QCIF Projects

Live traffic congestion mapping

Providing travellers with real-time information on traffic conditions and congestion in the South East Queensland area.

ReDBox 1.1

ReDBox, originally built by USQ with an ANDS grant, is being extended into version 1.1 by CQUniversity (CQU) and QCIF with further ANDs funding. The ReDBox and Mint platforms help the research community describe and share metadata about research data holdings.

Visualisation of methane gas on Little Nerang Dam

The interactive 3D visualisation shows how the greenhouse gas is generated in the dam's sedement zone. It allows non-technical stakeholders to make better informed decisions about methane management.

Improving the Automated force field Topology Builder (ATB) and repository

Helping the UQ Molecular Dynamics group to improve the capacity of their software to handle at least 100 molecules at a time, up from 20, QCIF has enabled the group to continue its disease research at the cutting edge.

Tropical Data Hub

The Tropical Data Hub (TDH) is a JCU developed centralised data store making it easier for researchers to manage data related to the tropics. An open portal, it facilitates a multi-disciplinary approach to issues around climate change and conservation.
