Underworld

a long term geodynamics simulation platform

About Us

Underworld is software infrastructure developed and maintained by the Monash University Geodynamics and VPAC partnership. This activity is largely funded by the AuScope Simulation & Modelling Victoria project, and operated out of our facility at Monash Univeristy.

AuScope is an Australian government funded initiative to facilitate better research through infrastructure investments.
