DEA Coastlines 2023 Released
The latest release of the coastal dataset features annual shorelines for the year 2023, and new selectable styles is now available.
Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Coastlines combines satellite data with tidal modelling to map the typical location of the Australian coastline at mean sea level for every year since 1988. Resulting shorelines and detailed rates of change show how beaches, sandspits, river mouths, and tidal flats have grown and eroded over time.
An updated version of DEA Coastlines is now available and includes new 2023 continental-wide data for Australia’s coastlines. This latest update also adds new functionality to easily switch between annual shorelines and rates of change on DEA Maps.
We welcome your questions and ongoing input into the development of DEA Coastlines. Please contact us: earth.observation@ga.gov.au
NovaSAR-1 CEOS-ARD products available
CSIRO operates Australia’s share of the NovaSAR-1 satellite as a National Facility for research, with registered users able to access the CSIRO NovaSAR-1 National Facility Datahub and submit new tasking requests at any time. The NovaSAR-1 National Facility enables new remote sensing research, supports satellite tasking and operations training, and enhances the development of Australia’s Earth observation and analytics expertise.
CSIRO has well-recognised expertise and capabilities in using satellite-derived data to monitor and manage our environment, including expertise in acquiring, storing, processing and analysing these rapidly growing data sets. However, we recognise that many users and potential users, do not have the same experience or access to the sometimes expensive software to do the same.
Working closely with the international Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (inter-Agency organisation) and its Analysis Ready Data SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) team, under the CEOS Virtual Constellation for Land Surface Imaging (LSI-VC) framework, CSIRO has developed the workflows for generating CEOS-ARD v5.5 NRB compliant NovaSAR-1 ARD products.
Indo-Pacific Space and Earth Conference (IPSEC) 2024
IPSEC is aimed at bringing together leading minds, thought leaders and industry experts from around the globe for opportunities in space and cross-sector technologies and innovation. Through interactive sessions, workshops and discussions, the conference provides a unique platform for attendees to explore the infinite possibilities of space technologies and their impact on Earth, forging collaborations that will drive innovation in various sectors.
Join us again in November 2024 for the next installment of IPSEC for invaluable opportunities to share knowledge, collaborate and network among key industry leaders.

Coastal Imaging Research Network (CIRN) Boot Camp and Workshop
This year, the Coastal Imaging Research Network (CIRN) Boot Camp and Workshop will be held back-to-back at the Water Research Laboratory, UNSW Sydney, Australia. WRL is the modern birthplace of Coastal Engineering in Australia, providing a wide range of consulting and research services since 1959. WRL introduced Coastal Imaging to Australia as part of the Gold Coast Narrowneck Reef in ~2000. Today WRL operates cameras along over 35km of Gold Coast Beaches as well as research sites at Narrabeen-Collaroy, one of the longest routinely monitored beaches in the world.
There is a no cost to attend the bootcamps (Oct 21-22) or CIRN Workshop (Oct 23-25). See descriptions of both events below. Registration is required to attend any the events. A limited virtual option will be available for some events but does require registration. Please note that food, accommodation and transport are not provided. All attendees are expected to cover their own costs.
1 CIRN Bootcamp: Oct 21-22, 2024
The boot camp (Oct 21-22) will provide both the background and hands-on experience in working with coastal imaging for new users. The specific topics of the 2 days are still being decided based on facilitator availability.
We expect 1 day to be a Bootcamp for CoastSat satellite imagery toolbox.
The second day may include options for Planet imagery analysis, UAVs, or other topics.
2 CIRN Workshop: Oct 23-25, 2024
The CIRN workshop (Oct 23-25) will focus on showcasing innovative research on coastal imaging systems and coastal imaging tools utilizing remotely sensed observations. All attendees, especially students, are encouraged to present in this informal environment. Those wishing to present, please include your presentation title in your registration. There will also be planned time for discussion around CiRN activities.
