Abstract
The Smartline Coastal Geomorphic Map of Australia is a detailed map of the coastal landform types - or 'geomorphology' of the whole of continental Australia and most adjacent islands (excluding the Great Barrier Reef). It has been compiled by combining mapped coastal landform data from over 200 diverse pre-existing datasets into a single nationally-consistent format and classification scheme. The Smartline map project was commissioned by the Department of Climate Change (formerly the Australian Greenhouse Office) and Geoscience Australia in 2007, because it was recognised that assessing the vulnerability of Australia's coast to sea-level rise required, amongst other things, detailed but national-scale mapping of coastal landform types.
