    This collection provides additional analyses, figures and tables for an integrated risk assessment of natural, cultural and economic assets in the Kakadu Region of northern Australia, from the combined threats of invasive species (feral animals & aquatic weeds) and climate change induced sea level rise saltwater inundation. It addresses cumulative multiple risks to multiple values over different time frames (Present-day, 2070 & 2100).

    The elevation range measures the full range of elevations within a circular window and can be used as a representation of local relief. The 300 m elevation range product was derived from the Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S; ANZCW0703014016), which was derived from the 1 arc-second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. This collection includes data at 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolutions. The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second 300 m elevation range product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.

    Mean monthly solar radiation was modelled across Australia using topography from the 1 arcsecond resolution SRTM-derived DEM-S and climatic and land surface data. The SRAD model (Wilson and Gallant, 2000) was used to derive: • Incoming short-wave radiation on a sloping surface • Short-wave radiation ratio (shortwave on sloping surface / shortwave on horizontal surface) • Incoming long-wave radiation • Outgoing long-wave radiation • Net long-wave radiation • Net radiation • Sky view factor All radiation values are in MJ/m2/day except for short-wave radiation ratio which has no units. The sky view factor is the fraction of the sky visible from a grid cell relative to a horizontal plane. The radiation values are determined for the middle day of each month (14th or 15th) using long-term average atmospheric conditions (such as cloudiness and atmospheric transmittance) and surface conditions (albedo and vegetation cover). They include the effect of terrain slope, aspect and shadowing (for sun positions at 5 minute intervals from sunrise to sunset), direct and diffuse radiation and sky view. The monthly data in this collection are available at 1 arcsecond resolution as single (mosaicked) grids for Australia in TIFF format. The 1 arcsecond tiled data can be found here: https://data.csiro.au/dap/landingpage?pid=csiro:9631 . The 3 arcsecond resolution versions of these radiation surfaces have been produced from the 1 arcsecond resolution surfaces, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.

    CA_MFD_PARTIAL is contributing area in m2 computed using multiple flow directions on hillslopes and ANUDEM-derived flow directions in channels. The contributing area was computed on 1 degree tiles with 200 cell (about 5 km) overlaps so the areas in channels do not account for catchments beyond that size (hence the use of PARTIAL in the name). The primary purpose of this product was to calculate topographic wetness index (TWI; Gallant and Wilson, 2000) for which full contributing areas in channels are not necessary. Do not use this product to represent contributing areas of catchments larger than 5 km across. The CA_MFD_PARTIAL product was derived from the Hydrologically enforced Digital Elevation Model (DEM-H; ANZCW0703014615), which was derived from the 1 arc-second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. This data is available in tiled format at 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolution. The 3 arc-second resolution product was generated from the 1 arc-second CA_MFD (partial) product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.

    The Prescott Index is a measure of water balance that has proven to be a useful in soil mapping both to stratify study areas for sampling and as a quantitative predictor of soil properties (Prescott, 1949; McKenzie et al, 2000). The index was designed to give an indication of the intensity of leaching by excess water and is calculated using long-term average precipitation P and potential evaporation E, both expressed as mean monthly values in mm (mean annual values divided by 12): PI = 0.445P / E^0.75 The evaporation was estimated from temperature and net radiation; the net radiation was computed by the SRAD solar radiation model using the smoothed 1 arc-second resolution DEM-S (ANZCW0703014016) and includes both regional climatic influences and local topographic effects. Precipitation and temperature were obtained from national climate surfaces averaged over the same time period as the climatic information used in the radiation calculations (1981-2006). The Prescott Index has no units. Larger values indicate wetter conditions. The 3 arc-second resolution version of the Prescott Index has been produced from the 1 arc-second resolution surface, by aggregating the cells in a 3x3 window and taking the mean value.

    This terrestrial LiDAR dataset captures detailed vegetation structural information at the Warra Tall Eucalypt SuperSite in southern Tasmania, Australia. The purpose of this data is to enhance understanding of vegetation dynamics and ecosystem function in the region. The dataset is part of a broader collection of Terrestrial LiDAR data acquired from all TERN SuperSites, aimed at achieving a standardized and highly detailed capture of 3D vegetation structure across Australia.
