Digging deeper into community-led post-mining planning. ⛏️ Our researchers Tira Foran and Taryn Kong have been collaborating with communities from the Latrobe Valley (Victoria) to Bowen Basin (Queensland) and Bell Bay (Tasmania), to develop shared visions and planning tools for regional futures. Their projects, supported by CRC TiME, are breaking new ground in collaborative regional economic planning. Their goal? To ensure communities have a strong and informed say in regional development. Join CRC TiME's webinar on 6 November to catch the latest findings, with local insights on regional development. Attendees from industry, government, and communities will also get first access to new resources for collaborative planning! Register today: https://lnkd.in/gMVDUUrY

You've never seen the Milky Way like this before. 🌌 This incredible new radio image, crafted by astronomers at ICRAR (International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research), maps our Galaxy in stunning new detail. The image was made by surveying hundreds of hours of data collected using the Curtin University-led Murchison Widefield Array. It's a radio telescope located at Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, our Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory on Wajarri Yamaji Country. The image shows a mix of pulsars, planetary nebulae, and regions of dense, ionised gas clouds in space. Read the story: https://lnkd.in/g5-H8Kxn

Hay there, innovators. This one's for you. 🐄 We've partnered with Meat & Livestock Australia, Google Australia and Kaggle to launch a global competition with a US$75,000 prize pool to advance the use of AI in agriculture. The challenge: to improve the accuracy and efficiency of estimating pasture biomass. This is the amount of grass and other edible plants available for livestock to graze, which impacts productivity, environmental sustainability and biodiversity. Competitors will use pasture images linked with detailed field measurements to train an AI model to estimate pasture availability for livestock. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gybt9sMD

Taking a byte out of agriculture. 🌾 However you feel about AI, it’s here to stay and is reshaping our lives, including farmers'. It has the power to uncover hidden patterns in crops and climate, offering farmers powerful new tools for resilience and productivity. In the future, whether AI will be embraced or fuel fragmentation and mistrust, depends on the choices made today. That's why responsible, application-driven AI, co-designed with farmers and communities, is essential to building lasting trust in digital agriculture.
