Seamounts are underwater mountains that rise at least 1,000 meters from the seafloor without breaking the surface, and they punch far above their weight biologically. Topographic upwelling pulls cold, nutrient-rich water up their slopes, fueling plankton blooms that draw fish, sharks, seabirds, and marine mammals, while their rocky surfaces give slow-growing corals and sponges a rare hard place to root in an otherwise soft-sediment deep sea. Roughly one in five seamount species are endemic, found nowhere else on Earth, which is why scientists call them oases in the deep sea. That's exactly what made a pair of Australian studies so consequential. In 1997, researchers led by Tony Koslow and Karen Gowlett-Holmes of CSIRO Marine Research surveyed seamounts south of Tasmania to test whether bottom trawling for orange roughy was damaging habitat that had taken centuries to form, and whether a proposed marine reserve would actually protect it. What they found on heavily fished seamounts, compared to lightly fished or untouched ones, was stark: stripped reef, collapsed biomass, and far fewer species per sample. A 2009 follow-up study by Althaus and colleagues went further, analyzing tens of thousands of video frames and photos across 25 seamounts, and found coral cover reduced by roughly two orders of magnitude on trawled sites, with no sign of recovery even five years after trawling stopped. Those findings are part of what pushed Matthew Gianni, a former deep-sea fisherman, to help found the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition and push for international protections against high seas bottom trawling. This episode walks through what seamounts are, what the research actually found, and why damage this far down might be effectively permanent on any timescale that matters to us. Takeaways: Seamounts are volcanic underwater mountains that drive upwelling, concentrate biodiversity, and host high rates of endemic species found nowhere else. Bottom trawling for species like orange roughy drags heavy gear across seamount slopes, destroying coral and sponge habitat that can take centuries to build. A 1997 CSIRO-led survey south of Tasmania found dramatically lower biomass and species richness on heavily trawled seamounts compared to lightly fished or untouched ones. A 2009 follow-up study found roughly a hundredfold decline in coral cover on trawled seamounts, with no clear sign of recovery five years after trawling stopped. Because this damage happens far below the surface and outside any sunlight or recreational diving range, it's often invisible until a dedicated scientific survey documents it. This research helped inspire the founding of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition and international efforts to restrict high seas bottom trawling.

Electric vehicles are the future. But here's the problem: India's lithium demand is skyrocketing, but the local supply is nearly zero. Enter pegmatites: fancy, crystal-studded rocks hiding in the Rajasthan desert that might just hold the key to India's battery revolution.Today we're back with Dr Louise Schoneveld and Dr Mario Iglesias-Martinez from CSIRO to tell the complete story of the CSIRO's Australia-India research partnership on critical metals, centering here on lithium exploration. And boy we cover it all. From fieldwork in India's desert landscape to the analytical work happening in Western Australian laboratories, it's a tale involving unexpected geological encounters, shepherd guides, sparkly purple minerals, and the kind of detective work that makes the journey from field to lab the best kind of science.From pegmatite formation theory (yes, there's a debate, of course!) to the geochemistry that helps you sort the lithium-rich rocks from lithium-poor ones, this episode digs into what happens when you find a promising rock in Rajasthan and bring it home to Australia for detailed analysis, and its all part of a larger collaboration to tackle a global supply chain challenge.

El riego deficitario controlado es una estrategia agronómica que aplica agua por debajo del requerimiento óptimo del cultivo en ventanas específicas del ciclo fenológico, sin afectar de forma significativa el rendimiento final. La técnica nació en Australia a mediados de los años noventa, desarrollada por la Universidad de Adelaida junto con el CSIRO para viñedos comerciales.El fundamento fisiológico está en la respuesta hormonal de la planta al estrés hídrico moderado. El ácido abscísico cierra parcialmente los estomas y reduce el crecimiento vegetativo, lo que concentra azúcares, polifenoles y compuestos aromáticos en frutos de vid, olivo, almendro, cítricos, tomate y frutales de hueso.Aplicar esta práctica sin monitoreo fisiológico real es el error más frecuente entre productores. Sensores de humedad, sondas de potencial hídrico foliar y cámaras de presión permiten identificar el momento exacto de restricción, evitando pérdidas de calibre o de cuadre de fruto por estrés no controlado.Variantes como el secado parcial de raíces alternan el riego entre mitades del sistema radicular, manteniendo la señal de estrés sin sacrificar la fotosíntesis completa de la planta. Esta variante fue reconocida entre las innovaciones tecnológicas más relevantes del siglo veinte en Australia.Estudios en España, Chile, Argentina y Venezuela confirman beneficios similares en distintos climas y cultivos, desde vid mediterránea hasta maracuyá tropical, posicionando al riego deficitario controlado como herramienta central para la agricultura de precisión y el ahorro hídrico.Suscríbete a El noticiero del agro:https://blogagricultura.com/noticias/Escucha Agricultura Profesional:https://open.spotify.com/show/2ZuOW2DhD7PK4SM33gtFWy?si=e33021063a114550--Créditos musicales:INTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-graham/53License code: 62TIV9S8Q1XCM65WOUTROMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/let-good-times-rollLicense code: KUSUTAITXDLYUTHQ--Fuentes consultadas:Edwards, E.

