National Research Flagships offer full and top-up Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships to high quality students who wish to work on a Flagship research project.

CSIRO has a long history of engagement with Chile, primarily in mining, forestry, marine, agricultural and astronomy research.

Scientists are reporting significant changes in the distribution of coastal fish species in south-east Australia which they say are partly due to climate change.

A more flexible approach to the expansion of protected area systems could ultimately protect much more biodiversity for the same budget according to a new paper in the scientific journal Nature.

The Climate Adaptation Futures Conference will showcase leading impacts and adaptation research from around the world and explore their contribution to planning and policy making.

The Adaptation Challenges Workshop is a side event to the 2010 International Climate Change Adaptation Conference.

Government, industry and the community need to work together to consider how best to plan for rising sea levels that will affect coastal communities, industries and ecosystems.

Rising ocean temperatures pose a threat to fisheries and marine biodiversity. CSIRO scientists are studying how climate change will affect Australia’s oceans, and developing adaptation options to respond to these challenges.

The Coastal Collaboration Cluster will help coastal communities maintain economic and social values while using ecosystems more sustainably.

The first-ever Australian benchmark of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and options for adaptation is the work of more than 70 marine scientists. (4:23)

Ms Anne-Maree Dowd is an applied research expert in climate change mitigation, adaptation, behaviour change, public perception, community engagement, organisational behaviour and communication.

Mr Allen Kearns, Deputy Chief at CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems, is responsible for a wide range of strategic science planning, business development, science consultancies, and corporate governance activities within the division.

CSIRO is conducting research to help Australia address the challenges in adapting to climate change by providing the scientific basis to support sound adaptation decisions. (32 pages)

Farming Ahead magazine regularly features CSIRO's research for the agricultural sector. This is a list of CSIRO articles published in the magazine throughout 2010.

This report examines the potential impact of climate change on weeds in South Australia and adaptation options for weed control strategies.

This fact sheet details how CSIRO Plant Industry scientists are investigating the impact of extreme drought on the population dynamics and evolution of both native and introduced plant species in arid and semi-arid regions of Australia. (2 pages)
