Samir Alhafith, founder of The Sydney Project, and Navy Clearance Diver Lieutenant Rus Pnevski take us deep into one of NSW's most enduring maritime mysteries — the rediscovery of the SS Nemesis. Built in 1880 by Thomas Turnbull & Sons in Whitby, England, the steamship was later used to haul coal between Newcastle and Melbourne and was tragically lost in a savage gale off Wollongong on the night of July 8–9, 1904, taking all 32 crew members with her.For over a century, the location of the 73-metre iron-hulled wreck remained unknown. Debris and bodies washed ashore at Cronulla, but the hull eluded discovery — until May 2022, when Subsea Professional Marine Services stumbled upon it by accident while searching for lost shipping containers roughly 26 km offshore in about 160 metres of water.Identification came after CSIRO's RV Investigator conducted high-resolution seafloor mapping with multibeam echosounders and captured drop-camera footage of key structural features — including two of the ship's anchors — confirming the wreck as the long-lost SS Nemesis.Now the wreck lies upright on a sandy plain, with serious damage to its bow and stern. The storm appears to have overwhelmed the engine, and a massive wave struck before lifeboats could be launched, sealing its fate.In this episode, Samir and Rus walk us through their historic dive — the first human dive on the wreck in over 120 years. We share video footage from the team, taking you deep into the thrill and discovery, the history that nearly vanished, and even the gear troubles they faced in 160-metre depths. Do you have feedback or an opinion to share with us?

Уколико људи намеравају да једног дана населе Марс, биће им потребни разни материјали које имамо на Земљи, а метали су свакако међу најзначајнијима. Пошто би транспорт великих количина гвожђа и легура коштао право богатство, научници са Универзитета Свинбурн и CSIRO трагају за начинима да створе метал од реголита који се у изобиљу налази у марсовској црвеној прашини. Први лабораторијски тестови у специјалним условима, који опонашају оне на Марсу, показали су се као успешни.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. The CSIRO have modelled the potential future impacts of climate change over course of the century in all the Australian climate zones. The link to this CSIRO document is in the show notes. As the climate warms, design to optimise cooling through cross ventilation in summer will be critical for the whole of Australian. However it's essential that rooms to be mechanically heated or cooled can be efficiently insulated and sealed to minimise energy consumption.2. The Australian Government is planning two significant building regulatory changes to tackle climate change. The first proposed change affects new building work – Embodied carbon calculations are required as part of the Australian National Construction Code approval process. This change was enacted in 2025 in NSW for commercial buildings only. However, the goal at this early stage is to establish a standardized method for measuring embodied carbon.The second proposed change is for existing houses - An operational energy assessment will be required at the point of sale or lease using the NatHERS tool. This change is yet to be enacted, but it's worth noting that a very similar scheme has been in place in the ACT for over 25 years.3. To achieve net zero carbon there are three steps: The primary objective is to reduce operational carbon. To create highly energy efficient homes through strategies such as:climate responsive designsystems like Passive House adding rooftop PV panels, and purchasing renewable energy via the grid The secondary objective is to reduce embodied carbon...

In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, we dig into what’s really happening beneath the soil surface. Soil biology expert Dr Gupta Vadakattu from CSIRO joins us to explore the hidden microbial world in our paddocks. We talk through: What soil biology actually is How microbes help crops survive drought, disease, and nutrient stress The role of stubble retention, crop diversity, and nutrients in promoting soil life Whether herbicides and drought impact soil biology Why microbes might be chewing through stubbles faster than they used to And yes… the science behind burying cotton underpants in your soil! Whether you're managing sandy soils or wondering how to build a stronger biological base for crop production, this episode offers practical insights backed by decades of research.

A huge net, weighed down by heavy chains, swiftly sweeps across the ocean floor, scooping up everything in its path. This type of fishing, called bottom trawling, was illuminated in a new documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough. Bottom trawling is known for indiscriminately gathering all sorts of marine species, as well as damaging the sea floor. But with the practice producing around a quarter of the world's wild-caught seafood, are there ways to make it more sustainable? 

In this episode we talk with Jonathan Richetti of the CSIRO, exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming agriculture outside of the paddock. We explore how it is being used to enhance plant breeding, make highly accurate yield predictions and fertilizer recommendations as well as exploring the future of this technology. Hosted on Acast.

