Background

The National Land & Water Resources Audit (the Audit) in cooperation with CSIRO Land & Water, Geoscience Australia and the University of Tasmania were involved a number of projects as part of the Estuarine, Coastal and Marine Work plan. This web site has been set up to provide access to quicklooks for Quickbird Imagery acquired as part of the projects as well as some other documents. The later includes information on the Field Spectroradiometer Loan Service - refer Fact sheets on navigation panel.

Note: the Audit ceased operations on 30 June 2008. As such this site is now under the OzCoasts program being run by Geoscience Australia.

It has been brought to our attention that some of the Quickbird images supplied under this project have an arefact present known as Circuit Boarding which can result in a loss of pixel information. Click here for additional information

The Quickbird order has been finalised with SKM, processed by DigitalGlobe and delivered to Geoscience Australia (GA).

GA have recently finalised a process to enable the Quickbird imagery to be made available to authorised users subject to certain license conditions.
