Antarctica holds clues to how our planet is responding to climate change, and what it means for our future. AuScope is helping researchers uncover these secrets by building hardened instruments for the continent’s extreme conditions, drilling to unlock secrets in sediments beneath the ice, and developing advanced software to model sea-level rise. These NCRIS-enabled tools are vital for preparing communities for a warming world.

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!
