Compute Antarctic is a research group based at the University of Tasmania, investigating the processes shaping Antarctica’s ice sheets and the Earth beneath them. We combine field-based geophysical observations with advanced computational techniques to better understand Antarctic geology, glacier dynamics and the interactions between ice and the solid Earth.

Our research brings together seismology, magnetotellurics, computational modelling and data analysis to investigate Antarctica’s hidden landscapes and the processes influencing ice-sheet behaviour and change.
