Phenomenon predicted by Nobel Prize recipient
ANSTO and UNSW scientists unlock Australia’s bushfire history using stalagmites
The need for a smaller, more transportable version of ANSTO’s 1500-litre atmospheric radon-222 monitor, and with a calibration traceable to the International System of Units, prompted the team to develop a 200-litre radon monitor that would meet those needs.
Preclinical imaging
Expertise in the use of PET and SPECT imaging techniques to understand biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. The techniques ae also used to study disease processes and monitor the effects of new therapies
Synchrotron techniques powerful tool to reveal inner workings of volcanoes
An article in Nature Geosciences has highlighted the power of synchrotron techniques to reveal the inner workings of volcanic systems that could potentially help with predictions of eruptions.

Role at ANSTO
Air pollution from combustion processes in Newcastle
Combustion reactions in vehicles, household woodfires and coal-fired power plants all result in fine particle air pollution in the air we breathe. ANSTO has been measuring and characterising fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia for more than 30 years. This data set provides records from 1998 to 2019 of the concentration of 12 elements present in fine airborne particulate matter from an air sampling station located in Mayfield in Newcastle, NSW.
