CSIRO Number: EP-30-07-12-44 This document provides descriptions of the publicly available, ASTER geoscience products (Version 1) for Australia (Tables 2 and 3- pages 17 and 23), including: (i) how the products were generated; (ii) accuracy; and (iii) examples of how they can be used for different geological applications. There are seventeen geoscience products including fourteen from ASTER’s nine visible, near-infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) “reflected ” bands as well as three from ASTER’s five thermal infrared (TIR) bands. Note that the TIR products do not have the same level of calibration/validation as the VNIR-SWIR bands, which were calibrate/validated using satellite Hyperion imagery. The Australian ASTER geoscience maps can be obtained from: (i) th
