Description

The Living Coasts project team have introduced the capacity of the Living Earth system for land monitoring into CSIRO's Earth Analytics Science and Innovation platform (EASI) big data storage and analytics platform, with this allowing demonstrated implementation for Papua New Guinea. Living Earth constructs land cover classes from environmental descriptors retrieved or classified from Earth observation data and the transferability of this approach from other Open Data Cube platforms (namely Digital Earth Australia and the Welsh Data Cube) to a new geographical location and EASI has provided a major contribution. The team have also supported the use of Living Earth's mobile application Earthtrack for use in coastal environments in Australia and Papua New Guinea, with this allowing real time recording of land cover and change information at the ground level to support validation of national map products (land cover and change).
