The EarthByte research group aims to connect geodynamic modelling tools to geological and geophysical data in space and geological time.
EarthByte is hosted by the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. This group aims at understanding how the Earth works now and how it worked in the passed. Its researchers probe the Earth present day structure and its history using field and laboratory-based data acquisition techniques coupled with computer-based data processing, modelling and interpretation. Integrating field data through GeoInformatics means are our core business.
Our strengths make us unique in Australia:
• International Research Group: EarthByte is engaged in collaborative works with partner in all continents.
• Our postgraduates come from many horizons, Geosciences, Physics, and Computer Sciences.
• The combination of our computational capability with our expertise in quantitative geology and geophysics.
• EarthByte has a balanced research porfolio including Industry-funded applied research and fundamental ARC-funded research projects.
• Our research strategy embraces:
-> Open source philosophy: EarthByte researchers do not waste time re-inventing the wheel;
-> Collaborative work with groups and individual sharing our enthousiam for research : EarthByte researchers do not waste resources through pointless competition;
-> International students exchange including Ph.D. cotutelle to promote collaboration and the sharing of expertises: EarthByte researchers understand the need for postgraduate to engage with international research.
EarthByte engages in International collaborative research :
• To ensure that our group remains competitive at International level.
• To keep in touch with cutting edge research.
• To promote opportunities to our postgraduate students.
• To the diversify our postgraduate base.
• Just because it's fun...
