Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI)—AVHRR, without atmospheric correction

The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data are derived from satellite data. The data provides an overview of the status and dynamics of vegetation across Australia, providing a measure of the amount of live green vegetation. The satellite data comes from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instruments on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) series of satellites that are operated by the US (http://noaasis.noaa.gov/NOAASIS/ml/avhrr.html).

Agricultural Commodities

This publication contains final estimates for data items collected in the 2014–15 Rural Environment and Agricultural Commodities Survey (REACS). Included are statistics on land use, crop and horticultural area and production, livestock numbers, farm management and demographic information. 

National Vegetation Baseline

Native vegetation is a key element contributing to Australia's biodiversity. Across Australia, 23 major native vegetation groups have been identified, which collectively comprise 'tens of thousands of plant species, thousands of vegetation communities and assemblages, and provide habitat to myriads of microorganisms and animal species' (NLWRA 2002b). In general, the extent and distribution of native vegetation across Australia is determined by climatic variation and the physical landscape (i.e. landform, geology and soils).

Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia - currency shapefile package (Esri shapefile)

This dataset is the national compilation of catchment scale land use data for Australia (CLUM), as at December 2020. It is a seamless raster dataset that combines land use data for all state and territory jurisdictions, compiled at a resolution of 50 metres by 50 metres. It has been compiled from vector land use datasets collected as part of state and territory mapping programs through the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP).

AUSPOS - Online GPS Processing Service

AUSPOS is a free online GPS data processing facility provided by Geoscience Australia AUSPOS takes advantage of both The IGS Stations Network and the IGS product range AUSPOS works with data collected anywhere on Earth Users submit their dual frequency geodetic quality GPS RINEX data observed in a 'static' mode to the GPS data processing system An AUSPOS report will be emailed to you (often in less than 5 mins) containing Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) and International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) coordinates

Data and Site Logs

Geoscience Australia collects and provides Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data from the Australian Regional GPS Network (ARGN), South Pacific Regional GNSS Network (SPRGN) and the AuScope Network. The GNSS data collected at these sites are made available to the public in the Receiver Independent Exchange (RINEX) and RTCM format. Geoscience Australia also provides navigation data, meteorological data (where available) and site logs. The Geoscience Australia GNSS data archive contains data from 1992 until present.
