PR - Geoscience Australia currently
uses Earth observation satellites
to capture environmetal information
over the entire Australian continent.
The satellites used, including Landsat,
the Advanced Land Observing System,
and Resourcesat-1, are operated
by the United States, Japan and
India respectively.
Geoscience Australia
now holds an archive of satellite
observations, over the last 30 years,
which supports several nationally
significant environmental initiatives.
These include the National Carbon
Accounting System for the federal
Department of Climate Change and
the Statewide Landcover and Trees
Study (SLATS) by the Queensland
Department of Natural Resources
