Title: Exploring the Universe Without Costing the Earth

Abstract: Science is a global endeavour and brings huge benefits to humankind. Modern astronomy is exploring the far reaches of the Universe, with tremendous advances in the last ten years: the detection of gravitational waves, the first direct image of a black hole, and the discovery of powerful radio bursts rippling across cosmic distances. Great science requires resource-intensive infrastructure, large collaborations, and now more than ever, powerful supercomputers. The environmental impact of our scientific endeavours must not outweigh their benefits. I will describe how Australian astronomy is beginning to meet this challenge, and becoming a leader in sustainable science. I’ll also show the unique perspective that astronomy itself brings to this challenge, and how that can guide our future actions.
Thanks,

Themiya.
