QCIF supports big imaging data

QCIF and UQ’s Research Computing Centre (RCC) are leading the development of dedicated computing and storage infrastructure to handle the big data volumes expected to be generated by a revolutionary new microscope being installed at UQ’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB).

Cloud computing enables genomics researchers to devote more time and resources to research

The University of Queensland’s Microbial Genomics Lab is increasingly using QCIF and RCC-managed cloud computing resources in a bid to reduce time and financial constraints.

New ecoscience training program launched for “first-rate science education”

A QCIF-backed innovative new training program for tertiary-level ecosystem science educators was piloted in Adelaide last month with great success, and is expected to be rolled out nationally soon.

USQ's Dr Erin Rayment joins QCIF’s board

Dr Erin Rayment, Director of the Office of Research Development at the University of Southern Queensland, has joined QCIF’s board of directors.

Live traffic congestion mapping

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

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.

Adapting to climate change: Terra Nova

There's an important distinction between climate change and climate change adaptation. Research into climate change looks at questions of how the climate is changing and how this change will affect the environment. Climate change adaptation looks at how we can respond to these changes – how we can reduce the impacts of stresses on human and natural systems including our cities and regions, our agriculture and aquaculture, and the biodiversity of our environment, and how we can harness any beneficial opportunities. In other words, what should we do to prepare and adapt?
