Spectral geology meets the arts at Darwin Festival
Spectral geology meets the arts at Darwin Festival

Recently, geologist, Belinda Smith joined artist Lee Harrop in a group arts-science project led by Lee at the Darwin Festival titled ‘Still Lives — A Beautiful Science’, to share the science of spectral geology as it relates to mineral exploration in Australia. Belinda and Lee reflect with us on insights from each other’s worlds.

Geoscience shows Victoria’s high country starts with New Zealand

Scientists from the Geological Survey of Victoria (GSV) discover that Victoria’s scenic high country continues to be influenced by New Zealand as trans-Tasman tectonic pressure, as it drives up the mountain range. This insight comes from data gathered in new, deep crustal seismic reflection survey enabled* by AuScope.

How did the Australian continent form? How are we impacting it? Can it meet our future minerals, energy and water needs?

 

Our toolkit helps geoscientists answer these national geoscience questions.

 
 
 
 

Thinking deeper

Earth systems affect every part of our lives— where, how, and how long we live. Explore.

 
 

Where the magic happens.

We provide tools, data and analytics to research, government and industry geoscientists across eight integrated programs:

 

Earth Imaging
& Sounding

Using a collection of geophysical equipment to monitor earthquake
activity, image the Australian continent and make data available online.

Geodesy &
Geodynamics

A suite of observational instruments that monitor movement and changes in the state of the Australian Plate.

Earth Composition
& Evolution

Access for researchers to world class geochemistry and geochronology laboratories around the country.

Subsurface
Observatory

Borehole access, downhole tools, aftershock seismometers and petrophysical logging.

AuScope Virtual Research Environment (AVRE)

Making diverse national geoscience data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR); and providing the tools to visualise and process this data.

National Virtual
Core Library (NVCL)

Hyperspectral logging instruments for drill core and supporting eResearch tools and delivery platforms.

Geophysical Education Observatory

High quality earth monitoring based in Australian secondary schools supporting STEM students and researchers alike.

Simulation, Analysis
& Modelling (SAM)

A suite of simulation and modelling platforms for researchers to investigate the evolution of the Australian continent through deep time.
