Welcome to the Centre for Biodiversity Analysis
Biodiversity is not static - it is constantly changing. The current patterns of biodiversity we observe today, and work to protect and restore, reflect evolutionary processes, past environmental change and future adaptation potential.
The Centre for Biodiversity Analysis (CBA) is a collaborative initiative of the ANU, CSIRO and University of Canberra that connects scientists and their research to exploit new and emerging technologies in the discovery, understanding, conservation and restoration of Australia’s unique biodiversity in the face of accelerating environmental change.
A CBA initiative that aims to establish the DiversityScanner technology in Australia to advance biodiversity monitoring and discovery using a novel combination of robotics, genomics and AI.
Explore the technical and roundtable workshops offered by the CBA that bring together researchers, professionals, and students to learn and discuss key topics in biodiversity science and management.
Discover CBA grants and funding opportunities at ANU. Support innovative biodiversity research and collaborative projects addressing global ecological challenges through financial and resource assistance.
The EBL is a joint initiative of ANU and CSIRO that seeks to support training, collaboration and cross-pollination.
Explore the impactful research at the Centre. Our work drives biodiversity conservation through innovative science, collaborative partnerships and data-driven solutions to address global ecological challenges.
The Centre for Biodiversity Analysis is pleased to announce a great lineup of interstate and international visitors coming to Canberra in 2026.
Support for collaboration, networking and training opportunities for biodiversity scientists and students at the ANU, CSIRO and University of Canberra, and beyond.
