CSIRO Australia Telescope National Facility

CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research
CSIRO Office of Space Science & Applications (COSSA) Earth Observation Centre (EOC)

Responsibilities of the COSSA Unit are to:

• Coordinate and pursue National and International liaison, agreements, instrument, data and platform access and representation in space based science, technology and earth observation on behalf of CSIRO
• Engage in strategic planning for CSIRO activities in space based science, technology and earth observation in conjunction with other Australian strategic and policy units
• Develop and pursue successful scientific and collaborative research and demonstration involving scientists from across the CSIRO Divisions through the Earth Observation Centre (EOC)

In carrying out these functions, COSSA is overseen by a Steering Committee of Chiefs with the Chief of one of the Divisions as Chair.
