Read MoreBelay Gulte Mino and Dr Graeme Beardsmore utilise NCRIS resources to advance global heat flow data and explore geothermal energy, with the potential to create a globally impactful heat flow map of Ethiopia.
Read MoreWe are excited to celebrate AuScope’s Simulation, Analysis & Modelling (SAM) Lead, Professor Louis Moresi, alongside 19 other science leaders as Australian Academy of Science (AAS) 2023 Fellows.
Read MoreRecently, teams from our AuScope Geochemistry Network team and Museums Victoria collaborated to enhance researcher access to an extensive collection of data for museum-held rocks and mineral specimens via the NCRIS enabled AusGeochem platform. Here collaborators share details of their successful project.
Read MoreRecently, we created an online space called AuScope Convergence 2022 for our national geoscience community to ponder new ways to overcome collaboration barriers. Our aspiration: by better addressing barriers to collaboration, we can become better innovators as we strive to address national geoscience challenges. We looked to innovators in and beyond our field to inspire us. Here’s our recap.
Read MoreJoin us online for a special, bite-sized virtual gathering over two days (2 — 3 November 2022) to discover different approaches to, and tools and mindsets for, inclusive geoscientific collaboration and innovation. Ponder new ideas, gain new skills, and help us to strengthen and enrich our diverse and dispersed community!
Read MoreThis year, AuScope attended Science Meets Parliament 2022, an annual event designed by Science & Technology Australia (STA) to ‘forge deeper connections between federal Parliamentarians and those working in science and technology’. Here’s what our representatives had to say.
Read MoreWe would like to welcome Professor Cam McCuaig to AuScope’s Board of Directors. Cam brings a wealth of experience in research, minerals exploration and leadership to our team.
Read MoreProfessor Fred Jourdan is fascinated by asteroids, passionate about sharing his research far and wide, and managing the NCRIS enabled Western Australia Argon Isotope Facility at Curtin University! Discover Fred’s path from the laboratory to Youtube.
Read MoreToday for International Day of Women and Girls in Science we celebrate a globally esteemed geoscientist in our midst, Associate Professor Heather Handley. Investigating volcanoes, fighting for gender equity in geoscience, designing a film festival and writing a book are all in a day’s work for Heather.
Read MoreMeet Dr Rebecca Farrington, a passionate science leader and researcher who joins AuScope as Director of Research Data Systems from today. Rebecca is passionate about research data, and the people behind it.
Read MoreDr Sara Polanco has been tracking rivers since she was a teenager in Colombia. Her work helps us prepare for the future environmental change of rivers and efficiently manage the water resources for the future. We are excited to profile Sara and her passion for rivers, old and new!
Read MoreIt’s rare to have a mineral named after oneself, but it’s something that distinguished Professor Sue O’Reilly can now add to her extensive accolades after a rare and exotic mineral from the Mt Carmel Ranges in Israel was recognised in an NCRIS and AuScope enabled Macquarie GeoAnalytical (MQGA) facility in Sydney.
Last week, our wonderful AuScope technical officer, Goran Boren won The University of Adelaide’s Faculty of Sciences Professional staff member of 2020. Our technical staff are often the unsung heroes of all our projects and programs, and without Goran we would have no magnetotelluric (MT) program. Here, Goran’s collaborators over the years shine a light on his extraordinary work over the years.
Read MoreAuScope is excited to welcome Dr Jens Klump to the AuScope Virtual Research Environment (AVRE) program to guide the team through the exciting next phase of user-centric infrastructure development that will enable novel geoscience research.
Read MoreRecently, we farewelled one of our much-loved Board Members, Dr Peter Woodgate after he helped to shape AuScope’s strategic direction for almost a decade. Before Peter turns his full attention to space enabled science, we reflect together on his accomplished career so far; and his thoughts on AuScope’s achievements, opportunities, and challenges ahead.
Read MoreMany of us admire minerals for their array of curious habits and colours, and maybe even their acclaimed ‘healing’ properties. But geologist Monica leGras from CSIRO Mineral Resources sees them in a slightly different light…
Read MoreMeet Min, our talented Subsurface Observatory technician who has taken her love of geology into the arts, environment and community — all in the name of reconnecting people with place.
Read MoreRecently, 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.
Read MoreIntroducing the AuScope Geochemistry Network (AGN), a new project within the AuScope Earth Composition and Evolution (ECE) Program which aims to create, coordinate, promote and develop national geochemistry research infrastructure and maximise its use by the Australian research community.
