Have you heard of forensic seismology, the emerging field that studies human-made Earth vibrations, including nuclear explosions? Our AuSIS team recently stepped into it in collaboration with the RAAF to better detect unexploded bombs.
Read MoreIn November 2021, Chalice Mining Limited released a maiden resource statement for the Julimar polymetallic mineral deposit in WA — an exciting milestone for Chalice on the path to delivering palladium, nickel, copper and platinum for clean energy technologies. Equally impressive is the decades-long backstory to the Julimar discovery, with NCRIS enabled seismology at the heart.
Read MoreOur spectrometry wizards at Macquarie University’s MQ GeoAnalytical laboratory (MQGA) are at it again, innovatively applying their new age-dating technique to novel science challenges outside of the geology domain.
Read MoreHold onto your coffee cups and comfort the dog. This morning’s earthquake in southeastern Australia, which is perhaps the largest in the region in 200 years, thankfully has not yet caused any injuries. It has, however, provided AuScope geoscientists with the opportunity to investigate this record-breaking moment. Here are their thoughts!
Read MoreWhat do fast wifi, aerogard and HyLogger have in common? All three are CSIRO science innovations, but the third you may not know, despite its fifteen-year history and far-reaching positive impact on the planet about to unfurl. With early NCRIS investment via AuScope, the quiet achieving HyLogger has changed the game for critical minerals hunters.
Read MoreAfter years of building NCRIS enabled software to address geodynamics problems, researcher and AuScoper from The University of Melbourne, Rohan Byrne, found an opportunity to turn his Everest code to help model COVID-19 mobility data during Melbourne’s 2020 and 2021 lockdown periods.
Read MoreScientists are among the millions of die-hard Game of Thrones fans digesting the show’s finale today. The striking landscape of Game of Thrones has led some researchers to build climate simulations that explain the erratic seasons depicted in the show, and others to piece together the geological history.
Read MorePartners, Geoscience Australia set to lead the charge on two world class projects.
Read MoreAustralia’s base of geoscience and geospatial – or, Earth science – knowledge and capability is crucial to our economic, social and environmental future.
Read MoreHydrogeologists demonstrate that AuScope code is critical for advanced geotechnical risk assessment.
Read MoreGeodetic tool dramatically advances severe storm detection in Australia, thus reducing economic impact through property damage and, in some cases, injury and loss of life.
