Meteorites from the red desert of Australia support search for life on the red planet Mars
Monash University, University of Queensland and Australian National University researchers have used ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron in their study of meteorites found on Earth that could be used in future to find evidence of life on the planet Mars.
Training session highlighted an approach to calculate the ingested dose of radionuclides in seafood
Dr Mathew Johansen, an environmental scientist at ANSTO, presented in an online IAEA training workshop on Advanced Topics in Radiochemistry Techniques this week.
Imaging technology has the ability to capture and display gamma radiation
A new imaging technology developed at ANSTO makes it possible to image, identify and locate gamma-ray radiation in a safe and timely manner.
Research highlights importance of traditional fire burning practices to ensure survival of tree with Indigenous cultural and ecological significance
Radiocarbon dating at ANSTO’s Centre for Accelerator Science provided strong evidence that some culturally significant trees on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) have persisted for up to more than 500 years

Local Environmental Monitoring
ANSTO is committed to monitoring its environmental performance and providing the community with accurate information about it. We also publish live meteorological data from our 49m Lucas Heights weather tower every 15 minutes.

Little forest legacy site
ANSTO is responsible for the Little Forest Legacy Site (LFLS) located within the ANSTO Buffer Zone boundary. This site, formerly known as the Little Forest Burial Ground (LFBG), was used by the Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) during the 1960’s to dispose of waste containing low levels of radioactivity and beryllium oxide (non-radioactive) in a series of shallow trenches. There has been regular monitoring of the site since 1966 and the results have been reported in ANSTO’s environmental monitoring reports.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
At ANSTO we understand that diverse teams produce better outcomes – and we value the merit that a diverse perspective can bring to the quality and outcomes of our work, and the way we get the job done.
