Australia's Remotely Sensed Data Archive - the Next 25 Years and Beyond

Abstract

The Australian Centre for Remote Sensing holds an unbroken archive of remotely sensed data covering all of Australia spanning in excess of 25 years. Sound practices initiated in the early years and maintained since then ensure that the entire ACRES archive remains accessible. Measurement of long-term temporal change of the Australian landscape was made possible through this archive; inevitably there will be other uses in the future for this unique archive that we cannot predict. This presentation discusses how a review of the audit checklist is being used to review practices to ensure that the archive remains accessible indefinitely. Show more
