Overview


Over the last 15 years, AuScope has made a significant positive impact on Australia’s economy, society and environment. Our specialist tools, data, services, expertise and leadership have helped explorers find critical minerals, researchers model COVID-19 mobility data, defence personnel locate unexploded bombs, and inventors scale and commercialise a home-grown mineralogy logging innovation. It is hardly surprising that AuScope’s ROI is estimated at $15 for every $1 spent (Lateral Economics, 2016).

Enabling fundamental and applied geoscience is imperative to address Australia’s grand challenges related to critical minerals, energy and water security, as well as the mitigation of natural hazards like earthquakes, floods, landslides and coastal erosion.
