… essentially the BCCVL has enabled us to ask ques-tions that we couldn’t ask before – questions we may have wanted to ask but couldn’t logistically hope to answer, so it’s opened up a whole new field of enquiry.

- Professor Brendan Mackey, Griffith University

With its easy to use interface, accessible from anywhere, it opens the field to a whole new array of researchers who understand the systems they are working on, but do not have the technical skill-sets or hardware to properly answer their questions.

- Associate Professor Shawn Laffan, UNSW

Funded by the Commonwealth Government National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Startegy (NCRIS). Co-investments have also been made by project partners.

A national environmental

analysis service

Supporting data-intensive workflows

to investigate and manage dynamic

ecological systems.

User-friendly workflows that are connected,

robust, transparent and repeatable.

Interoperable with economic and social

system models.

Includes modelling workflows for species occurence and traits,

catchment hydrology, landscape dynamics, fire

regime, and image analysis.

Networked, interoperable and

curated data.

Optimising data access across NCRIS facilities

and to analysis workflows.

Enabling triple-bottom-line

analysis by increasing interoperability across

environment (terrestrial, marine and freshwater),

social and economic data.

Reducing replication through partnerships

and collaboration.

Enabling cutting edge research through the flexibility of managed command-line tools,

combined with curated data and compute

resources.

Version-controlled computational

environments that contain code, data, and interactive front ends.

Includes collaborative computing, application

publishers, custom computing

environments and discipline agnostic tools

for cross-domain collaboration.

Facilitating border-less research by enabling

seamless data, tool and workflow exchange across Australia and

designated international deployments.

Enhancing productivity of research by

embracing examples of international best

practices.

Fostering opportunities for Australian

researchers to facilitate impactful research and build diversity on our skills and expertise.

Enhancing the translation of digital infrastructure to the

ecoscience community by educating and

upskilling thenext generation of

environmental scientists and managers.

A program for university lecturers, researchers

and industry professionals.
