National ASTER geoscience map

The ASTER Geoscience Maps is the first public, web-accessible, continent-scale product release from the ASTER Global Mapping data archive.

It represents a successful collaborative Australian ASTER Initiative, led by the Western Australian Centre of Excellence for 3D Mineral Mapping, and many State, Territory and Commonwealth agencies along with international partners. ASTER is the first geoscience-tuned Earth observation system that has acquired three near-complete coverages of the Earth's land surfaces.

These geoscience maps are released in GIS format as 1:1M map-sheet tiles, from 3000 ASTER scenes of 60x60km. Each scene was cross-calibrated and validated using independent Hyperion satellite imagery.

The new ASTER geoscience products range in their application from local to continental scales, and their uses include mapping of soils for agricultural and environmental management, such as estimating soil loss, dust management and water catchment modelling. They will also be useful for resource exploration, showing host rock, alteration and regolith mineralogy and providing new mineral information at high spatial resolution (30m pixel). This information is not currently available from other pre-competitive geoscience data.
