SUMMARY:WA Space Forum | NEXTDC P2 Data Centre Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the WA Space Forum for a behind-the-scenes tour of NEXTDC’s P2 data centre in East Perth and an opportunity to explore the critical digital infrastructure supporting Australia’s increasingly connected economy and its growing space ecosystem.\nSatellites may operate hundreds or thousands of kilometres above us\, but much of the value they create ultimately comes back to Earth as data. \nFrom Earth observation and remote sensing to satellite communications\, positioning\, space domain awareness and increasingly AI-driven analysis\, the space industry relies on infrastructure capable of receiving\, moving\, processing\, storing and protecting enormous volumes of information. \nWe’ll head inside NEXTDC P2 to get a closer look at some of the physical infrastructure sitting behind that digital ecosystem and explore how data centres fit into the broader space-to-ground value chain. \nIt’s an opportunity to connect some of industry’s biggest conversations — AI\, digitalisation and big data — with the infrastructure that helps make them possible.

SUMMARY:CSIRO x BHP - Measuring Nature Outcomes 2026
DESCRIPTION:Unlocking valuable global data for monitoring practices associated with responsible land management \nOver the past decade awareness has grown that organisations must better understand\, manage and report their interactions with nature. While significant progress has been made in developing nature-related reporting frameworks and standards\, a persistent challenge remains: how can organisations use readily available\, open access nature-related data to evaluate outcomes of land management activities in a transparent\, consistent and robust manner? CSIRO and BHP invite you to attend an upcoming webinar exploring our development of a practical and transparent approach to addressing this challenge. \nThe webinar will showcase recent research conducted by CSIRO in collaboration with BHP to advance natural capital measurement\, management and reporting through the development of practical methods. These methods can be applied consistently across industries\, ecosystems and geographies.\nParticipants will hear how the project team have systematically reviewed readily available\, open access global data to assess its use for nature related monitoring and have worked to: \n\ndevelop benchmarks for over 60 variables relevant to terrestrial ecosystem functional groups globally\, providing 2020 baselines for ongoing assessment and monitoring\,\nmap how these variables relate to ecosystem condition typology recommended by SEEA EA\,\ndevelop a Quality Hectare (Qha) index to support the monitoring and assessment of responsible land management practices across geographies and jurisdictions\, and\nrecommend future directions to support broader uptake by industry.\n\nThe webinar is intended to support industry\, regulators\, environmental bodies and the finance sector. It will explore how organisations can use readily available environmental datasets to support the tracking of stewardship outcomes over time in a transparent and globally consistent manner.
