What if we could “listen” to the Earth to see what’s beneath our feet? 🌏🔬
Researchers at Geoscience Australia are using ambient noise tomography to turn background seismic noise into detailed 3D images of Australia’s crust and mantle, revealing basin structures, mineral potential, and the deep architecture of the continent.
This massive data-driven effort is powered by the National Computational Infrastructure, with the Gadi supercomputer enabling the processing of 100,000+ seismic station correlations to build a national-scale subsurface model.

Imaging Australia’s crust and mantle with ambient noise tomography using NCI | NCI Continental-scale ambient noise tomography of Australia is being undertaken by the passive seismic imaging team at Geoscience Australia using data from a variety of sources; the AusArray seismic network, Geoscience Australia’s permanent network, the Seismometers in Schools network, and legacy seis...
Partnering with industry to predict and plan for climate change impacts on our oceans: Professor Moninya Roughan (FRSN, FAMOS) from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has been working with industry on FishSOOP – the Fishing Vessels as Ships of Opportunity Program to collect ocean temperature data from around Australia.
She combines this data with additional information collected through the Integrated Marine Observing System and CSIRO’s Marine National Facility, creating ocean modelling programs with support from the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and ACCESS-NRI to predict future conditions.
This work is made possible thanks to support from the Australian Government Department of Education’s National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).

NCI-enabled research into ocean and climate processes earns Dr Adele Morrison a national science honour 🏆
How do tiny ocean processes under Antarctica shape global sea-level rise? ❄️🌊
Dr Adele Morrison (Australian National University), Frederick White Medal recipient, is using HPCD power at NCI to uncover how warm Southern Ocean waters interact with Antarctic ice shelves and drive climate change.
Her high-resolution modelling and observations are revealing what we can’t see at the edge of the ice, only possible with national HPCD.
