A time series video illustrates coastal change at the southern end of Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia. It was created using 118 Landsat observations from the Australian Geoscience Data Cube between 1987 and 2016 to support Project C3 of the Marine Biodiversity Hub NESP programme 2015/2016. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network on data.gov.au.
Use Cases
- Visualizing coastal erosion or accretion patterns based on the 30-year time series of Landsat observations.
- Demonstrating the application of the Australian Geoscience Data Cube for environmental monitoring as described in the project context.
- Providing a qualitative baseline for coastal change studies in the Southern Stradbroke Island region of Queensland.
Strengths
- Covers a 30-year time range from 1987 to 2016.
- Based on 118 satellite observations from the Landsat program.
- Created for a specific research project (Project C3 of the Marine Biodiversity Hub NESP programme).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the specific satellite source and location.
