The Australian Government is investing in a world first analysis platform for satellite imagery and other Earth observations. From sustainably managing the environment to developing resources and optimising our agricultural potential, Australia must overcome a number of challenges to meet the needs of our growing population. Digital Earth Australia (DEA) will deliver a unique capability to process, interrogate, and present Earth observation satellite data in response to these issues. It will track changes across Australia in unprecedented detail, identifying soil and coastal erosion, crop growth, water quality, and changes to cities and regions. DEA will build on the globally recognised innovation, the Australian Geoscience Data Cube1; which was the winner of the 2016 Content Platform of the Year at the Geospatial World Leadership Awards and was developed as a partnership between GA, CSIRO and the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) supported National Computational Infrastructure (NCI).

An AusPIX Integration Table for major Australian geographies. Based on the standard AusPIX DGGS 2.4408 hectare plot, this dataset integrates each major geography with all others in the table. It is a core dataset that describes all the AusPIX DGGS level 10 cells in Australia and extends them into a cross-walk that references point, line, polygon, or grid data to those AusPIX DGGS cells. This table can be easily linked to further integrate and reference any other AusPIX enabled dataset available. The Integration set is designed to allow a wide variety of statistical enquiry, as well as visualisation of data and outputs. For example Python Pandas can consume csv downloads of selected parts of this database to allow employment of all Pandas functions. For visualisation, QGIS can connect (and visualise on the desktop), your SQL queries on the database for example. This table is a 430 million row PostgreSQL database provisioned on AWS. It can be filtered and searched using SQL, and results can be downloaded to CSV. It is a pre-calculated dataset using the 'AusPIX framework for data integration, statistics and visualisation by DGGS Location (linked in "Associations" in the panel on the right). An API over the top of this dataset is available at: https://api.dggs.ga.gov.au/docs
