Many aspects of environmental monitoring require very sensitive detection techniques for precise measurement of the very low levels of radionuclides found in the environment.
Research documenting the melting of ice sheets in East Antarctica since the last ice age is providing crucial data to project 21st century sea-level rises.
History books say links between East and West only date back 2000 years, but work by nuclear scientists are pushing those dates back to 4000 years.
Research using nuclear science to trace soil in one of the areas affected in the 'Black Saturday' bushfires is explaining the impact of soil erosion.

They are apex predators with almost no equal, but growing global populations and unsustainable fishing practices are threatening the diversity of Bull and Pig-eye sharks in tropical ecosystems.
Scientists from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) are lining up to share the love on Hug a Climate Scientist Day.
