GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 for Google Earth

GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 for Google Earth contains 1:250,000 scale vector map data for Australia that can be viewed on Google EarthTM Mapping Service Version 4 . Data is the same as found in other GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 products produced by Geoscience Australia, however is provided in KML format in this product . Unlike other GEODATA TOPO 250K products, this version is designed for use with Google EarthTM Mapping Service and therefore requires no specialist GIS software or expertise .

The map data is displayed with the Google EarthTM Mapping Service satellite imagery in the background and is arranged in tiles to facilitate ready display - only the current tile's data is loaded at any time . However, by simply panning seamlessly to a neighbouring tile, this tile's data can then be loaded .

GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 for Google Earth allows you to click on a selected feature for its description . Data is arranged in nine main themes:

• Elevation • Framework • Habitation

• Hydrography • Infrastructure • Terrain

• Transport • Utility • Vegetation .

Each of these themes contain relevant data layers that can easily be switched on or off, without the need for sophisticated and expensive GIS systems . For ease of use, some area features have been turned off . Users also have the choice of basic map data or a complete set of features that allows you to customise the information displayed .

Important note: GEODATA TOPO 250K series 3 for Google Earth has been wholly developed by Geoscience Australia . This product has not been developed in association with the developers and/or owners of Google EarthTM Mapping Service . In addition, this product has not been sponsored, approved or endorsed by the developers and/or owners of Google EarthTM Mapping Service . 2007 logue logue Cata

Gravity Map of the Australian Region The map combines accurate onshore gravity measurements with worldwide satellite gravity coverage over marine areas . The onshore gravity coverage of Australia and neighbouring islands comprises 700 000 point gravity observations with a point to point spacing ranging between 11 kilometres and 25 metres . The satellite data sample spacing is approximately 2 minutes of arc . The onshore data as well as the satellite data were gridded onto a 2 .5 kilometre mesh covering the area of the map .

GEOHAZARDS Project Reports and Projects

The National Geohazards Vulnerability of Urban Communities Project The National Geohazards Vulnerability of Urban Communities Project (The Cities Project), was established in 1996 by Geoscience Australia to undertake research directed towards the mitigation of the risks faced by Australian urban communities that are posed by a range of geological hazards . It formed a significant part of Australia’s contribution to the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) in the 1990s and continues to be a focus for Commonwealth community risk research .

These reports have been developed as a primary resource for those responsible for the management of those risks . In addition to local and district emergency managers, this includes elected officials, asset managers, engineers and planners . The ultimate objective is to improve the safety of communities and consequently make them more sustainable and prosperous .

Each product consists of a summary booklet together with a CD-ROM containing several hundred pages of the comprehensive report, along with graphs, charts and detailed figures .

About remote sensing

WHAT IS REMOTE SENSING? Remote sensing is the science of gathering data using an instrument that is not in contact with the object being studied . It forms the basis of most Earth observation .

A variety of sensors on satellite platforms collect data concerning the Earth . Data collected by these sensors provides a powerful source of information . Remotely sensed data can provide information that is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain from the ground . This could be the primary source of information or as a complement to other types of information .

Users of remotely sensed data have the option to choose from a broad range of products designed to meet specific information needs .

The two key characteristics that introduce differences in Graph 1: Landsat ETM+ Bands and reflectance of landcover types. the data products generated from various satellite sensors are spectral and spatial resolution .

SPECTRAL AND SPATIAL RESOLUTION TYPES OF SENSORS Remote sensing data is often named after the sensor that Satellite data products are often described in terms of acquired it . Sensors can be classified by the following types: spatial and spectral resolution . These two characteristics also determine the product that best suits a given application . The ability of the sensor to detect the energy Multispectral (Colour) reflected by surface features within specific segments of Multispectral sensors record reflected or emitted energy the electromagnetic spectrum is referred to as spectral levels in several discrete bands of the electromagnetic resolution . While the human eye is capable of detecting spectrum, usually less than 10 bands (more than 10 only a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, ie . spectral bands is referred to as hyperspectral) . All objects the visible portion, remote sensing instruments detect reflect light differently . The unique pattern of reflection electromagnetic energy from across the whole range by different objects helps identify them in a multispectral of the spectrum, ie . ultraviolet, visible, infrared, thermal analysis of the data . (See Graph 1) . and microwave regions .

The size of the smallest object that can be seen by the Panchromatic (Black & White) sensor is commonly referred to as spatial resolution . Panchromatic (pan) sensors, unlike multispectral sensors, A sensor with a spatial resolution of 20 metres for record the energy level from one wide band in the visible example, cannot clearly detect objects that are smaller region of the electromagnetic spectrum . However, the than 20 metres . However, there are exceptions due to the width and location on the spectrum of pan bands may interplay of spectral and spatial resolution . An object’s vary depending on the design of the sensor . Pan data is radiometric or light-reflecting characteristics may contrast frequently used where the spatial information is more sharply with the surrounding area, enabling its detection important than the spectral (colour) information because contrary to expectations based on spatial resolution alone . pan data normally offers a higher spatial resolution .

Geoscience Australia is the custodian for Commonwealth vertical and oblique aerial photography, which began in 1928 . The photos are an important adjunct to spatial information because they provide an accurate historical record of the land . They are of tremendous value to: • Geologists • Mining and exploration companies • Land developers • Planners • Environmentalists • Farmers • Soil conservationists, and • Landcare groups .

In 1997, production and delivery of aerial photography products were outsourced to United Photo & Graphic Services (UPGS) of Melbourne . The Commonwealth has retained policy control, including pricing and copyright .
