Abstract
Digital Earth Australia (DEA) will build on the globally recognised innovation, the Australian Geoscience Data Cube; winner of the 2016 Content Platform of the Year at the Geospatial World Leadership Awards. DEA translates almost 30 years of Earth observation satellite imagery into information and insights about the changing Australian landscape and coastline, providing a ground-breaking approach to organising, analysing, and storing vast quantities of data. 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 its growing population in a time of increased climate variability. 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. The following products provide examples of how, by providing easy access to free and open Earth observation data, DEA will unlock innovation and capability across government, industry, and the research community.
