Assessing the impacts of plastics in our oceans and seas
ANSTO plastic trawling from Hobart to Sydney
Proton Elastic Scattering
Proton Elastic Scattering (PESA) is ideally suited to the measurement of hydrogen concentration in thin samples.
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA) is used principally as a method for measuring hydrogen in thin layers, and in the near-surface region of materials.
Micro-Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis
Micro-Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (µERDA) is used to reconstruct elemental maps from scanned raster points.
High-temperature Quasi-Elastic Scattering on Pelican
ANSTO supports innovative industry process to minimise plastic waste and maximise feed stock for 3D printing
Sutherland Shire locals invited to become ANSTO Citizen Scientists
Some surprises about the degradation of microplastics in our oceans
The process by which plastic degrades in the ocean facilitates its entry into the natural carbon cycle efficiently as carbon dioxide.

Jack the Super Prawn
Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Barrier Reef and uses his powers to protect the environment. With JackVac, he cleans up rubbish and impurities in seawater. With JackCopter, he soars high into the air, where you wouldn't normally see a prawn. Of course, powers like that help Jack find and clear up waste plastic. But Jack's main job is to educate young readers.

Jack the Super Prawn
Jack the Super Prawn lives in the Great Barrier Reef and uses his superpowers to protect the environment. With JackVac around his arms and JackPac on his back, he cleans up plastic pollution and impurities in the water. With JackCopter, he soars through the water and high into the air. Jack’s main job is to educate young readers on the impact of plastic and other types of pollution and to empower them to find a solution.
Created by Antoine Jaja, Jack’s first two adventure books entitled, “Drastic Plastic” and “Pollution Solution,” are now available in paperback in bookstores throughout Australia, as well as the ANSTO Shop. ANSTO has endorsed and was pleased to provide scientific input into the development of stories that are helping to raise awareness of the impact of pollution on our waterways and the marine environment.
ANSTO has a range of experts in environmental science, including Dr Tom Cresswell, who is undertaking research in this area and was able to provide scientific context and background to support the development of these adventure stories.
Antoine has developed a free “Jack the Super Prawn” video game on App Store and Google play, and a Teacher’s Guide Activities for children.
