A baseline knowledge of the biodiversity of a region is an essential component for assessing the risk of any potential future development scenarios.
The CSIRO’s Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA) used TraNSIT to analyse the transport impacts across a range of hypothetical shale gas development scenarios for the Beetaloo Sub-basin.
CSIRO’s Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA) participated in the Energy Club WA Student Expo at Edith Cowan University in November. The expo aimed to inspire students and open their minds to career choices in STEM and, in particular, the energy sector.
A new Alliance Agreement between CSIRO, Santos, Origin, APLNG and QGC continues to place value on research into the social, economic and environmental impacts of onshore gas developments across Australia.
