Developing a genomic selection platform for the Tasmanian salmon industry

World leading science achieved through CSIRO Business Unit collaboration and external industry partnership.

Estimating the heart-rate and detection of the feeding events of fish using an implantable biologger

The monitoring of the physiology and behaviour of marine animals living undisturbed in their natural habitats can provide valuable data on their well-being and response to environmental stressors.

Fast Glider for Broad-Scale Coral Reef Surveys

Coral reefs are beautiful but vulnerable, and have historically been difficult to monitor. CSIRO’s Data61 is working with Babel-sbf to automate broad-scale monitoring and surveying methods.

Flood Adaptation Solutions Tool C-FAST

Data61 is developing C-FAST, an integrated adaptation framework for cities at risk from coastal inundation and flooding events. Stakeholders will be able to use C-FAST for urban flood emergency management, identifying community flood risk and for improving infrastructure investment decisions.

INDRA

In a world with emerging uncertainty around environmental and climatic risk, the need to translate risks into impacts and adaptation opportunities at infrastructure scale is paramount.

Marine IoT for Coral Reefs

Coral reefs are beautiful but vulnerable, and have historically been difficult to monitor. CSIRO’s Data61 is using automation to develop new monitoring and surveying methods.

New technologies for sustainable fishing

Sustainable fishing is both a mandated objective of modern fisheries and an expectation of our communities. Like wine and beef, seafood provenance is also an issue for consumers who want to know the source of their seafood, whether it was caught sustainably, or indeed whether it is really the type of fish the vendor says it is. Marine Visual Technologies (MVT) is developing solutions to support sustainable fisheries management, and seafood supplies chains, from boat to plate.

Helping sugarcane growers protect the Great Barrier Reef

An app to manage nitrogen fertiliser in sugarcane farming.

App gives farmers real-time grain of truth

Australian farmers can monitor their grain yield at the touch of a button, thanks to a smart phone app, Graincast™

HydraSpectra

In Australia, algal blooms result in significant costs to affected communities, and environmental managers struggle to adequately monitor their jurisdictions.

Innovation in water resources

CSIRO's Data61 has partnered with one of Australia's largest water exchanges to create the first water-options market in the world. This work has leveraged off the Data61 RiskLab options pricing technologies which have been developed for financial markets and will enable effective risk management of the most important natural resources in the Australian agriculture sector.

Smart Farming - Agriculture 4.0

Our Cyber Physical Systems research group is working to transform Australia's agricultural sector through the introduction of autonomous technologies.

WaterWise: helping farmers reduce the water footprint of high value crops

Using our new WaterWise technology, for the first time, growers can see in real time the water stress of their crop and can predict their crops' future water needs.

Weather Together - A tailored weather forecast

Transforming weather forecast data and tailoring it for farmers and agribusiness

Camazotz: smart tech keeping track of bats

Our sustainable and versatile tracking system Camazotz is being used to monitor flying foxes across Australia, helping ecologists understand and predict the spread of disease.

Bio-sensors: discovering the secret life of oysters

We have developed a world first mollusc bio-sensor capable of delivering physiological data in real-time from animals in commercial environments.

Sense-T: intelligent sensor network

Sense-T is creating the world's first economy-wide intelligent sensor network that integrates different data sources to build a digital view of Tasmania.

Assessing collision risk between ships and whales

We're working with partners in Perth, the US and New Zealand to assess the risk of collisions between ships and humpback whales in the Great Barrier Reef region.
