… 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.
