    CSIRO’s research in this area enables decision makers in business and industry to understand their data and to make reliable, productive and informed decisions.

  • Research scientist in the Daintree measures the weight of non-target species trapped in areas where feral pig baits have been laid.

    CSIRO's Healthy Terrestrial Ecosystems theme brings together multi-disciplinary teams to develop new technologies and approaches to promote ecosystem function and prediction to inform biodiversity management, planning and incentives.

  • A frame from the video about programming graphics processing units.

    CSIRO researchers have been researching ways to use graphics processing units (GPUs) to speed up scientific computing. CSIRO researchers Dr John A Taylor and Dr Luke Domanski discuss this in this video. (2:38)

  • A view of the desktop and wall screens of the Water Resources Observation Network Visualisation Centre.

    The Water Research Observation Network (WRON) Visualisation Centre provides an environment for the investigation and development of visualisation tools and interfaces that display information in an engaging and easily understood manner as shown in this video. (2:27)

  • Digital Vegetation Maps indicating average intensity, digital elevation model and vegetation height

    Learn about lidar, a technology that uses high-speed laser pulses to generate three-dimensional structural data about the terrain and landscape features. CSIRO scientists are using lidar to investigate vegetation in native and plantation forests.

  • A picture of a termite

    This fact sheet describes the many ways in which termites contribute to ecosystem health in northern Australia. Termite activity affects water infiltration, nutrient cycling, biodiversity and landscape repair.
