Radio astronomy
Our astronomers study cosmic objects, such as galaxies, gas clouds and pulsars, using our own radio telescopes and other instruments to build a deeper understanding of the Universe.
Australia's leading observatories for radio astronomy – the Australia Telescope National Facility – are used by astronomers from around the world, 24 hours a day, every day, to learn about our Universe.
We develop new instruments for our own instruments, and those around the world, to enhance our understanding of the Universe and realise benefits for us here on Earth.
We use Earth observation data gathered by satellites to inform policy, manage natural environments, and generate agricultural and industrial development opportunities.
AquaWatch Australia aims to build a comprehensive national water quality monitoring and information system using space-based satellites and in-situ sensors throughout our inland rivers, waterways and coastal environments.
