Abstract or Summary RapidEye visible, red edge and near infrared data (of 6.5 m spatial resolution) were obtained for Kakadu NP through the Planet Lab’s Inc. Ambassador Program. Four scenes each from 2014 and 2016 were calibrated to surface reflectance using the ARCSI software (Bunting et al., 2017) and subsequently combined into a two mosaics, one for each year. From each mosaic, the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was calculated and compared. The difference in the NDVI between 2016 and 2014 indicates the extent of mangrove dieback, which was observed from late 2015.
