Seismological data are used for a variety of purposes, from earthquake hazard zonation to mapping Earth structure and mineral resource exploration. The immense volumes of seismic data now available challenge the application of routine seismic analysis techniques using existing tools. These tools fail to take advantage of recent advances in computing hardware and data formats. Given the scale of data to process and the computational complexity of algorithms involved, a more efficient approach that scales on high-performance computing and data (HPC-HPD) platforms is needed. In addition, different agencies have tended to use bespoke and ad hoc data formats, data curation processes and quality standards, hindering large-scale analyses and modelling. High-performance seismological tools (HiPerSeis) facilitate the transformation of source seismological data into formats geared towards HPC-HPD platforms. HiPerSeis also implements optimised seismological workflows that can be run at large scale on HPC-HPD platforms. <b>Citation:</b> Hassan, R., Hejrani, B., Medlin, A., Gorbatov, A. and Zhang, F., 2020.

GA is creating an Open Source Project called iSentinel, which enables iOS devices (iPAD) to display GA's bushfire hotspots information on the devices. The software is client application consuming WMS and WFS provided by GA sentinel servers.
