Basin beginnings
Monash researchers have, for the first time, discovered the origins of Australia’s two largest
basins: Lake Eyre and the Murray-Darling Basin. The research also implies that in 30 million
years’ time both basins will cease to exist.

Creating antimatter in the lab
NCI is helping Curtin’s Professor Igor
Bray answer one of science’s most
intriguing mysteries – Where did all
of the antimatter at the origin of the
Universe go?

Modelling bone remodelling
Professor Qinghua Qin and his team
Dr Lesley Wyborn
ADJUNCT FELLOW, ANU
What are you
currently working on?
I came to NCI mainly for
the opportunity to work on
the 10 Petabytes+ of data
collections that are on the
at ANU are using NCI’s
supercomputing facilities to work out
how bones remodel themselves, with
implications for osteoporosis – and
cricket bats!

Corrosive current
With the help of Raijin, an
international team of researchers has
discovered how a highly corrosive
deep-water current that flows through
the North Atlantic Ocean formed.

NCI National
Environmental Research
Data Interoperability
Platform, and to work with
users ensuring they can
be programmatically
accessed for next
generation interdisciplinary
science. I also participate
on some external
committees developing
data standards for
interoperability and
working on getting
recognition of the new
breed of researcher, the
Data Scientist.
What has been the
highlight of your
career?
Firstly, working with 20
Australian Mineral
Companies in 1997 to
develop an atlas of the
mineral potential of
Australian Proterozoic
Granites and secondly,
coming to NCI to work on
10 Petabytes of Australian
Earth and Environmental
Data.
Where is your
favourite place to
travel to and why?
Two places: Firstly
temperate rainforests of
South Eastern Australia – I
love tree ferns and
eucryphia forests
(particularly plum woods)
and secondly, coastal
temperate mountain areas
of North and South
America, preferably when
they have snow.
