CASE STUDY 
Air quality: forecasting
smoke impact on health
Australia has some of the worst fire prone environments which
are burned through planned and un-planned events every year.
CSIRO's air quality team have been using climate models to
reduce the health risks of smoke and dust on the Australian
population.
CSIRO has worked with government and university partners to
develop a state-of-the-art modelling system that can simulate
the burn characteristics, smoke emissions, and the smoke
transport from fires.
The System was trialled during the 2015/16 southern Australia
bushfire season, embedded in the operational processes of the
emergency control centre, and used to provide advance
warning to the community of potential smoke exposure.
The success of operational trials has led to efforts to fully
operationalise the System. The model can be tailored to other
regions.
The Smoke Forecasting System
generates crucial information for
national fire agencies to help
manage planned burns, and also
to provide advance warning of
smoke from bush fires.

CSIRO is collaborating with Chilean
agencies 
Sernapesca
, 
Instituto de Fomento
Pesquero 
(IFOP) and 
Subpesca
, along with
science providers and the aquaculture
industry to transform and boost the
Chilean aquaculture sector currently worth
US$3.5 billion (Salmon 90%).
The project aims to build the capability of industry and
government to assess and manage risks within the
aquaculture industry, moving towards an operational
forecasting system which will prevent future catastrophes.
CSIRO’s skills in ocean colour remote sensing, whole of
ecosystem, coastal and hydrodynamic modelling and
marine forecasting will be used to deliver a science-based
management framework tailored to the local and regional
context in Chile, addressing both production and decision-
making cycles and ecological dynamics of the system.

CASE STUDY 
Improving management of the
Great Barrier Reef
Reef systems are biologically diverse and economically valuable
ecosystems, providing a range of services important to
biodiversity, fisheries industries, environmental protection and
tourism.
CSIRO's eReefs platform is transforming its ability to manage
and protect significant reef systems, such as the Great Barrier
Reef, for the long term. CSIRO has partnered with the Great
Barrier Reef Foundation, the Bureau of Meteorology, the
Australian Institute of Marine Science and the Queensland
Government to address challenges to the reef like climate
change, water quality, and impacts from coastal development.
Based on conservative assumptions, the net present value of
benefits to 2025-26 from the eReefs project is $80.8 million.
