New improvements to ALA data quality filters
Nov 22, 2020 · original
Since the project launch in February this year the Data Quality project team has been working with the ALA user community to identify data quality related issues and develop solutions. Thank you to everyone who completed our surveys, contributed to our understanding of the baseline perceptions of data quality, helped to prioritise the issues, and tested solutions. Prioritisation survey results After establishing a baseline for perceptions of data quality ( see results ), we conducted a prioritisation survey to identify which issues the data quality project address first. The top two issues identified were: Users of the ALA are using data accessed via the ALA without filtering out records that are not fit for purpose. I don’t know whether to use particular records or datasets for my purpose because quality indicators are not visible, or I don’t understand what the information means. Data
Guest editorial: ALA newsletter November 2020
Nov 22, 2020 · original
It’s a pleasure to be invited to provide this guest editorial to help celebrate the Atlas of Living Australia’s 10 th anniversary. The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) was developed in 2010 to support the needs of the national and international research community for timely access to Australian biodiversity data. In this time, it has grown into one of the world’s foremost biodiversity infrastructures and leads Australia’s commitment to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ( GBIF ). The Australian biodiversity information community, partnering with the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy ( NCRIS ), should be proud of our national and global achievements. One of many remarkable achievements is the international Living Atlases community. This now delivers science impact globally through 27 national atlases built on ALA-developed i
Federal Budget announcement 2020
Nov 22, 2020 · original
As an outcome from the recent Federal Budget , the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) had positive news with $96 million secured for the 2022-23 financial year for current projects. $61 million was also provided for four new national research capabilities including Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS) and Indigenous eResearch data tools and platforms . This is a positive signal regarding the importance of the NCRIS program as a core capability supporting Australia’s research sector.
Celebrating 10 years of science impact

The ALA brings together occurrence record data, taxonomic information, spatial and historical information on species distributions, and environmental data. These data are central to the research areas of ecology, conservation, environmental planning, Indigenous ecological management and sustainability. The ALA’s contribution to the research output in these fields has steadily increased over the last 10 years. Now over 2,300 scientific publications have referenced the ALA, providing novel contributions to a range of fields. Researchers have used data from ALA to show changes in Platypus numbers over the last 150 years , identify rare species that thrive in Australian towns and cities , and understand complex migration behaviour in insects that would otherwise go undetected. Images stored by the ALA have even been used to build apps that can automatically identify Australian insects in the
Data in the ALA: bushfire affected areas (2019-2020 bushfire season)
Sep 30, 2020 · original
Image by Teresa Bealey (CC-BY-NC-4.0) submitted to the University of New South Wales’ Environment Recovery Project: Australian Bushfires 2019-2020 on iNaturalist Australia. This dataset shows all areas of Australia affected by the 2019-2020 bushfires. You can use this data in the ALA to search for species that may have been affected by the 2019-20 bushfires, by mapping occurrence records that have been logged in those areas, both before and after the fires. How to use the bushfire extent data in the ALA For more information on how to use this data in the ALA, read our help article Using the National Indicative Aggregated Fire Extent Dataset 2019-20 in the ALA . The National Indicative Aggregated Fire Extent Dataset The National Indicative Aggregated Fire Extent Dataset was developed by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) to help quantify the potenti
National Science Week 2020

Check out these National Science Week events being run by our partners and collaborators across the country. There are many opportunities to explore science, attend online events and make real contributions to Australian science. South Australian Museum Podcast: Collection Stories South Australian Museum First podcast episode available Friday 21 August Collection Stories will be the South Australian Museum’s first ever podcast series featuring stories about their collections. Over the course of four episodes listeners will hear firsthand from museum professionals about why museums keep things, what types of things they collect, what we learn from them, how they care from them, and how they share them with the wider public. Each free 30 minute episode will feature Museum researchers and collection managers in conversation sharing stories about objects drawn from the Museum’s vast collecti
ALA helps educators learn more on the high seas

RV Investigator is a purpose-built research vessel with impressive scientific capabilities to support biological, oceanographic, geological and atmospheric research. Thomas Coad from Rose Bay High School in Tasmania participated in CSIRO’s Educator on Board program which offered berths for primary and secondary teachers to sail on board the state-of-the-art marine research vessel, for short voyages. CSIRO’s RV Investigator (CSIRO 2020) On board, Thomas assisted scientists with marine research; enhanced his STEM content knowledge; ran outreach activities, including live video broadcasts; and developed curriculum-linked resources for his own classroom and to share with other teachers. Prior to his voyage, Thomas attended a variety of training and planning activities, including an Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) online workshop. The ALA workshop explained how to find information on the spec

New ALA strategy for 2020-2025
Jul 6, 2020 · original
The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) strategy has been shaped extensively by input from our national and international partners who contributed so actively to our 2019 ALA Future Directions national consultation process. Download the Atlas of Living Australia Strategy 2020-2025 As Australia’s national biodiversity data infrastructure and one of the world’s foremost such capabilities, we rely on the strength of our partnerships with data providers, users and stakeholders. Indeed, the genesis of the ALA was built on the strength and richness of existing relationships within the museums, collections and herbaria communities. Australia’s fruitful partnership with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility ( GBIF ) also provides our community a unique opportunity to ensure that local, regional or national biodiversity data delivers impact globally. The ALA is particularly proud of the relati
