TERN monitors terrestrial ecosystems in Australia and provides model-ready data for research.
Dataset
e-Atlas
eAtlas shares environmental research, maps, and data for tropical Australia, including guidance for managing restricted research datasets.
About e-Atlas
eAtlas publishes environmental research, maps and data for tropical Australia. Its recent content includes articles on marine surveys, satellite imagery, and drone surveys of the Norfolk Island coastline, along with a set of seagrass and benthic survey datasets from the Torres Strait and Arnhem Land.
The site also offers guidance for restricted research datasets. The Sensitive Data Access Control Plan is a form for recording why a dataset is sensitive, what uses may be acceptable, who should be consulted about access, and how the data should be managed after the original project team has finished. Datasets that cannot be published openly can still be described through public metadata.
