CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research (CMAR) houses Australia’s leading regional climate change modelling research teams. Our research aims to advance Australian climate, marine and earth systems science. We focus on issues affecting Australia and the world, and we provide a range of scientific and consulting services that are underpinned by this research. The atmospheric composition of the Southern Hemisphere and the exchange of gases with the land and sea are important in measuring, modelling and analysing climate change and ozone depletion.The Climate and Atmosphere theme develops Earth system models and knowledge of climate processes to make climate and ocean predictions and assess climate change impacts. It aims to help our climate-sensitive society make better decisions. Researchers use observations of the atmosphere and Earth to assess air quality, greenhouse gases and the interactions between land and air. Their work focuses on policies, actions and methodologies that are responsive to changes in atmospheric health, for the responsible use of the atmosphere and its interactions with the Earth. ...

Useful references to help in identifying native and introduced plants and finding out about the Australian flora - This is a listing of books, and a very few journal papers, for basic botanical reference and plant identification (with some emphasis on native flora of N.S.W. and the A.C.T.). It is prepared for use by students, by the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) Visitor Information Centre, and other users. This bibliography is intended for the non-specialist, and lists fairly broad-scale works. Not all are in print, and some may be found in fairly specialist libraries only. ...
