Join the International Data Week 2025 from October 13-16 in Brisbane. Discover cutting-edge data strategies under "Data for Positive Change." Hosted by the Australian Research Data Commons, expect workshops and networking. #DataInnovation #IDW2025

Good news! Our services, including #Ecosounds and #A2O, are back online sooner than expected: now! Thank you for your patience and understanding during the outage. We appreciate your support and wish everyone the best in their recovery efforts.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent extreme weather in QLD and NSW. Unfortunately, our services, including #Ecosounds and #A2O, are still down. We aim to have them restored in the coming days and will keep you updated.

🚨Attention Australian ecoacoustic community! 🚨 Stay safe and prepared. Our services, including #Ecosounds and #A2O, will be down from 3 pm today until next week due to server shutdowns for the #cycloneAlfred. #StaySafe #ecoacoustics #bioacoustics @ardc.edu.au
