National Facilities at RSES

IODP - Integrated Ocean Drilling Program

RSES hosts the Australian Office for IODP. Australia and New Zealand form the Australia-New Zealand IODP Consortium (ANZIC), and the two countries have access to all IODP activities including shipboard and post-cruise research, participation in planning committees and groups, and visits from outstanding scientific speakers. Both countries provide members of the ANZIC Governing Council, and of the ANZIC Science Committee. The Australian involvement is funded by the Australian Research Council, 14 universities, and three Government agencies.

ANSIR - A National Research Facility in the Earth Sciences

ANSIR provides support for a variety of styles of experiments in Earth Imaging. There is a pool of state-of-the-art seismic equipment suitable for experiments on a wide variety of scales, from the investigation of geologic structures on environmental and mine scales through to studies at the continental scale of the entire lithosphere. Some Magnetotelluric equipment can be accessed through applications to the Facility. ANSIR acts as a facilitation agent for Reflection Seismic Profiling since it no longer owns any reflection equipment.
