Cooperative Research Centre for Predictive
Mineral Discovery (pmd*CRC)
The predictive mineral discovery CRC aims to generate a
fundamental shift in exploration practice and cost-effectiveness by
improving understanding of mineralising processes and the evolution
of mineralised terranes. The School of Geosciences is a major partner
in the pmd*CRC. Further information. |

Australian Computational Earth Systems Simulator
(ACcESS)
ACcESS is one of fifteen new national research facilities established
under the Australian Government's Major National Research Facilities
program. ACcESS is developing the integrated software and parallel supercomputer
hardware required to simulate the dynamics of the entire earth, and
will integrate geological and tectonic models developed in the Australian
Crustal Research Centre. Further information. |
