The EarthByte Group was established within the School of Geosciences at The University of Sydney in 2002. The group is made up of full-time academic staff members and full-time software developers. We supervise postgraduate(PhD and Masters) and honours students. A number of undergraduates also work as research assistants with the group.
The team is led by Prof. Dietmar Müller and Prof. Patrice Rey. The EarthByte group has a strong collaborative research base, both nationally and internationally. Besides the researchers from Australia, our research collaborations also include researchers from Asia, Oceania, Europe and North America.
