We have learned a lot about gravity on Earth since its discovery in the 17th century. Now, thanks to new NCRIS enabled research and a good dose of mathematical wizardry, geoscientists can look forward to modelling gravity data with far greater efficiency.

For a long time, scientists have understood Earth’s atmospheric temperatures to be primarily regulated by cycling carbon between continents, oceans, and the atmosphere. However, new NCRIS enabled research using GPlates software shows that, over the span of millions of years, there is a surprise key player in Earth’s global ‘thermostat’.

If you go down beneath the surface, under the rugged exterior, and into the inner workings of volcanoes things get interesting. In a recent study, researchers from Australia and France have combined NCRIS enabled esys-eScript modelling software with inversion code in a new approach to capture first rumbles earlier, deeper, and in greater detail than ever before.

Before the pandemic crept in, we hoped to bring you this story of Slovenia based biologists using NCRIS enabled GPlates software to help explain how golden orbweaver spiders migrated around the world over the last 130 million years. But it’s an intricate web we weave, you see, and only now can we wrap this up for you.

The landscape of eastern Australia is dotted with hundreds of extinct volcanoes. They gave rise to an environment to which Aboriginal people have been connected for tens of thousands of years, and the rich soils upon which modern Australia has grown in the last few hundred years. Yet until recently, these volcanoes posed a geological mystery.

The Monash Earth Sciences Garden is a fantastic educational resource for students interested in geology, physical geography and atmospheric science. Now, with the combined power of advanced remote sensing, computation, and a humble smartphone, we can now all explore and analyse rocks in the garden from the comfort of our living rooms.

How can we geoscientists share what we do with the public — and what are we looking for in return? It’s an urgent question in these uncertain times, and one that AuScope representative, Rohan Byrne found on the minds of many delegates at the Australian Science Communicators 2020 conference.

Injecting compressed carbon dioxide gas (C02) deep underground in a process called geosequestration could potentially be one approach to reducing it in the atmosphere. An extremely important aspect of geosequestration is monitoring the injected CO2 to ensure that it stays within the porous rock zone as anticipated. eScript can help.
