We used Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) technologies combined with collations of observed soil colour data from TERN's Soil Data Federation System, to produce surface and subsoil maps of soil colour at a 90 m resolution. The map gives an estimate of the spatial distribution of RGB soil colour across Australia. Detailed information about the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia can be found at - SLGA.

Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2020; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx 90 m); Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Data license : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF;
