The GLACI Infrastructure facility will provide deployed/telemetered and portable instruments to investigate glaciers and adjacent areas, including ice sheets, ice streams, and ice shelves.

This project, supported by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), aims to future-proof Australia’s valuable geophysical datasets by transforming them into formats compatible with high-performance computing (HPC).

This project aims to update outdated software across Ar-Ar laboratories in Australia to a unified open-source platform, enabling long-term accessibility, adaptability, and international compatibility.

This pilot will help build an open-access, online digital microscope and a microchemical analysis platform to study and analyse significant rock specimens in minute detail.

Novel Hyperspectral Mineral Mapping aims to upgrade the pre-existing SPEC-E Lab at ANU to facilitate the deployment of novel techniques which aim to produce unique mineral collections and subsequent spectral databases for researchers and industry.

SWAIS2C is a project under the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) that aims to acquire samples and data under the Ross Ice Shelf that are crucial for forecasting rising sea levels and monitoring associated impacts on coastal regions worldwide.

Development of new dating methods will help push the boundaries of geochronology. Through the installation of a new laser system at Adelaide Microscopy, earth scientists can enhance their analyses of geological materials at an unprecedented rate, providing new temporal frameworks to resource exploration.

The ‘Magnetometers-in-Schools’ project aims to develop a pilot outreach program for schools by deploying magnetometers and lesson plans to boost school curriculum in areas of Earth Science.

Groundwater sampling will receive a boost through the combined effort of the CSIRO and University of Adelaide’s noble gas facilities to contribute to the development of the AusGeochem database and subsequent research in water security and industry sectors.

The Geophysical Research Infrastructure for Antarctica (GRIT) project aims to advance Antarctic research by deploying specialised geophysical instrumentation tailored to the continent's extreme conditions.

Plate tectonics, volcanism, epeirogenic motions, hotspots, basin formation, episodes of mountain building, igneous intrusions, metamorphism — all are consequences of the flow of heat within the Earth at the mantle and lithosphere scale.

AuScope is unlocking new insights into geological processes crucial for accumulating critical mineral deposits via revolutionising Sr-isotope micro-analysis in a range of geological materials using cutting-edge laser ablation multi-collector mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS).
