Land condition monitoring information supports the strategic management of grazing land and better understanding of ecosystem processes. Yet for policy makers and those land managers whose properties are situated within Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef catchments, there has been a general lack of geospatial land monitoring information – until recently. This paper provides an overview of results from three components of integrated land monitoring activity since 2004 in two of the largest GBR catchments. This collaborative work has used remote sensing technologies in producing sophisticated monitoring information for assessing land condition at both property and regional scale.
