Aquatic Substrate Spectral Library for Bolivar, 2001

Record for source data hosted in the National Spectral Database (NSD) Aquatic Library. The dataset is part of a 2007 technical report for the Adelaide Coastal Waters Study, prepared by David Blackburn Environmental Pty Ltd and CSIRO Land and Water. It is managed by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying aquatic substrate types based on spectral signatures.
• Monitoring coastal environmental changes mentioned in the technical report.
• Calibrating remote sensing models for marine and coastal feature interpretation.
• Studying the impact of natural and anthropogenic processes on coastal waters.

Strengths

• Managed by the authoritative Geoscience Australia Data organization.
• Associated with a formal 2007 technical report from CSIRO Land and Water and David Blackburn Environmental Pty Ltd.
• Part of the structured National Spectral Database (NSD) Aquatic Library.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