What causes the Earth to suddenly collapse beneath our feet? Can geophysics help us predict—and perhaps even prevent—natural disasters? These are just some of the fascinating questions explored in the latest episode of the Arqus Knowledge Pills podcast with special guest Professor Djamil Al-Halbouni, expert in Applied Geophysics and Remote Sensing at Leipzig University.In this episode, Professor Al-Halbouni guides us through the invisible forces shaping our landscapes—from sinkholes in the Dead Sea region to erosion in Bronze Age archaeological sites. Drawing on his international research experience and innovative use of numerical simulation, remote sensing, and fieldwork, he explains how water-related processes such as subsidence and collapse can reveal urgent insights into both our past and future environments.The conversation also highlights his recent Arqus course in the Granada Geopark, where students explored how geophysical methods connect natural history with cultural heritage. Geoparks offer unique learning opportunities that bridge science, sustainability, and storytelling.Professor Al-Halbouni also discusses the social impact of natural hazards on vulnerable communities, especially those living along the receding shores of the Dead Sea. He reflects on the potential of new technologies, including AI and satellite data, to support early-warning systems and more resilient planning strategies.Learn more about Djamil Al-Halbouni:Djamil Al-Halbouni is a Junior Professor of Applied Near-Surface Geophysics and Remote Sensing at Leipzig University. His research focuses on geophysical modelling and monitoring of near-surface hazards, with particular expertise in sinkhole formation and subsidence processes.

The 1990s was a wild west era for fishing on the Great Barrier Reef. Even after being declared a Marine Park and a World Heritage area, more than 95% of the Great Barrier Reef was still being fished, and things were heading downhill fast. Then came a bombshell report that exposed what was really going on beneath the surface -- and all hell broke loose. What followed was a fierce battle known as the ‘Trawl Wars,' and unfortunately, it did not happen in a galaxy far, far away.In this episode, we're joined by legendary conservationist Imogen Zethoven, who was made Officer of the Order of Australia for her groundbreaking campaign to create the largest network of no fishing zones, also known as Green Zones, in the GBR Marine Park. Imogen shares how the fight was won -- and why the battle to protect our oceans is far from over.Thumbnail Image: Imogen Zethoven in front of a van owned by a Mackay local at a meeting in the early 2000s.Glossary of Australian Terms for our International ListenersPrawns = what we call shrimps in Australia!Tucker = a slang term for foodCanberra = our capital city, where Parliament House is located (we know you've never heard of it)GBRMPA = Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (also known as the Reef Authority).CSIRO "Sigh-Row" = Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (Australia's national science agency).AFMA = Australian Fisheries Management AuthorityTake Action on Overfishing:Australian Marine Conservation Society (Fisheries Campaign)WWF (GBR Campaign)-------------------------------Support the show Got questions?

As the head of health programs at CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet, Nicole Pritchard shares how their new Menopause Plan leverages a decade of research to address the unique nutritional needs of perimenopausal and menopausal women.At the heart of the program is a powerful yet simple nutritional philosophy: emphasise high-quality protein, choose low glycemic index carbohydrates, and prioritise fiber-rich foods. This approach directly addresses the physiological changes occurring during menopause, from declining muscle mass to increased cardiovascular risk. Nicole explains that spreading protein consumption throughout the day (aiming for 25-30g per main meal) helps maintain muscle mass, support metabolism, and control appetite – all crucial during a time when many women struggle with weight management.What sets this program apart is its practical, sustainable approach. Rather than restrictive dieting, Nicole emphasises making strategic food swaps and focusing on adding beneficial foods. The plan acknowledges real-life challenges like family meal preparation and busy schedules, offering flexible solutions that work for the entire household. From meal plans with shopping lists to online tracking tools and dietitian support, the program provides comprehensive resources while recognizing that lasting change happens through small, consistent actions.Perhaps most importantly, Nicole explains that menopause doesn't have to mean inevitable weight gain or declining health. With the right nutritional approach, women can manage symptoms, reduce long-term health risks, and even thrive during this transition. The program represents a significant shift away from one-size-fits-all dieting toward evidence-based nutrition that honors women's changing bodies and supports them through midlife and beyond.Links:CSIRO Total Wellbeing Menopause Plan websiteThank you for listening to my show!

