Mapping Australia’s Coast with Landsat Satellite Imagery

  • If you're looking to get into Landsat imagery yourself, I highly recommend the command line tool landsat-util[1] (although you do need to install it using Python 2). It allows you to search with lat/lon pairs, cloud cover, etc, and comes with tools to automatically do the band combining for you so you can have easy real-color images.

    I find the the browser-friendly tools like LandsatLook[2] or Earth Explorer[3] to be more difficult to use, but if you're interested USGS has posted some great tutorials for them on YouTube[4]. There are also some interesting ideas about how to use the data itself beyond just creating pretty pictures.
