Congratulations to Dr Stuart Clark (University New South Wales) for receiving funding in resource exploration

Congratulations to Dr Stuart Clark who is the recipient of around Aus$440,000 of funding which will be used to build new software aimed at improving exploration both onshore and offshore Australia. The software will be known as Kinematica, a rapid resource exploration product. The ARC said it hoped the software could become "highly commercialised" and "transfer knowledge from European industry and universities to Australia." Under the industry collaboration, Dr Clark will work with two oil and gas companies, South Australia's Santos and Norway's Lundin, as well as the University of Sydney and LMU Munich to develop and create the software which will then be applied across frontier basins, including the Canning Basin.
