Combining observations of open water, wet vegetation, and vegetation fractional cover allows us to observe the spatiotemporal behaviour of wetlands. We developed a Wetlands Insight Tool (WIT) using Analysis-Ready Data available through Digital Earth Australia that combines Water Observations from Space (WOfS), the Tasseled Cap Wetness Transform (TCW) and Fractional Cover into an asset drill. We demonstrate the tool on three Australian wetlands, showing changes in water and vegetation from bush fires, sand mining and planned recovery. This paper was submitted to/presented at the 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2019) - https://igarss2019.org/
