NCI is pleased to announce a new collaboration with the Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems CRC. The ACE CRC is Australia's primary vehicle for understanding the role of the Antarctic region in the global climate system, and the implications for marine ecosystems. Their purpose is to provide governments

Dr Rika Kobayashi, NCI Academic Consultant in Computational Chemistry Earlier this month, I presented at the CECAM workshop: " Charge Transfer Modeling in Chemistry: new methods and solutions for a long-standing problem" attended by researchers from all over the world. Charge-transfer (CT)

Media release The likelihood of record-breaking warm years in England is set to substantially increase as a result of the human influence on the climate, new research suggests. In a study published today, 1 May, in IOP Publishing's journal Environmental Research Letters, an international team of

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
