Desert Uplands 1: Acoustic Monitoring Data from Queensland

Desert Uplands 1 Acoustic Data Collection contains audio files from a site established in 2025 by QUT and TERN with Queensland Government co-investment. Four acoustic recorders collected continuous audio data following the A2O project deployment protocols. The dataset is hosted by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze biodiversity and species presence based on continuous audio recordings.
• Study temporal patterns in environmental soundscapes based on data from four recorders.
• Benchmark acoustic monitoring techniques based on the A2O project deployment protocols.

Strengths

• Data collection follows established protocols from the A2O project.
• Four recorders provide spatial coverage for the Desert Uplands 1 site.
• Dataset is hosted by the authoritative Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network.

Limitations

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