Welcome to Dustwatch Australia

A community research project, monitoring the extent and severity of wind erosion across Australia.

The strength of DustWatch is in the local knowledge given to us by a nation-wide network of volunteers.

The observations of dust activity submitted to us by DustWatchers is combined with data from monitoring equipment, meteorological records and satellite imagery to give us a more comprehensive understanding of dust transport processes in Australia.

DustWatch is a source of information for the Federal Government, and Regional Catchment Management Authorities.
