EarthSci is an Eclipse RCP platform for creating applications for the visualisation of earth science data. It is an evolution of the existing GA World Wind Suite built on the NASA World Wind Java SDK. The vision for EarthSci is to take the best features of the GA World Wind Suite (Geological model support, WMS/WFS support, tiled data preparation, keyframe animation etc.) and combine them with the best features of the Eclipse platform (modular plugin architecture, in-built help, native windowing, model-based UI) to create a flexible platform with powerful science visualisation features. As development progresses more and more features will be added. https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/earthsci

A Python wrapper was developed jointly between Geoscience Australia, the Australia Indonesia Facility for Disaster Reduction and Badan Geologi which modifies the modelling procedure of FALL3D to simplify its use for those with no background in computational modelling. The development of this wrapper, named here PF3D (python-FALL3D), was undertaken in line with the needs of government agencies and emergency managers responsible for quantifying volcanic ash hazard.

The GA Animator Software is a tool used to create high quality fly-through animations of geoscience data for internal and external stakeholders. It is build using the NASA World Wind Java SDK, as a companion tool to the publicly available 3D Data Viewer.

Upgrade for software package for geochemical modelling released in 1999. Available from OEMD on request to Evgeniy Bastrakov (a password is set for a particular user).

The Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM) is a statistical-parametric model of tropical cyclone behaviour and effects. A statistical model is used to generate synthetic tropical cyclone events. This is then combined with a parametric wind field model to produce estimates of cyclonic wind hazard.

The Bushfire Attack Level Toolbox provides access to ArcGIS geoprocessing scripts that calculate the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) as per Method 1 in AS3959-2009. BAL is a measure of the severity of a building's potential exposure to ember attack, radiant head and direct flame contact. It is defined in AS3959-2009 to serve as a basis for establishing the requirements for construction to improve protection of building elements from attack by bushfire. In the BAL Toolbox, the calculation method (as defined in AS3959-2009) is adapted to be applied spatially. Input information required are a digital elevation model and classified vegetation data. The BAL Toolbox allows users to calculate BAL for small regions, without the need for large computational resources or for executing code in command-line environments. This will provide stakeholders with the ability to efficiently generate rigorous and robust maps of Bushfire Attack Level that adhere to the national standard, compared to products generated by manual techniques. The BAL Toolbox code is written in Python, utilising the ArcGIS "arcpy" module to enable easy reading/writing of raster data and to provide methods for a graphical user interface in the standard ArcGIS tool style. The BAL Toolbox User Guide provides users an overview of the Toolbox, instructions on installation, any customisations execution and evaluation of results.

Program PRINSAS (PRocessing and INterpretation of Small Angle Scattering data) takes raw SANS, SAXS, USANS and USAXS data, stores the data, and allows the user to further process and interpret the data. Although any small angle scattering data can be accepted, PRINSAS has been specifically designed for the processing and interpretation of SAS data for rocks and other media with a wide distribution of scatterer sizes.
