3 Abstract

The CANRI RAMS Far West builds on the multiagency Resource Assessment & Monitoring System (RAMS) Far West long term monitoring program. This collaborative program has been using satellite imagery to monitor and map the clearing and cropping activities, annually, within the NSW Western Division at a paddock scale since the early 1980s. The CANRI Far West project will correct GIS topological and misclassification errors in this extensive database, patch a number of temporal gaps, and delivery of a generalised set of grids to the public domain through the CANRI webmapping structure. In general, the project will validate the database to provide reliability appropriate for dissemination to the public
