3D-GEO is an Industry member of the Basin Genesis Research Hub, composed of a consortium of Universities, developing cutting-edge numerical modelling tools with the aim of improving the understanding of the formation and evolution of basins, through the coupling of the evolution of mantle flow, crustal deformation, erosion and sedimentary processes. The NWShelf and PNG foldbelt are test areas for the modelling.
3D-GEO has also sponsored several undergraduate and post-graduate research studies. The current PhD being supported is the Quantitative analysis of Slope Channel Systems in Chile and Mexico, at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.3D-GEO has also employed and mentored numerous University geoscience students over the past 20 years.
