the individual products contained in the collection. See the individual eCat records for product specific lineage.
