What we do

EASI is CSIRO’s cutting-edge, cloud-based data analytics platform, designed to process satellite imagery at scale. It transforms complex data into actionable intelligence, fostering innovation across scientific domains

We apply our Synthetic Aperture Radar expertise to use NovaSAR-1 and other datasets to develop innovative research applications, define standards for Analysis Ready Data, and increase data uptake.

CSIRO is investing in infrastructure, methods and communities to support the calibration and validation of Earth observation datasets and products.

We maintain key partnerships with governments and Earth observation data providers for CSIRO and Australia and will become Chair of the inter-agency Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) in November 2025.
