Summary
Computational geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics at the petascale. The rise of petascale computing provides great potential for new insight, provided one can harness the resources. This project will develop a state-of-the-art computational framework for solving general partial differential equations relevant to many contemporary applications in astrophysics and the geosciences. This project will design a toolkit for maximum extensibility by a large community of scientists and applied m ....Computational geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics at the petascale. The rise of petascale computing provides great potential for new insight, provided one can harness the resources. This project will develop a state-of-the-art computational framework for solving general partial differential equations relevant to many contemporary applications in astrophysics and the geosciences. This project will design a toolkit for maximum extensibility by a large community of scientists and applied mathematicians. Building a highly flexible framework allows the agile design and side-by-side comparison of new mathematical models and computational algorithms. This project will employ the new framework on a number of key science areas such as the dynamics of solar magnetism, and tidal interactions in stars and planetary interiors.Read moreRead less

Lunar crustal structure from high-res gravity, topography, and seismic data. This project aims to improve our knowledge of the Moon, including its surface processes, interior structure, modification by geological processes and creation and evolution. The Moon preserves the longest and cleanest records of surface geology in the Solar System’s history, unlike the Earth. The lunar crust should exhibit strong heterogeneity in density (both porosity and composition) given its complex history of impac ....Lunar crustal structure from high-res gravity, topography, and seismic data. This project aims to improve our knowledge of the Moon, including its surface processes, interior structure, modification by geological processes and creation and evolution. The Moon preserves the longest and cleanest records of surface geology in the Solar System’s history, unlike the Earth. The lunar crust should exhibit strong heterogeneity in density (both porosity and composition) given its complex history of impact bombardment and volcanism. This project aims to determine radial and lateral heterogeneity in density and porosity within the Moon's crust, by analysing Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory gravity and spacecraft tracking data, Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter topography and in situ Apollo seismological data.Read moreRead less
High-temperature high-pressure NMR cross-correlations through experiment and consistent modeling. The integration of modelling and laboratory experiments on reservoir rock at reservoir conditions allow the efficient use of expensive reservoir core. Reliable cross-correlations and the understanding of the underlying mechanisms will aid the responsible development of Australia's tight gas, coal-bed methane, and geothermal energy resources.
Next-generation luminescence dating techniques for Earth and archaeological science applications. Chronology is a critical component of geological and archaeological studies. To reconstruct the evolutionary histories of Homo sapiens and other hominin species in their environmental context, we must establish reliable age estimates for key archaeological sites and Quaternary deposits. This project aims to develop new-generation sediment dating techniques using the non-fading infrared stimulated lu ....Next-generation luminescence dating techniques for Earth and archaeological science applications. Chronology is a critical component of geological and archaeological studies. To reconstruct the evolutionary histories of Homo sapiens and other hominin species in their environmental context, we must establish reliable age estimates for key archaeological sites and Quaternary deposits. This project aims to develop new-generation sediment dating techniques using the non-fading infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signal from potassium feldspars. These improved methods will be able to be applied to sites in Africa, Europe and Asia that contain important human fossils and artefacts, including the unique type localities of ‘Denisovans’ and ‘Hobbits’, to answer fundamental questions about the timing of key turning points in human evolution and dispersal.Read moreRead less
