• CSIRO/IHI Loy Yang A Power Station Capture test facility 3 of 4 We've developed a range of apps and software solutions to support health and wellbeing, digital service delivery, energy efficiency and disaster management.
These figures are given to the Indeed users for the purpose of generalised comparison only. The partnership will deliver solutions, innovation and outcomes that directly accelerate CSIRO’s research and work to solve the world’s greatest challenges.”Microsoft and CSIRO are, for example, working together to explore how data can be integrated with analytics, modelling and deep domain knowledge to provide Australian farmers with accurate insights, assist in key farm management decisions, such as around sowing and harvesting, soil condition and how to understand weather and climate risk.These sorts of data-driven farming techniques can boost agricultural productivity, improve sustainability, and reduce the use of often costly inputs such as fertiliser and pesticides – a win for the farmer, a win for the planet.Solutions that use low-cost sensors, satellites, and vision and machine learning algorithms as well as innovative communications techniques are being developed at CSIRO’s new agricultural research station at Boorowa, NSW, a purpose-built 290 hectare facility that is helping develop Australian farms of the future by testing emerging technologies in crop science, agronomy and farming systems using CSIRO and Microsoft technologies.Together the team is using Microsoft Azure FarmBeats to build several unique solutions to solve data-driven farming problems using low-cost sensors, satellites, and vision and machine learning algorithms to develop a connected digital agricultural ecosystem.According to Dr Dave Henry, Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO, following the deployment of FarmBeats at Boorowa this January: “I’m seeing an ability to visualise what is going on across the farm in terms of soil moisture and temperature.

Marine debris also injures and kills wildlife, has the potential to transport chemical contaminants, and may pose a threat to human health.By collecting data about the spread and concentration of plastic Dr Hardesty and her fellow researchers are using machine learning and AI to analyse where the plastic might end up, and also what steps could be taken on land to reduce the likelihood of plastic entering waterways and oceans.Applying Microsoft tools to our research methodology will improve our understanding of what, where, how and why plastic pollution ends up on land, along our coasts, and in the ocean. Support CSIRO.
It is using leading-edge technologies to interpret data collected during beach and ocean surveys along with videos of rivers and stormwater drains to identify and track garbage flows into waterways and inform intervention efforts, like placement of river rubbish traps and paid deposit schemes.According to CSIRO principal research scientist, Dr Denise Hardesty; “This is some of the most exciting research I’ve ever had the opportunity to do.“People care about the plastic pollution issue. That’s really powerful.”It’s these sorts of innovative endeavours that the partnership of CSIRO and Microsoft allows – an important step closer to a better world.Joval Wine Group uncorks full benefit of cloud with lower costs, greater performance and enhanced agilityRip Curl barrels ahead with data transformation delivering insight everywhereJudo Bank achieves business continuity with cloud technology strategyMicrosoft to support Woolworths’ next phase of cloud transformationAustralian partners centre stage in Microsoft global AwardsNAB and Microsoft sign five-year multi-cloud partnership to boost resilience, speed and innovation
