All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description

This dataset contains all materials generated during a systematic review of artificial intelligence and remote sensing research focused on vegetation and hydrology in the Arctic and Antarctic from 2005 to 2025. It includes the full set of screened records, documentation of inclusion and exclusion decisions, structured summaries of all eligible studies, bibliographic files, and thematic groupings used to classify research domains. Also provided are network-ready text files describing author collaborations, keyword co-occurrence patterns, and conceptual linkages within the literature. Each spreadsheet and text file includes clear explanations of column names, variable meanings, and dataset structure to ensure long-term usability.

A repository containing workflow documentation, figures, and supporting materials is available at:https://github.com/Narmilan-A/Systematic-Review-Toolkit

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to provide a transparent, reusable, and fully documented evidence base that supports the systematic review of GeoAI methods, applied to vegetation and hydrology in polar regions. The dataset enables: (i) reproducibility of the screening and selection process; (ii) re-analysis of bibliometric networks; (iii) comparison across remote sensing platforms, sensors, and AI approaches; and (iv) long-term availability of cleaned, structured metadata for researchers investigating Arctic and Antarctic environmental change. Future users can employ these files to update the review, build benchmark datasets, or examine methodological trends in polar ecosystem monitoring.
