An international research project has found human activity has been causing global warming for almost two centuries, proving human-induced climate change is not just a 20th century phenomenon. Lead researcher Associate Professor Nerilie Abram from The Australian National University (ANU) said the...

RMIT researchers are using the NCI supercomputer in a major space, atmosphere and satellite navigation research centre. The Satellite Positioning for Atmosphere, Climate and Environment (SPACE) Research Centre uses high performance computing to work through large quantities of data from satellites...

Collaborative work between researchers from The Australian National University and NCI is leading to new understandings about bushfires and bushfire prevention. Dr Marta Yebra from the Bushfires and Natural Hazards Collaborative Research Centre is using satellite images to understand the fire fuel...

The National Computational Infrastructure has generated new optimisation solutions to help resolve important details emerging from magnetotelluric studies of the Australian continent. Magnetotellurics (MT) is a process by which the measurement of the variations in the Earth's magnetic field and...

Artist Erica Seccombe, a PhD student and lecturer at The Australian National University School of Art, is combining time resolved micro-CT scans and the NCI-developed high performance visualisation software Drishti in her artistic work. She has been imaging the germination of mung beans for her PhD...

Supercomputing infrastructure is helping scientists from the University of Technology Sydney produce satellite data products for vegetation and land monitoring. The researchers have analysed terabytes of Australian regional data from the Terra Modis satellite and brought it all together so that...

Dr Jenny Fisher from the University of Wollongong Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry is using computer modelling to understand the chemical processes happening in the atmosphere. These processes drive the dispersion of air pollution, greenhouse gases and airborne particles from cities and Australia...

What better way to design the next generation of computers than with the best of the current generation? The NCI supercomputer ‘Gadi’ is playing that role to help University of Sydney quantum physicists in their work to design and improve emerging quantum technologies. THE CHALLENGE Quantum...
