Heard Island: baseline data for monitoring longterm change. (b) Vegetation mapping from non-rectified aerial photographs and satellite imagery with accompanying data.

The majority of the coastal areas of Heard Island have had their vegetation mapped using orthophotos (HI_VEG_ORTHO_VEGMAP). For the remaining areas, five sets of shapefiles cover the vegetation mapping for five small areas in the Atlas Cove/north coast region: Pageos Moraine/Kildalkey Head, Azorella...

Description
Summary:The majority of the coastal areas of Heard Island have had their vegetation mapped using orthophotos (HI_VEG_ORTHO_VEGMAP). For the remaining areas, five sets of shapefiles cover the vegetation mapping for five small areas in the Atlas Cove/north coast region: Pageos Moraine/Kildalkey Head, Azorella Peninsula, Hoseason Beach, Saddle Point and Cape Bidlingmaier. These areas were poorly covered by aerial photography, and their vegetation was mapped at low resolution using five separate non-rectified airphotos and satellite images - hence not able to be included as part of the Heard Island georeferenced vegetation dataset. This will be fixed and the data amended. Until this time, the data represent an 'interim' situation of low resolution vegetation mapping for these areas. For each of the five areas there are four shapefiles covering vegetation polygons, 35mm photo locations, aerial photos or satellite images used, and reliability. There is also a folder containing 64 x 35mm scanned photos which were used when vegetation mapping (as in HI_VEG_PHOTOS_VEGMAP). A list of the unrectified aerial photos and satellite imagery used for the vegetation mapping, with locations, is as follows: Azorella Peninsula heard_mosaic_1991_edit (extract of SPOT 1988/1991 image) Pageos Moraine/Kildalkey Head L713609706112001sub (extract of LANDSAT 2001 image) Hoseason Beach antc1206_r1_f13 (1987 aerial photo) Saddle Point casc9500_f38_part (extract of 1980 aerial photo) Cape Bidlingmaier compton_shag (extract of DigitalGlobe 2003 image).
