Earth Analytics Science and Innovation platform (EASI)

CSIRO has implemented a new, online high-performance data analytics platform (DataCube), that ‘turbo-charges’ our capacity to process vast amounts of Earth observation and other geospatial data, for use in research and commercial services and to support and grow Australia's digital economy.

Satellite Cal/Val

Calibration and validation (cal/val) is essential to both understanding and quantifying the quality and accuracy of Earth Observation data products. Australia has significant advantages for cal/val activities, with a clear atmosphere, several natural calibration targets, unique soils, hydrological conditions and vegetation systems.
