Solar radiation

The Solar UV group within the Department of Biological & Physical Sciences was established in 1993 by Dr Alfio Parisi and operates within the Faculty of Sciences, USQ. Research led by staff within the Department aims to increase the scientific knowledge of the solar UV environment and its interaction with the biosphere.

USQ offers a number of scientific courses, undergraduate and postgraduate programs in physics.

The latest UV index and weather conditions for the Toowoomba area are services provided by the Department.
