Water ice has been found in the southern regions of the Moon, and it is hoped certain gases that can be used for fuels can also be mined. These resources could be used to support long-term human habitation on and near the Moon in lunar bases.

Professor Mark Krumholz and Professor Andrew Hassell, both from the ANU College of Science and Medicine, have been named Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureates.

The ANU Sustainable Farms team has taken out one of the country's top science prizes for developing a powerful tool that helps farmers predict how what they do on their farms could impact different bird species.

A team of researchers from the ANU Research School of Biology and CSIRO has been awarded more than $1 million to develop technology that harvests valuable resources from our wastewater.

If swooping season strikes fear into your heart, you're not alone. Fortunately, Dr Chaminda Ratnayake from the ANU Research School of Biology has the intel you need to navigate the great outdoors this spring.

The largest women-only recruitment drive in the history of Australian Astronomy and Space is underway.
