Call for Expressions of Interest – ACCESS-NRI Visualisation Project

Call for Expressions of Interest – ACCESS-NRI Visualisation Project

ACCESS-NRI is inviting expressions of interest from domain experts and researchers who would like to collaborate on a 3-month visualisation project. We’re offering technical support and expert guidance to help you bring your science to life.

We encourage bold, creative ideas that explore new ways to visualise ACCESS model outputs. It could be a compelling snapshot of climate change impacts, a journey through the ocean’s depths, or a flyover of modelled land surface processes. Be ambitious!

This is your chance to create high-impact visuals (animations, videos, or 3D still images) that showcase your research and amplify its visibility across media, conferences, and the broader community. Successful projects will be supported by:

  • Owen Kaluza, visualisation expert at ACCESS-NRI:
    Owen is developing high-impact visualisations to better communicate the work done with ACCESS models and data. His work spans 3D graphics (OpenGL), GPU programming, Python, and notebook-based tools.

  • The ACCESS-NRI Engagement and Communications team, offering guidance on science communication and media promotion.
