Soil modelling

Mapping Australia's soils

Together with our partners, we've developed detailed digital maps of the country’s soils in an easily-accessible format.

Soil mapping & land suitability

Soil data are considered the most important environmental factor determining the suitability of land for agriculture. We've developed a method for systematically evaluating land suitability over large areas at the regional scale.

TERN

TERN is a collaboration across research agencies that delivers quality data, tools and expertise to researchers who are working to understand and sustainably manage Australia’s environment.

Water resource assessment

Assessing Australia's water resources.

Soil health and soil carbon

Soil carbon

Increasing the amount of carbon stored in agricultural soils can help mitigate rising greenhouse gas emissions while improving the productivity and resilience of agricultural systems.

LOOC-C

Our LOOC-C ('look see’) app will help farmers and land managers discover possible carbon projects for their land and assess whether they can participate profitably in greenhouse gas mitigation and maximise the benefits to the land from carbon markets.

Water repellent soils

Water repellent sandy soils are a major problem across the western and southern grain growing regions of Australia. We have found a number of farming practices which improve water management in repellent sandy soils.

Soil information

Australian National Soil Archive

The Australian National Soil Archive is an important resource for current and future soil research. It holds 78,000 archived specimens collected from 12,500 sites across Australia.
