Eureka! They've done it. 👏 Two of our research teams were recognised with awards at last night's Australian Museum Eureka Prizes. 🏆 Together with the Bureau of Meteorology, our Bluelink Global Ocean Science team won the Defence Australia Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Safeguarding Australia. 🏆 Our Omega-3 Oil team, in partnership with Nuseed (Grains Research and Development Corporation), won the University of Sydney Eureka Prize for Sustainability Research. These teams have been recognised for their work safeguarding Australia and supporting future global sustainability. Meet the recipients and find out about their work. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gM6g8Ur6

A full circle moment for plastic. 🌱 Together with Murdoch University, we've launched an $8 million Bioplastics Innovation Hub that will work with industry partners to develop a new generation of 100 per cent compostable plastics. The collaboration aims to revolutionise plastic packaging by developing biologically derived plastic that can break down in compost, land, or water.

The key to solving major global challenges? Science diplomacy. 🔑 This week, our Counsellor and Director of Southeast Asia Amelia Fyfield presented to Australian diplomats around the world on the importance of Science Diplomacy. Amelia emphasised that here at CSIRO, science diplomacy is not just the responsibility of a few — it is embedded in the work of all our scientists, researchers, engineers, and program managers. We are all responsible for advancing our global scientific mission through collaboration and innovation. We believe that science, when coupled with diplomacy, has the power to solve some of the world’s most intractable and challenging problems.

Will extreme wind events become more severe in the future? Spring is generally the windiest season in Australia because of the temperature difference between the warm low latitudes and cold high latitudes. The extreme heat in central to northern Australia, together with the typical cool temperatures in southern Australia and Southern Ocean, has set up a very strong temperature gradient, which drives spring storminess. Modelling extreme wind gusts is still in its infancy and, given the limitations of historical observations, it is too early to say if extreme winds are likely to become more damaging in the future. Researchers at Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water's National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Climate Systems Hub, led by us, and the University of Melbourne are developing new approaches to apply climate models to extreme winds caused by thunderstorms.

Turtle-y adorable and turtle-y vulnerable. 🐢 These are baby Flatback Turtles (Natator depressus). They've just hatched and are heading for the ocean. Flatback Turtles, like Green (Chelonia mydas), and Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), are classed as vulnerable. The other three marine turtles found in Australia's waters, Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and Olive Ridley Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) are endangered. Australian marine turtles are threatened by rising temperatures, coastal development, plastic pollution and feral animals. But all is not lost. This #BiodiversityMonth, learn about some promising turtle conservation projects: https://lnkd.in/g3y5tf3M 📹 | ace_tanley on Instagram

Research worth its weight in gold. ✨ Our researchers, including Weihua Liu, are digging deeper into how gold is produced and the potential role electricity plays in the process. Their findings suggest that electricity produced by the pressure of earthquakes may help gold nuggets form in quartz. 🗞️ | Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)

What’s on the menu tonight? 🍽️ Although some of us can find the options overwhelming, for some they can be limited. So how can we ensure our food systems deliver sustainability, nutrition and equity for everyone? We brought together a group of food system experts to explore this at the recent launch of Food System Horizons. Here’s what they found: https://lnkd.in/gdQhRDUs

Bite into better habits. 🍎 We've launched a new tool designed to help Australians break free from unhealthy eating habits and build healthier habits to make sustainable changes to health. The free, online Healthy Habits Quiz is based on psychology and behavioural science. It assesses participants’ habit strength, moods and tempting foods, providing tailored, science-backed guidance to make and break habits for a healthier lifestyle.

Plastic fantastic innovation. 🙌 We're excited to announce the launch of the $8 million Bioplastics Innovation Hub, a collaboration with Murdoch University to develop 100 per cent compostable plastics. The Hub is working with industry to develop commercially viable compostable plastics as an alternative to traditional plastics. The new cutting-edge materials will provide solutions to support sustainable bioplastic production and Australia’s circular economy. One of our first projects is working with WA-based biotechnology company ECOPHA to develop a new process for water bottle production using food waste.
