The Vegetation Sites Database (VSD) is a vegetation and land information system for managing systematically collected site based data and point source records (i.e. threatened species). It is used to store information on the floristics and structure of site based surveys as well as both fine and broader scale environmental attributes. VSD accommodates data requirements of DEPWS and outside agencies (including environmental consultants).
This data package comprises fire severity scores from Kakadu in 2014. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots (40 m x 20 m) were established across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in 1994-1995 to monitor biotic change. Of these, 132 plots are located in Kakadu. These sample a variety of landform and vegetation type/habitat conditions. A substantial proportion of plots were positioned deliberately at sites likely to reveal environmental dynamics, especially at ecotones and in patches of fire-sensitive vegetation. For example stands of Callitris, sandstone heaths.
ESRI File Geodatabase detailing Geoscape Australia's National Roads dataset, consisting of roads, street_locality_line and street_locality_alias tables. The roads table provides a linear vector representation of road features across Australia that delivers an optimised and aggregated view of road geometry and attribution. It identifies and describes transport routes that enable vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle transportation, as well as ferry routes that allow for transport across water.
Geoscape Australia is the trading name of PSMA Australia Limited, a self-funded public company owned by Australia’s governments.
They deliver spatial data to enable economic, social and environmental outcomes across the economy. Their vision is achieved through a wide and sustained ecosystem of partnerships and collaboration.
The TERN Ecosystem Processes dataset, delivered by TERN as Linked Data.
TERN’s Ecosystem Processes platform monitors the environment at a high level of detail at a small number of representative sites. The data collection methods for Ecosystem Processes include intensive field stations which combine instrumented or sensor measurements with classical field surveys and remote sensing activities at the sites located in significant Australian biomes, spanning a wide range of environmental conditions.
This database contains occurrence data for vertebrates across the Australian Wet Tropics. Species occurrence point data has been collected during field intensive surveys using a variety of sampling methods as well as from the literature and institutional databases. The records are divided into two tables: Misc_records and STD_records. The first contains records collated opportunistically, as well as records collected from literature. The latter is a collection of standardized surveys conducted by Steve E. Williams (JCU).
The University of Melbourne is a public research university located in Melbourne, Australia. Founded in 1853, it is Australia's second oldest university and the oldest in Victoria. Its main campus is located in Parkville, an inner suburb north of Melbourne's central business district, with several other campuses located across Victoria.
ICSM Conceptual Model for 3D Cadastral Survey Dataset Submissions.
The Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) was established by the Prime Minister, State Premiers, and the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory in 1988. Since that time the Australian Capital Territory and New Zealand have joined ICSM. The Australian Defence forces are also represented on ICSM.
Membership is comprised of senior representatives of surveying and mapping agencies.
This model allows for complex labels may be assigned to geospatial features.
The purpose of this model is to act as an "upper" or background model for specialised feature labelling models, such as models for addresses, roads, administrative areas/boundaries, place names etc.
