The focus of the latest IPCC report is as much on identifying effective responses as on understanding challenges.
Scientists at ANSTO are contributing to the knowledge of climate science using cutting-edge nuclear techniques.
ANSTO's Institute for Environmental Research studies past climate patterns, analyses natural water systems, traces the sources of air pollution, examines human impacts on the environment, and researches the environmental impact of nuclear operations and radioactive waste to ensure continued and improved safe management of nuclear technology.
Australian and International researchers also conduct complex climate research using ANSTO’s state of the art instruments at the Australian Synchrotron and in the Bragg Institute.
ANTARES and STAR accelerators are among the best instruments in the world for measuring isotopes by their mass, and support answering questions at unparalleled levels of detail about what the Earth was like from hundreds to millions of years ago.
