Murray Mouth and Lower Lakes Coastal Change Time Series from Landsat, 1988-2013

AGDC Time Series Video illustrates coastal change at the Murray Mouth and Lower Lakes in South Australia. It uses 104 Landsat observations from the Australian Geoscience Data Cube. The video was produced to support Project C3 of the Marine Biodiversity Hub NESP programme.

Use Cases

• Visualizing coastal erosion or accretion patterns based on the 104 Landsat observations.
• Analyzing long-term environmental change in a specific estuary system based on the 25-year time range.
• Demonstrating the application of satellite data cubes for environmental monitoring as part of the NESP programme.

Strengths

• Contains 104 distinct Landsat observations, providing multiple data points for analysis.
• Covers a 25-year time period from 1988 to 2013, enabling long-term trend observation.
• Focuses on a specific, defined geographic area: the Murray Mouth and Lower Lakes, SA.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data freshness should be verified; the last metadata update is 2026-07-22, but the core data ends in 2013.
• The primary data format is a video file, which may limit quantitative analysis compared to raw raster data.
