Researchers have used TERN-delivered remote sensing data to try to explain the vast range of colours and patterns found on Australian bird eggs.  Read on to see if high-tech big data have helped crack this centuries-old case.

Researchers have taken advantage of TERN’s trusted national and long-term data to develop the latest in an annual series of environmental condition reports. The report, and its accompanying interactive website, provide an annual summary of 15 key environmental indicators and how they have changed over time.

TERN has collected, archived and made openly available over 60,000 sound files from 21 unique ecosystems across our nation-wide research infrastructure. Later this month a unique event at the arts-science interface will explore the creative possibilities of such bioacoustics data.

A comprehensive and engaging review of how the past decade of Australian Government research infrastructure investment has transformed our understanding of the environment.

As it approaches its half-year milestone, the National Environmental Prediction System (NEPS) Scoping Study is set to embark on a broad consultation process that will help shape a support system for Australia’s research and decision-making communities.
