Satellite Imaging Offers New Insights of Western Desert Ecology and Precontact Aboriginal Land Use
The ‘Western Desert’, as it is commonly known, is one of the most arid and geographically remote regions of Australia.
University of Adelaide researchers raise awareness on the importance of satellite imagery for mapping bushfire impacts
My recent experience suggests there is a considerable knowledge gap between ‘Big Satellite Data’ and ‘those who need it’. Megan and I share the concern that neither the general public nor decision makers are fully aware of the range of information Earth Observation satellites can provide, nor is there a good understanding of the advanced technical skills needed to access and process imagery into useful map data. We recognise that there is a bottleneck in delivering useful information to the public, with a sea of data-rich satellite imagery available at one end and a huge unmet demand at the other.
