Geoscientists have, for the first time, discovered the origins of Australia's two largest basins: Lake Eyre and the Murray-Darling Basin. The research also implies that in 30 million years' time both basins will cease to exist. Monash University geoscientist Associate Professor Wouter Schellart, and

Click on this image to watch the changes. Around 55 million years ago, an abrupt global warming event triggered a highly corrosive deep-water current to flow through the North Atlantic Ocean. The current's origin puzzled scientists for a decade, but with the help of NCI's supercomputer, an

Congratulations to the four NCI-supported researchers who have been announced as Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science. Professors Martin Asplund and Malcolm Sambridge from ANU, Maria Forsyth from Deakin University, and Julian Gale from Curtin University were among the 21 new Fellows

MEDIA RELEASE On 18 June, 2015 in Canberra, Australia, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Geoscience Australia signed a comprehensive new partnership to maximise land remote sensing data that can help to address issues of national and international significance. "This partnership builds on a long

NCI-supported CSIRO researcher Dr Ravichandar Babarao has received the 2015 Prosper.net Scopus Young Scientist Award in Sustainable Development. Dr Babarao has been using Raijin to search for a carbon dioxide-absorbing material for application in sustainable energy systems. "With increasing usage of

NCI is the provider of high-performance computing resources for the $5.4M ARC Research Hub for Basin Geodynamics and Evolution of Sedimentary Systems (GENESIS), which was launched on 19 August 2015. The Basin GENESIS Hub will use computer modelling to fine-tune our understanding of the nation's

See how the Canberra landscape has changed over the last three decades in this fascinating video created by NCI staff. The video shows 108 images of the Canberra region taken by the USGS/NASA Landsat satellites between 1987 and 2014. The video highlights green vegetation on the ground so differences

The National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme (NCMAS) is the principal competitive program for allocation of high-performance computing resources for scientific research in Australia. In 2016, NCMAS will provide a total of approximately 200 million core-hours on five national HPC facilities to

PhD student Honglin Yu. More than one billion people currently use YouTube, and 300 hours of video are uploaded to the video-sharing website every minute. In this digital age there's a constant need to better understand social media, how it evolves and the factors and benefits of using tools like

Bushfires can cause devastating environmental and societal problems in Australia and other fire-prone parts of the world. NCI's supercomputer facilities are enabling A/Prof Jason Sharples, expert in bushfire dynamics simulation and modelling from UNSW, and his team to use computer modelling to
