Leading fine particle pollution monitoring reaches 30yr milestone & looks to the future
ANSTO commenced an aerosol sampling program thirty years ago this week to characterise these pollutants and ultimately, identify their sources, which has taken it to the forefront of environmental monitoring of this type in Australia and the region.
Studying Western Australian caves to help us understand climate change
On average, there is now 17 per cent less rainfall across Western Australia’s south-western region than was recorded prior to 1970. This rainfall reduction has economic, social and environmental implications for the region, in particular for the growing capital of Perth, as well as water-dependent industries in the state.