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at the open marriages, late-night affairs and randy scientists surrounding Australia's Bogle-Chandler mystery...On New Year's Eve 1963, two lovers slipped away for a secret rendezvous on the banks of Sydney's Lane Cove River. By morning, renowned CSIRO physicist Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler—the wife of one of his colleagues—were dead. What began as an illicit affair quickly became one of Australia's most baffling unsolved mysteries. There were no obvious injuries, no murder weapon and no clear cause of death. Rumours of espionage, jealous spouses, poisoning and even Cold War conspiracies were flying around as investigators struggled to explain how two healthy adults could die on the muddy banks of the river after a clandestine romantic encounter. In this episode, Geordie & Michelle explore the scandal that shocked Australia, the social stigma surrounding adultery in the early 1960s and the forensic investigation that took decades to reach an extraordinary conclusion. Was it murder, a tragic accident or something so bizarre that almost no one considered it possible? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat Sam Neill's death, Anne Widdicombe and more on Eavesdroppin'.

On this episode of Technology & Security, Dr Miah Hammond-Errey speaks with Professor Jon Whittle, founding CEO of Goldilocks AI and professor at the University of Melbourne's Institute for Digital Innovation and AI. With nearly 30 years in AI spanning a technical lead role at NASA, founding the National AI Centre, and five years leading CSIRO's Data61, Jon brings a long view and the practical experience of having worked on these questions from inside government, research, and industry. The conversation opens with what AI sovereignty actually means across the full stack, from data centres and foundation models through to inference, applications and responsible AI, and why focusing only on data storage creates a false sense of security.The conversation moves to the economic and geopolitical case for Australia building its own foundation models, why the argument that we are too small and too far behind deserves more scrutiny, and how being cut off from models like Fable has made that conversation more urgent. Jon and Miah discuss the gap between personal productivity gains from AI and the organisational productivity gains that remain elusive, the dimensions that actually determine enterprise AI success (most of which have nothing to do with technology), and the leadership anti-patterns holding Australian companies back. This episode also covers the rise of Chinese models, the risk of ‘Uberization' of the Australian economy, what meaningful AI oversight requires from directors and boards, and why the conversation Jon hopes we are not still having in five years is the one we are having right now. Professor Jon Whittle is founding CEO of Goldilocks AI, professor at the University of Melbourne, and author of AI for Business. He is a former director of CSIRO's Data61 and founder of the National AI Centre.

Have you ever met an astrometallurgist? Neither had we, until we had the great pleasure of chatting with Dr Matt Shaw on this week's episode!Matt's career genuinely sounds like it was pulled straight from the pages of a sci-fi novel, but it's very much grounded in real, cutting-edge science. He began as a metallurgist in the mining industry - extracting metals like gold from rocks, or as he describes it, "basically Minecraft, but in real life" - working everywhere from the Australian desert to the Canadian Arctic. Having mastered some of the most extreme environments on Earth, Matt decided to tackle the ultimate hostile environment: space. He completed a PhD in astrometallurgy at Swinburne University, exploring how we might one day extract and process materials on the Moon, and worked with CSIRO's space in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) team developing technologies to produce water, oxygen and metals beyond Earth.These days, Matt continues his space research while working predominantly with the Green Steel and Critical Minerals teams at CSIRO Clayton, investigating innovative ways to reduce emissions and tackle one of the biggest challenges facing our planet: how to make green steel.But what makes Matt especially exciting to talk with isn't just the very cool science. It's his passion for communication and collaboration. Whether he's talking with school students, appearing in the media or engaging with the public, Matt has a real knack for making complex ideas feel both exciting and accessible - and he's got the track record to prove it:Winner, Asia-Pacific Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition 2021 – watch Matt's winning talkJudge, Asia-Pacific 3MT Final 2022Runner-up, FameLab Australia 2023 – watch Matt's presentationSTEMPals Curiosity Communicator Award 2024You can follow Matt and learn more about his work here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-shaw-001/Transcript: https://go.unimelb.edu.au/r7ah

