Spectral, Thermal and Active Remote Sensing (STARS) data resource

• STARS data resource is a temporal (time-bound) information that measures the physiognomic and geomorphic characteristics of the Earth’s surface.

• STARS imagery used to detect, map and monitor changes in different Earth surface features (such as landslides, volcano eruption, waterbodies, geothermal and alteration mineral sites) in NZ, SW Pacific islands and other regions of interest where GNS Science has geoscience research projects.


• STARS data resource constitutes on Spectral images (visible, multispectral and hyperspectral) and field-based spectral reflectance libraries as well as Thermal and Active (Synthetic Aperture Radar) Remotely Sensed images.

• The STARS data resource covers images from 2007 onwards.

• The STARS data resource contains raw and processed Spectral images acquired from a range of satellites covering different geographic regions of New Zealand and project sites outside of New Zealand.

• Raw, atmospheric and ortho-corrected high-resolution imagery from SPOT series, QuickBird, GeoEye, WorldView series, Pleides, RapidEye and Planet satellites etc.

• Mosaics prepared from Sentinel and Landsat series imagery. The raw imagery is available from main data providers’ web portals.

• Spectral libraries are captured either in-situ (in the field) or ex-situ (from samples collected from field).

• Thermal RS data covers FLIR Thermal images are processed as Land Surface Temperature for research interest areas such as the Crater Lake, the White Island and a few geothermal anomalous areas.

• Active RS data resource covers selected SAR images of AirSAR, TopSAR and Sentinel-1A/B images related to flood mapping incidents in NZ.
