Australian ASTER and Derived Mineral Products Data Collection

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

Comprises a national satellite imagery mosaic and derived information products produced by a collaboration of CSIRO, Geoscience Australia (GA) and State and Territory Surveys, and several additional national and international collaborators. Mineral products were derived using a validated mosaic of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data. Value: The data are used to understand distributions of and changes in surface materials and assessment of environmental, agricultural and resource potential. Scope: This dataset covers the continent with the intent to provide the best quality mosaic from 10+ year archive of scenes across Australia (i.e., lowest cloud/vegetation cover, high sun angle etc)