Almost three decades since the international adoption of the Mine Ban Treaty, civilians in almost 70 countries still live with the risk of landmines. About 6,000 people a year are killed and wounded globally by explosive remnants. Clearance operations remain both a dangerous and painstaking task. It can take decades to rid a country of explosive remnants, but an Australian company - in partnership with the CSIRO - has developed new technology that it says has the potential to make clearance operations faster, smarter and safer. - Операции по разминированию остаются опасной и кропотливой задачей. Австралийская компания в партнерстве с CSIRO разработала новую технологию, которая, по ее словам, может сделать операции по разминированию быстрыми и безопасными.

Before dinosaurs like the ones in Jurassic Park roamed the Earth, it was a wild place with some serious action going on. Picture a time over 500 million years ago, when life was mostly in the oceans, with weird creatures like trilobites and giant sea scorpions dominating the scene. On land, it was a bit more barren, but eventually, plants started popping up, leading to the rise of insects and amphibians. If you ever watch a documentary about this era, it feels like the Earth's early days were all about setting the stage for the dinosaur takeover. So yeah, long before T-rex ruled, the Earth was already busy getting ready for its biggest stars.

تقریباً سه دهه پس از تصویب بین‌المللی پیمان منع استفاده از مین، غیرنظامیان در تقریباً ۷۰ کشور جهان هنوز با خطر مین‌های زمینی زندگی می‌کنند. پاکسازی یک کشور از بقایای مواد منفجره می‌تواند دهه‌ها طول بکشد، اما یک شرکت استرالیایی - با همکاری CSIRO - فناوری جدیدی را توسعه داده است که به گفته آنها ظرفیت انجام عملیات پاکسازی سریع‌تر، هوشمندانه‌تر و ایمن‌تر را دارد.

Het opruimen van landmijnen blijft een gevaarlijke en moeizame taak. Het kan tientallen jaren duren om een land te ontdoen van explosieve resten, maar een Australisch bedrijf heeft in samenwerking met de CSIRO een nieuwe technologie ontwikkeld die naar eigen zeggen de potentie heeft om opruimingsoperaties sneller, slimmer en veiliger te maken.

Πέρασαν τριάντα χρόνια από τη θέσπιση της διεθνούς συνθήκης για την απαγόρευση των ναρκών σε εμπόλεμες περιοχές ωστόσο οι άμαχοι σε περισσότερες από 70 χώρες εξακολουθούν να ζουν με τον φόβο των ναρκών, 6.000 άνθρωποι κάθε χρόνο χάνουν τη ζωή τους ή τραυματίζονται σε όλο τον κόσμο από υπολείμματα εκρηκτικών υλών. Μπορεί να χρειαστούν δεκαετίες για να απαλλαγεί μια χώρα από τα κατάλοιπα των συγχρόνων όπλων , όμως μια εταιρεία της Αυστραλίας - σε συνεργασία με το CSIRO - ανέπτυξε μια νέα τεχνολογία που, όπως λέει, έχει τη δυνατότητα να κάνει τις επιχειρήσεις εκκαθάρισης ταχύτερες, εξυπνότερες και ασφαλέστερες.

