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

From left to right: Markus Hegland, Md. Mohsin Ali, Brendan Harding, Peter Strazdins A team of researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have used the NCI facilities to conduct ground-breaking research that has won an award for outstanding paper at an international conference. The

The National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) hosted at The Australian National University (ANU) is the nation's most highly integrated and highest performing supercomputing centre. It supports a vast amount of the computational data-intensive research undertaken in Australia. With funding support

Congratulations to Dr Lesley Wyborn who has received the '2015 Outstanding Contributions in Geoinformatics' award from the Geological Society of America. This prestigious award recognizes Lesley's tremendous impact across the geoscience and other scientific domains in Australia and around the world

A remarkably detailed animation of the movement of the densest and coldest water in the world around Antarctica has been produced using data generated on Australia's most powerful supercomputer, Raijin. Chief Investigator, Dr Andy Hogg, from the ANU hub of ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System
