Here we show how ocean age data can be triangulated on the sphere with no need for points on land using Stripy. Once Stripy ingests your data points, you can do lots of cool things like sample another data set to your grid (bathymetry in the right image), smoothing, finding the derivatives of your data, or interpolating to another set of points.

The compressed gaseous CO2 is then further compressed into supercritical CO2 before it is pumped more than 1 kilometre underground where it is trapped by a thick layer of clay or some other plug to prevent it leaking out in a porous rock called an aquifer.

AuScope contributed 200 kilometres of the 580 kilometre profile and in particular supported the part of the line that bridged the South Australia/Northern Territory border.

The instrument was fully commissioned in 2010 at the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation & Analysis (CMCA) at the University of Western Australia and is unique in its ability to measure in situ stable isotopes at the microscale. The Facility is operated and maintained by CMCA.
