Via new research infrastructure delivery partner ANZIC, AuScope is proud to support eight Indigenous geoscience professionals and undergraduate students in joining the JOIDES Resolution (JR) Academy, a two-week ‘science at sea’ experience on board the JR vessel from Naples to Amsterdam in April 2024. Participants can generate cross-cultural thinking towards a new paradigm in geoscience practice and impact globally. Jump aboard from online!
On Thursday, the 19th of October, the Minister for Education, the Hon Jason Clare MP, and the Minister for Innovation and Science, the Hon Ed Husic MP, announced the outcomes of the 2023 NCRIS Research Infrastructure Investment Plan (RIIP) funding round. Discover our plans for activities based on recommendations proposed in our community-designed 5-year investment plan.
Explore our 2023 Highlights video, where we showcase our infrastructure advancements, engagement activities, and the impactful contributions of our research community towards Australia’s decadal geoscience challenges, from climate change to critical minerals, water security, coastal impact, energy and geohazards.
Members of the earth science community from all over Australia came to Canberra in September to take part in a unique gathering – the Integrated Earth 2023 conference.
The NCRIS enabled partnership between Australia’s national science agency CSIRO and the AuScope Geochemistry Network (AGN) has successfully preserved a valuable collection of geochemical data.
We 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.
David Upton from Precompetitive Review explores AusGeochem's ability to visualise diverse data. He takes a closer look at the North Australia Craton and North China Craton in the Proterozoic with Dr Samuel Boone.
Save the dates for Integrated Earth 2023, a two-day conference between 12-13 September at the Shine Dome on Ngunnawal Country (Canberra) for Earth systems scientists and STEM professionals.
Recently, 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.
Recently, 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.
Join 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!
National Science Week 2022 is here! We are excited to join Australia’s science community, by celebrating our nation’s diverse geoscience talent, technology and tools. Here we share our two events: Asteroids to Oceans (an NCRIS collaboration) and Immersive Earth (an online arts-science experience).
Have the wilderness adventures of Bear Grylls, Survivor or Alone on TV captured your imagination? If so, it’s time to change channels and join Dr Kate Selway on a trip to Greenland to undertake critical climate change monitoring.
AuScope is excited to learn about the new ministerial appointments that Australia’s new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese unveiled earlier this week. Geoscientists, meet the MPs who plan to lift investment in industry and the research sector to “…closer to 3% of GDP achieved in other countries”.
Yesterday, the Morrison Government launched the 2021 National Research Infrastructure Roadmap, which details how future research needs will be incrementally supported over the next five years for the sciences and humanities. Here is our snapshot through a geoscience lens and the next steps we plan to take.
In September 2021, AuScope, CSIRO, and Geoscience Australia supported an Indigenous-led workshop titled Ancient Rocks, Ancient Culture And You to explore how the Australian geoscience community can be more inclusive of Indigenous Australians in geoscientific programs.
More than fifteen months of work for the AuScope Geochemistry Network (AGN) and partners Lithodat have recently culminated in the release of the AusGeochem platform. Let’s meet the faces behind the platform!
The AGN Project Team and collaborators Lithodat are excited to announce that the first iteration of the AusGeochem platform is now live! AusGeochem is a cloud-hosted open geochemistry data platform that is simultaneously a geosample registry, a geochemistry data repository, and an active research tool.
We are excited to announce the AuScope Research Conference 2021, a two-day celebration of the latest Australian geoscience research that aims to address some of the biggest questions of our time on Earth. This online event will bring our diverse community together, and encourage new ideas and collaborations to seed.
Science evolves from the capacity to see and think differently. AuScope’s Downward Looking Telescope (DLT) is our vision for a futureproof research infrastructure system that will allow researchers to ‘see’ into Earth and capture, focus and analyse data to help us think deeply about Australia’s future on Planet A. Here we explain the importance of each DLT Component.
Heat flow data provide us with unique insights about how the Earth moves; from the churning interior to the rise of mountains and the jostling of tectonic plates. To help understand our future on this dynamic planet AuScope is enabling NCRIS to develop breakthrough heat flow research infrastructure.
Today marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week. In its twentieth year, First Nations people call out tokenistic responses to reconciliation and ask all Australians to take action. We heed the call, and ask all geoscientists to, too.
Since our last update members of the AuScope Geochemistry Network (AGN) have presented at a number of conferences, developed proposals for the expansion of the network and made great progress on the development of the AusGeochem platform and a new project, LabFinder.