John Anderson joins energy analyst Aidan Morrison and journalist Chris Uhlmann for a forensic examination of Australia's energy crisis. Together, they expose the broken promises behind the renewable transition, the CSIRO modelling built on figures no operating wind farm has achieved, and the legislative blunder that turned the New England Renewable Energy Zone into a multi-billion dollar infrastructure disaster. Drawing on international comparisons, primary documents, and on-the-ground testimony, the panel reveals how Australians were sold a false economic promise — and what the true cost to the nation's bills, industry, and security will be.Aidan Morrison is a leading researcher into Energy Systems and currently the Director of Energy Research at the Centre for Independent Studies. In 2023 he exposed how the famous CSIRO report “GenCost” excluded vast costs required to integrate and firm renewables by treating them as “sunk” costs. In 2024 he was amongst the strongest voices calling for nuclear energy in Australia and was a leading critic of the ‘Integrated System Plan' (or ISP): Australia's blue-print for a transition to an energy system dominated by wind and solar. Chris Uhlmann is a Walkley Award winning Australian journalist and news commentator. His career in the media spans over 35 years in radio, print and television. His latest documentary is The Real Cost of Net Zero: The shocking truth of the renewable energy push.

Following on from yesterday's discussion about job cuts at the CSIRO, in this edition of The Conversation Hour  the Science Minister responds to climate modelling cuts at the institution. Also in this edition, a new study on passenger safety on taxi and rideshare services, combating online misinformation for new parents, plus normalising older women on the catwalk. 

The CSIRO will press ahead with cutting up to 350 jobs, despite receiving federal government funding of  $387.4 million over the next four years. With reports today  of cuts to the team working on the national climate model,  we discuss what these potential cuts would mean for climate projections. Also in this edition we talk citizen science, preventing infection at the nail salon plus we celebrate our SES volunteers for Wear Orange Day.

A cruise ship, a rare virus, and three dead passengers. It is the headline that has put us all on edge, but how worried should we be about hantavirus? In this episode of The Quicky, we speak with CSIRO Principal Research Scientist Professor Glenn Marsh to find out how this rodent-borne illness spreads, why a specific South American strain has experts concerned and whether Australia is prepared for a potential outbreak.

Listen to the science of Andes hantavirus, how it spreads, and why its important not to confuse it with other hantaviruses.In Budget news, CSIRO gets more money but cuts more scientists and research.

It's well-known that the aviation and aerospace sector has been suffering under a talent shortage for some time now – not to mention the challenge of promoting greater diversity in the workforce. One potential solution? To encourage more young people to enter the industry – to cultivate a love of aviation from an early age, and help kids realise it could hold their dream job. Together with the CSIRO's STEM in Schools program, industry bodies like Aviation/Aerospace Australia are doing just that by going into schools and holding talks and workshops on what an aviation career could mean for students' futures. On this Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake talks to Anntonette Dailey of Aviation/Aerospace Australia about the root causes behind the talent crisis, what the industry is doing about them, and the support it needs to bring young people along for the ride.

Grain growers, concerned about a mouse plague this season, can't believe the national chemical regulator is ignoring CSIRO research that shows stronger baits are required to control a plague.

Aidan Morrison and Derek Bush join John for a frank conversation about Australia's cumbersome renewable energy transition, and the real costs being borne by the communities expected to host it. They make the case that rural Australians are being overrun by a policy conceived in cities and imposed on regional areas, exposing the considerable gap between the government's 2030 targets and what the national grid can realistically deliver.This is a timely warning that Australia's energy policy is being driven by political ambition rather than engineering reality, and that the consequences will be felt by every Australian as power bills continue to rise.Aidan Morrison is a leading researcher into Energy Systems and currently the Director of Energy Research at the Centre for Independent Studies. In 2023 he exposed how the famous CSIRO report “GenCost” excluded vast costs required to integrate and firm renewables by treating them as “sunk” costs. In 2024 he was amongst the strongest voices calling for nuclear energy in Australia and was a leading critic of the ‘Integrated System Plan' (or ISP): Australia's blue-print for a transition to an energy system dominated by wind and solar. Derek Bush is a farmer from Bookham in southwest New South Wales, where his family has worked the land for many years, growing flowers and other produce. He has become an outspoken advocate for rural communities navigating the impacts of wind farm development and Australia's energy transition.
