Research will change understanding of Australian Aboriginal rock art found in rock shelters of the Kimberley and its relationship to a changing landscape

Radiocarbon dating of mud wasp nests was used as an indirect method of dating the Gwion Gwion style.

Year 11 STEM student and aspiring physicist was given the opportunity of a lifetime to tour ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus and meet some of Australia’s top researchers.

Launch of the second phase of construction of the underground laboratory to detect dark matter.

Research has helped build a record of rainfall during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, and shed light on the strategies of Indigenous Australians to cope with a changing landscape.

Cracking the code for crop nutrition and food quality with X-ray fluorescence microscopy.

As a result of the successful optimisation testwork, Peak Resources has commissioned ANSTO Minerals to operate the pilot plant to validate the optimised “Alkali Roast” process flowsheet that has been selected by Peak for the Bankable Feasibility Study. The study is expected to be completed by early 2017.

An analysis program for viewing and analysing near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra.

Principal Research Scientist Andrew Smith is travelling to the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica with American collaborators on a 3-year National Science Foundation project now in its final year that involves mining tonnes of ice for palaeoclimate research.

Given the importance of water in Australia, surprisingly, there is relatively little information about the past variability of rainfall on this continent. Although there is a good annual record of the past 100 years in Australia, there is nothing much before that period and no known cave deposit records exist for New South Wales.

ANSTO has played a formative role and continues to make important contributions using nuclear and isotopic techniques to understand past climates and patterns of change, maintain water resource sustainability and provide insights into the impact of contaminate in the environment.

ANSTO has installed a radon detector for Curtin University in Burrup WA as part of the Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program

Australasia is home to some of the oldest rock art motifs in the world. In tropical latitudes, due to climate change, the rock art deterioration is accelerating.

Stage 1 of the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory was officially opened today. It will be home to multi-disciplinary scientists from five research partners who help us understand dark matter.

Powder diffraction and X-ray fluorescence microscopy support investigation of pigments in rock art.
