DATA ARCHIVE

Most of the data shown here is available

on application to ARA.

Some of it may only be used for research purposes.

If you would like to get the data, send an email to

data@airborneresearch.org.au

and tell us who you are and

what you would like to use the data for.

 

Data is provided "as is" - in a form as is available from the archive without further processing. If further processing is required/desired, please state this in your email and we will see what we can do.

 

Whenever the data is used in any publication or presentation,

ARA needs to be informed and acknowledged.

 

Over the next few weeks and months, many more data sets will become available here - from most of our sensors.

LiDAR
 
LiDAR data is usually available as
laz-files for discrete returns
and in GeoLAS- and  PulseWave-format for waveforms.
Other formats are also available by request.

The main purpose of the study was to map Dinosaur footprints around Broome and the Dampier Peninsula in a joint ARC-funded project with Steve Salisbury from the University of Queensland and others.

 

Secondary purposes were collaborations with Mick O'Leary (Curtin University), Ryan Lowe (UWA) and Jeff Hansen (UWA) to study Cape Range and the Ningaloo Coast; and with Lynnath Beckley (Murdoch University) and Scott Whiting (DPaW) to establish a baseline in terms of LiDAR and hyperspectral images along the coast from Mundabullangana via the 80 Mile Beach to Broome and then on to Willie Creek.

 

- Trans-Australia Railway between Forrest and Kalgoorlie;

- parts of Cape Range and Ningaloo Coast near Exmouth;

- most of the coast line from Mundabullangana to Broome;

- the coast from Broome to the North for about 70km.
