Earth observation

Remote sensing scientists use data from satellites, airborne sensors and ground platforms to map and monitor Queensland’s landscapes.

• Statewide Landcover and Trees Study (SLATS)
• Land use mapping
• Ground cover
• Fire scar mapping

We monitor land clearing activities in Queensland to see how compliant they are with the state’s vegetation management framework.

We undertake research with partners and collaborators to develop new or improved methods for environmental assessment and monitoring.
