Here we map Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCE) for PNG using Earth observation data for 2020. This research project aimed to evaluate Living Earth for obtaining consistent and quantified information on blue carbon ecosystem states and dynamics. The objectives focused on evaluating a) the transferability of the existing infrastructure to other big data platforms and to a new geography or ecosystem of interest, namely the tropical coastal environments of Papua New Guinea, and b) the translatability of algorithms for extracting environmental descriptors from EO data between countries and regions and constructing comparable classifications of and uncertainty metrics associated with the mapped land covers and changes. For all coastal regions of Papua New Guinea, and using the CSIRO EASI ASIA ODC instance, classifications and linked descriptions of land cover were successfully generated, with these including BCEs and some terrestrial land covers. png_lccs_classification_v0_2_data_merged_final.qml documentDigital HTML png_lccs_classification_v0_2_data_merged_final.tif documentDigital TIFF
