Digital Earth Australia Landsat Collection Upgrade

Digital Earth Australia is nearing completion of the Geoscience Australia Landsat Collection 3 upgrade project. This is the culmination of 2 years of work to reprocess our foundation datasets using improved source data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

Users of Geoscience Australia Collection 2 are encouraged to use Geoscience Australia Collection 3 data. Please see the following DEA Notebooks for using Geoscience Australia Collection 3 Surface Reflectance NBART data, Fractional Cover and Water Observations.
