Earth Science and Resource Engineering

This 2-page brochure outlines projects being undertaken into coal seam gas by CSIRO.

Dr Claire Mason: understanding individual, group and organisational behaviour

Dr Claire Mason is a social scientist working in the Science into Society Group, using her background in psychology to support decision-making and change at an individual, group, organisational and societal level.

CSIRO Geothermal Project

CSIRO is developing Australia’s largest direct-heat geothermal demonstration site at the Australian Resources Research Centre (ARRC) in Kensington, Perth.

Petroleum exploration

This 4-page brochure outlines CSIRO's petroleum exploration research.

Petroleum exploration

CSIRO's petroleum exploration research spans from source rock characterisation through petroleum systems modelling, traps and reservoir characterisation, to faults and marine geology. This range of expertise and capabilities can be used to augment current industrial techniques and approaches to reduce exploration, development and production risks.

Chemical tracers brochure

This 2-page brochure outlines CSIRO's development of novel chemical tracers.

Chemical tracers

CSIRO has developed a range of novel tracers to characterise reservoir storage properties, and laboratory techniques to characterise chemical tracer behaviour.

Dr Andrew Ross: developing exploration tools for detecting oil accumulations

Dr Ross leads a hydrocarbon sensors research team developing new hydrocarbon exploration technologies and solutions.

Dr Alistair White: searching for the distal footprints of giant ore deposits

Dr Alistair White is a postdoctoral researcher investigating the far-field geochemical signatures around large ore deposits.

Energymark

Energymark is helping households and communities reduce their carbon footprints, lower energy consumption and save on power bills.

National Resource Sciences Precinct

Positioning Perth as the world's capital for minerals and energy research.

Petroleum and geothermal research

CSIRO's petroleum and geothermal research supports a smooth transition to Australia's clean and secure energy future.

Dr Lilly Lim-Camacho: exploring adaptation of communities and organisations to climate change through communication and engagement

Dr Lilly Lim-Camacho is a social scientist focused on encouraging communities and organisations to mitigate and adapt to climate change through communication and engagement.

Cameron Huddlestone-Holmes

Dr Cameron Huddlestone-Holmes leads the geothermal research program at CSIRO, integrating multi-disciplinary science and technologies to better understand geothermal energy in the Australian context and deliver engineering methods to support the emerging renewable energy resource in Australia.

Nickel sulfide deposits: genetic understanding leading to exploration success

CSIRO research is refining geological models to be applied in exploration for nickel sulfide deposits to identify potentially 'fertile' host rocks. The potential payoff is enormous: hundreds of millions of dollars worth of nickel metal.

Maia x-ray microprobe elemental imaging system

Maia was developed to produce high-definition, quantitative elemental images with microscopic or nanoscopic detail in real-time.

Exploring how the mining industry can adapt to climate change

Future climate variability and change is impacting on the Australian mining industry and its communities in different ways. CSIRO is working with mining enterprises and communities to explore climate adaptation strategies through the CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship, in association with both the CSIRO Coal Portfolio and the CSIRO Minerals Down Under Flagship.

Dr Lygia Romanach: exploring the relationships between science, technology and society on a changing climate

Dr Lygia Romanach is a social researcher with a background in agriculture. Dr Romanach is interested in the relationships between scientific and technological innovations and society.

Dr Elisha Frederiks: Motivating and maintaining positive behavioural change within individuals, groups and organisations.

Dr Elisha Frederiks is an Organisational Psychologist working with CSIRO’s Science into Society Group to motivate and maintain sustainable behaviour among individuals, groups and organisations.

Dr Dana Kai Bradford: improving outcomes for Australians in need

Dr Dana Bradford works at the interface of neuroscience and technology to improve outcomes for specific population groups.

Enhanced coal bed methane and carbon storage project with China

A A$10 million joint project with China United Coalbed Methane Corporation Limited has demonstrated the storage of carbon dioxide underground in order to increase the extraction of methane for use as an energy source in the Shanxi Province, China.
