The cartographic collection of the Doc Fisher Geoscience Library consists of the maps and air photos created or acquired by agency staff since the formation of BMR in 1946. This includes maps produced by agencies which have merged with these over the years, such as AUSLIG. Maps held include: Australian geological map series (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and the 1 mile series); topographic maps produced by NATMAP and its predecessors (1:250,000, 1:100,000 and 1:50,000) - latest editions only; various Australian geochemical, geophysical and other thematic maps; geoscience map series from other countries acquired on an exchange basis, including some with accompanying explanatory notes; Non-series maps acquired by donation or exchange; atlases. The Air photos are predominantly those used for mapping Australia and, to a lesser extent, Papua New Guinea and Antarctica, by BMR/AGSO from the 1940s to the 1980s. Geographical coverage of the sets is not complete, but many individual photos are unique in that they have pin points, overlays or other markings made by teams in the field. The Papua New Guinea photographs in the collection may, in many cases, be the only existing copies. Flight diagrams are also held for many (but not all) sets of air photos. Some other related materials, such as montages of aerial photographs (orthophotos), are also represented in the collection.

This data package comprises data sets which cover the Warragul 1:250 000 map sheet (WARRAGUL). At this stage, the data set is only a preliminary compilation which is planned to be expanded in the near future.

This data package comprises data sets which cover the Wangaratta 1:250 000 map sheet (WANGARATTA). This area has recently been covered by airborne geophysical surveys by the Geological Survey of Victoria and these data sets intend to compliment this data.

Remotely sensed imagery has been used extensively in geomorphology since the availability of early Landsat data. Since that time, there has been a steady increase in the range of sensors offering data with increased spatial and spectral resolutions, from both government and commercial satellites. This has been augmented with an increase in the amount and range of airborne surveys carried out. Since 2000, digital elevation models have become widely available through the application of interferometric synthetic aperture radar, photogrammetry and laser altimetry (specifically LiDAR) with extensive uptake by geomorphologists. In addition, hyperspectral imaging, radiometrics and electromagentics have been made more accessible, whilst there has been increased use of close-range (<200 m) imaging techniques for very high resolution imaging. This paper reviews the primary sources for DEMs from satellite and airborne platforms, as well as briefly reviewing more traditional multi-spectral scanners, and radiometric and electromagnetic systems. Examples of the applications of these techniques are summarised and presented within the context of landscape pattern recognition and modelling. Finally, the wider issues of access to geographic information and data distribution are discussed.

Predominantly available across northern Australia along major transport routes and other selected areas (about 1,000 maps have been published to date). At this scale 1cm on the map represents 500m on the ground. This map series does not cover Australia.
