We’re a coastal nation with sprawling and diverse lands.

[Images move through to show two children running along the beach with surf boards, fast footage of a day at the beach, and then dark clouds and rain moving over on an open plain]

Our lifestyle relies on healthy seas and healthy skies.

At CSIRO our marine scientists and atmospheric researchers are solving great challenges through innovative science in national and international partnerships.

[Music plays and images move through of a male nodding to his crew, a thunderstorm moving across open plains, and a heat map of the world showing global warming over many years]

[Images move through of a bushfire, a fire through trees, climate monitoring equipment, and a CSIRO computer program showing a heat map]

The impacts of climate change are fueling demand for climate monitoring and systems modelling.

[Music plays and image changes to show a group of people in discussion while standing in front of a projector screen]

[Images move through of a male and a female working at a computer, a 3D model of an eco-system, a 3D globe, a busy highway, a male working on a roof, and a research centre on a cliff and text appears: Global Climate Model]

Our analysis of climate and ocean risks inform government and industry strategies, increasing resilience to safeguard our nation’s future.

[Music plays and image changes to show a data printer printing and then image changes to show an aerial view of waves coming into shore]

[Images move through of researchers working on an air monitoring station, a turtle swimming, researchers working on a beach, a male loading boxes of fish for market, and then fish farms]

Our science supports a healthy atmosphere and marine environment to ensure our resources are developed sustainably.

[Music plays and images move through of a scientist operating on a sealion, groups of scientists working with different equipment on various research sites]

[Images move through to show a female working at a computer, a map, a female scientist working, fish swimming through coral, a thunderstorm, litter, two males snorkelling, and a beach]

The scientific tools we’ve developed are used across the globe to address risks to our ocean and atmospheric environments from climate change, marine plastic, competing uses and coastal development.

[Music plays and images move through of two researchers measuring on a beach, a diver next to a shark, a diver swimming, an aerial view of a coast line, and an aerial view of fish farms]

[Images move through to show workers packing fish, a fish jumping out of the water, and then a group of people looking at seaweed]

Our focus on growing the blue economy is helping improve fisheries, support emerging blue industries and decarbonise the global economy.

[Music plays and image changes to show a towed camera being lowered into the ocean and then the image changes to show fish swimming through deep water]

[Images move through of a ship driving through icy water, a male securing research equipment, scientists lowering an AUV into the water, and a male rowing a small sampan type boat]

Through our science and holistic systems approach Australia delivers on our national and international obligations

in pursuit of a more sustainable planet and a safe and prosperous nation.
