80 years: Australian science, Australia’s future

This video showcases 80 years of science achievement to mark CSIRO's 80th anniversary in 2006. (4:00)

Martin Cole: nonthermal food processing technologies and food industry megashocks

Food and health related 'megashocks', innovative processing technologies and export opportunities will be key drivers for the food industry into the future, according to Martin Cole, Chief of CSIRO Animal, Food and Health Sciences.

Integrated assessment of urban sustainability at East Lake

CSIRO researchers are developing a software platform to integrate sustainability assessment across urban domains including health, water, transport and energy.

Biomedical Materials and Devices video

The Biomedical Materials and Devices Theme is focused on developing materials and prototype devices for application in diagnosis, tissue repair, replacement and regeneration. (4:43)

Australian Soil Resource Information System (ASRIS)

ASRIS is a collation of the best available, nationally consistent data and information on Australia’s soil and land resources. It facilitates better planning and decision making.

Land Monitor: mapping soil salinity for better land management

CSIRO scientists have developed a technique using satellite maps to estimate the present and future extent of salinity in south Western Australia.

Climate Adaptation Flagship

Enabling Australia to adapt more effectively to the impacts of climate change and variability and informing national planning, regulation and investment decisions.

Surface initiated polymerisation

Building biological information into device and material coatings during polymerisation.

The RAFT process on a molecular level

This video shows just one polymer chain being created from the addition of a monomer to the Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) agent. (0:30)

Fibre Science and Engineering Research Program: research capabilities

This video illustrates the capabilities of the CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering, Fibre Science and Engineering Research Program, operating at Belmont, Geelong and Clayton, Victoria, Australia. (3:06)

Climate questions: How reliable are climate models?

The ability of climate models to project future climate is often questioned. There will always be a range of uncertainty in climate projections. Climate models, which are based on the laws of physics and thoroughly tested, provide credible quantitative estimates of future climate change.

Speeding up science: CSIRO's CPU-GPU supercomputer

CSIRO's latest supercomputer cluster is among the world's first to combine traditional CPUs with more powerful graphics processing units or GPUs, providing a world class computational and simulation science facility to advance priority CSIRO science.

Government and Commercial services

Our Government and Commercial Services research team is helping the services sector better understand their business, customers and competitors to make more informed decisions about how they operate and deliver services.

Australia's largest solar thermal research hub

The first of its kind in Australia, this large-scale demonstration site will be an international hub for researching and commercialising concentrated solar energy technologies.

Water Book

This publication provides the latest information on the status of Australia’s water resources and their future prospects, the many values we hold for water, and the potential for using water more effectively to meet the growing demands of cities, farmers, industries, and the environment.

Making 'next gen' ready-to-eat meals with high pressure processing

Innovation will be crucial to the food processing sector, Australia’s largest manufacturing industry, to meet increasing food demand, especially in light of a highly urbanised population and lifestyle-related health concerns.

Climate questions: Understanding current climate change in a palaeoclimatic context

The Earth’s climate has varied naturally over hundreds of millions of years – why should we believe humans are causing current changes? Understanding past changes between glacial and interglacial periods helps us to understand how unusual the current warming is. For example, the linear warming trend over the past 50 years of 0.13 °C per decade is much more rapid than the rate of warming between ice ages and warm interglacial periods of around 0.01 °C per decade.

Australian scientific collaboration set to break world’s reliance on fish for long chain omega-3

A pioneering research alliance is on the way to breaking the world's reliance on fish stocks for supply of long chain omega-3.

Working together

CSIRO has developed a collaborative environment allowing people in multiple locations to work together in real-time on documents, data and high resolution images.

Flow Assurance: subsea technologies for oil and gas

CSIRO is working on a number of subsea technologies to gain access to previously inaccessible gas reserves and ensure the smooth flow of oil and gas in subsea pipelines.

Biomedical Materials and Devices research videos

The Biomedical Materials and Devices theme has a number of research programs that involved the development of new platform materials and stem cell technologies. Watch the videos highlighting this research.
