In this infrastructure building project we collaborate with The University of Sydney, and assist scientists with (user-defined) seed projects at JCU, UQ and Monash Universities. This project fosters research involving tectonic reconstruction, on regional- to planet-scale. Pplates is designed and built by Dr Joe Kurtz, Sam Hart, and Professor Gordon Lister as part of the effort going towards construction of the modelling and simulation AuScope software machine.
