International and Australian organizations are investing in large projects involving the collection of terabytes of scientific data. The Anglo-Australian Galaxy Redshift Survey in eastern Australia has obtained data for a quarter of a million galaxies. Similarly the Tropical Ocean Global Atmophere(TOGA) program is being expanded to collect data from the equatorial pacific region which will help better understand the El Nino/Southern Oscillation Cycle. We are developing powerful spatial data mining tools which will go a long way in finding potential nuggets of useful information in these large databases and help Australian and international scientists hypothesise new theories to explain the underlying phenomenon.Read moreRead less
