Statewide monitoring and mapping

We monitor Queensland's forests and woodlands to assess vegetation extent and land clearing activity.

We map and assess land use patterns and changes across the state.

We use satellite imagery to measure and monitor ground cover across Queensland.

Fire history has been mapped across Queensland from 1986 to the present using satellite imagery. The Remote Sensing Centre has developed a time series approach to map fire scars across the entire archive of Landsat satellite imagery.

The Queensland Crop Monitoring Program uses satellite imagery to map and monitor the groups of crops grown in Queensland's broadacre cropping regions.
