Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Whether you are in the early stages of your career or an experienced professional, CSIRO can further enhance your expertise in research and development plus gain commercial exposure.

CSIRO’s Energy Transformed Flagship aims to lower greenhouse gas emissions by providing sustainable, efficient, cost-effective energy solutions.

The first international conference held in Australia to discuss the science and options for adapting to climate change begins on the Gold Coast on Tuesday 29 June.

The world's deep ocean researchers – scientists whose field of interest extends into the uncertain world below about 2000 metres – met in Hobart this week to discuss deep ocean changes, their causes and their implications.

The theme of the International Mineral Processing Congress (IMPC) 2010 is 'Smarter Processing for the Future' and will feature the best in leading edge research and development.

This conference will cover a wide range of technical issues - from how hydrogen is safely produced, stored, transported and utilised to broader topics such as environment, education and regulatory developments.

Tackling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is considered to be one of the most serious national and international challenges of our time. Australia has a sizable potential to sequester carbon and mitigate GHG in agricultural production and land use systems.

A team of more than 70 Australian and international scientists has produced the first-ever benchmark of climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and options for adapting.

CSIRO's geophysics capability contributes to a range of research applications from mineral exploration and mine safety to monitoring carbon dioxide storage.

Computational fluid dynamics is a key tool for optimising performance, developing new processes, and improving the design and operation of equipment.

On 13 October, Professor Lawrence Mysak presented the 2009 Priestley Lecture at CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research in Aspendale, Victoria. Watch his presentation in the video (62:48) or download the PowerPoint slides (49 pages).
