A consistent, Australia-wide land cover product helps understanding of how the different parts of the environment change and inter-relate. Earth observation data recorded over a period of time firstly allows the observation of the state of land cover at a specific time and secondly the way that land cover changes by comparison between times. For more information please visit https://knowledge.dea.ga.gov.au/data/product/dea-land-cover-landsat. The Land Cover product was made possible through a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, The University of New South Wales and Aberystwyth University.
