SUMMARY:TERN Webinar - Lifelines in the Desert – the critical role of oases in biodiversity and heritage
DESCRIPTION:This webinar brings together leading experts to explore the multifaceted value of Australia’s desert springs and oases\, examining both the challenges they face and innovative approaches to their conservation. \nSpeakers will discuss the ecological significance of these systems\, their role in supporting biodiversity resilience\, and practical management strategies being implemented across the continent.

SUMMARY:TERN Webinar - Applying Environmental Data to Forecasting Health Issues
DESCRIPTION:The One Health framework recognises a fundamental truth: human health\, animal health\, and environmental health are inseparable. Understanding our environment is the key to predicting and preventing emerging health crises affecting all Australians. \nAs climate change accelerates\, we’re witnessing unprecedented health challenges at the intersection of environmental change and disease. Extreme heat events\, bushfire smoke\, droughts\, air pollution\, allergens and shifting disease patterns are increasingly threatening Australian communities. \nThis webinar brings together three leading researchers pioneering solutions to these challenges

SUMMARY:TERN Webinar - Towards an Australian Ecosystem Foundation Model
DESCRIPTION:A foundation model is a large-scale AI model trained on a wide variety of data. This year\, a Nature paper reported on the Microsoft Foundation Model\, Aurora\, and its capacity to leverage the latest advances in AI to more accurately predict not just the weather\, but a wide range of environmental events in a series of retrospective analyses. \nAustralia has extensive long-term terrestrial\, ocean\, and coastal ecosystem monitoring data. They are part of our national research infrastructure\, derived from sources such as satellite remote sensing\, UAVs\, in-situ sensors\, and human-collected systematic surveys. To understand complex ecosystems and run multifaceted analyses\, these multi-scale\, multi-domain datasets need to be used together and independently in models\, if we are to successfully span Australia’s diverse environments and answer questions covering time periods from minutes to centuries. Fortunately\, with our machine-readable ecosystem datasets\, we possess the required unique resources that could train foundation models to understand continental-scale ecological processes. \nThe webinar speakers will share their thinking about building both domain-specific and cross-domain omnibus foundation models\, tailored for Australian landscapes to address ecosystem monitoring\, resource management\, and disaster response needs—contributing to Australian climate change mitigation efforts. \nThis webinar isn’t just another technical discussion—it’s a strategic conversation about our environmental future\, embracing AI foundation models as the research infrastructure needed for the coming decades for understanding ecosystems. It is also about answering the critical question—if we don’t act now\, will we fall behind international efforts while others unlock the potential of our openly accessible\, free environmental data? \nSpeakers \n\nDr Andrew Prata\, CSIRO\nDr Roozbeh Valavi\, CSIRO\nSiddeswara Guru\, TERN Australia\nStefan Hajkowicz\, CSIRO
