ANSTO has been tracking and publishing data on fine particle pollution from key sites around Australia, and internationally, for more than 20 years.  

Primary students across Australia were invited to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia for our 2020 Shorebirds Competition. In response to COVID-19, and the changes to children’s learning environments, we opened the competition early and also included categories for individual children to enter, as well as school children.

From June to August we invited primary schools in Greater Sydney/Illawarra and Melbourne to participate in our 2019 Shorebirds Competition. Students in Years 3 to 6 were asked to create a public awareness poster for a threatened shorebird found in Australia.

ANSTO offers a diverse range of career opportunities within science, engineering, corporate services and trade disciplines.

The role of trace elements as palaeoclimate proxies has been explored in ANSTO-led collaborative environmental research.

Within the bulk structure of such glasses, boron is known to be a key actor, as it exhibits intriguing and composition-dependent changes in coordination state that often drive properties.

The Infrared Microspectroscopy beamline combines the high brilliance and collimation of the synchrotron beam through a Bruker V80v Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and into a Hyperion 3000 IR microscope to reach high signal-to-noise ratios at diffraction limited spatial resolutions between 3-8 μm.

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.

ANSTO scientists were members of an inter-disciplinary team led by the University of Sydney, who examined six 19th century West African swords, using a non-invasive multi-methodological approach to reveal the composition and manufacturing history of the iron implements.

ANSTO’s user office in Melbourne offers access to the Australian Synchrotron, a world-class research facility with over 4,000 user visits per year. ANSTO seeks collaboration and partnerships with research organisations, scientific users and commercial users.

Most fingermark research has largely focussed on the organic material in residues. Consequently, a gap in fundamental knowledge exists when it comes to inorganic components such as metals.

(ANSTO) has welcomed the launch of the new National Science Statement and revitalised National Science and Research Priorities by Minister for Industry and Science, The Hon Ed Husic MP and Australia’s Chief Scientist, Dr Cathy Foley AO PSM.