In this episode of Redefining Energy Tech, host Michael Barnard sat down with Dr. Joseph Romm—physicist, energy policy veteran, and author of The Hype About Hydrogen—to pull back the curtain on hydrogen's persistent mystique. Romm isn't new to the debate. Back in the early 2000s, he was among the first to publicly challenge the logic of hydrogen as a viable energy carrier. Now, twenty years later, he's back with a completely rewritten edition of his book, just in time for Earth Day, and the message hasn't changed: the hydrogen hype is still hype.What makes Romm's critique so compelling is his history. He once supported hydrogen research while in the Clinton-era Department of Energy, betting on Sandia Labs' onboard gasoline reformers. But that hope dissolved under the weight of technical reality. In 2003, as the Bush administration rolled out its $1.3 billion hydrogen initiative, Romm published the first edition of The Hype About Hydrogen, drawing a stark contrast between hydrogen's theoretical promise and its practical inefficiency. The fundamental math hasn't budged. Hydrogen production, storage, transport, and conversion wastes up to 80% of the original renewable electricity. Batteries? They waste closer to 20%.Fast forward to today, and hydrogen is once again being paraded as a climate solution, this time with a new coat of green paint. But Romm's updated research shows the same miscalculations baked into the models of the IEA, CSIRO, and even PIK—institutions that projected green hydrogen prices based on wildly optimistic learning curves. Hydrogen didn't follow the same cost trajectory as solar or batteries. In fact, between 2020 and 2024, the cost of electrolyzers increased by 40%—a staggering reversal of expectations that should have set off alarm bells across boardrooms and ministries.We also tackled the real-world energy transition playing out in China. While Western nations argue over tariffs and watch supply chains buckle, China is installing 350 gigawatts of solar and wind in a single year—ten times its nuclear additions—and prioritizing direct electrification over hydrogen. It's not just policy rhetoric; it's industrial reality.This divergence is becoming painfully clear in the transport sector. European advisors have publicly declared hydrogen “dead for trucks,” pointing instead to the obvious solution: battery-electric vehicles and megawatt-scale charging infrastructure. The market is responding. Companies trying to straddle both hydrogen and battery bets—Van Hool, Quantron, Nikola—are struggling or collapsing. Romm calls this “narrative disarticulation”—an elegant way of saying that serious people are quietly walking away from the hydrogen dream.His final warning is unequivocal: investing in hydrogen based on outdated assumptions is a recipe for stranded assets and political distraction. Industry's call to support “dirty hydrogen now, clean later” isn't just a bait-and-switch—it's a carbon trap dressed up in green branding. If we're serious about climate, it's time to let go of the hydrogen mirage and double down on what we know works: clean, efficient electrification.Want to rethink your assumptions on hydrogen? This is the episode to listen to.

Something really weird happened out in space, and astronomers are totally baffled. A strange cosmic explosion lit up the sky, and it might be a super-rare event where everything lined up perfectly — or it could be something completely new that no one's ever seen before! It's called EP240408a, and it was first spotted by the Einstein Probe, an X-ray space telescope, on April 8, 2024. At first, it looked like your typical gamma-ray burst, which usually blasts out insanely bright X-rays. But the more scientists looked, the more things didn't add up. Now everyone's wondering if we just witnessed something brand new in the universe! Credit: CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

Η ρύπανση από πλαστικά σκουπίδια κατά μήκος της ακτογραμμής της Αυστραλίας έχει μειωθεί κατά περισσότερο από το ένα τρίτο την τελευταία δεκαετία. Αυτό προκύπτει από νέα έρευνα της εθνικής επιστημονικής υπηρεσίας, CSIRO, της Αυστραλίας που δημοσιεύεται στο Marine Pollution Bulletin. Η CSIRO διαπίστωσε μείωση της πυκνότητας των παράκτιων απορριμμάτων κατά 39% σε σύγκριση με δέκα χρόνια πριν, με μόλις πάνω από 8000 αντικείμενα απορριμμάτων που καταγράφηκαν σε σχεδόν 2000 έρευνες.

Join John and leading energy researcher Aidan Morrison as they outline why nuclear power should be at the centre of Australia's energy strategy. Aidan argues that modern nuclear technology is safe, and superior to renewables in terms of its reliability and cost. The discussion illuminates the misinformation which has characterised Australia's energy debate, calling for a shake-up in energy governance in order to ensure that policies are based on engineering and economic realities rather than distorted political narratives.   Aidan also debunks the popular belief that Australia's vast land and abundant sunshine make it uniquely suited for a wind and solar-powered grid, pointing out that these energy sources require massive infrastructure investments to be reliable. He suggests that ideological opposition and entrenched interests have prevented a rational discussion on nuclear power, despite its potential to provide affordable, clean, and secure energy.   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. Following the conclusion of a recent Senate Inquiry into Australia's energy planning and regulation, Aidan reached the conclusion that the ISP is “worse than useless” and declared that trust in Australia energy establishment is now so badly broken that a series of resignations will be required to restore the credibility and respect that regulatory organisations required to administer the energy system.
