Dietmar Müller Elected to Australian Academy of Science

Professor Dietmar Müller, Director of Sydney Informatics Hub, has been elected as a Fellow to the Australian Academy of Science. He is a world-leading authority on geophysics – the study of the interior of the Earth - and leads the EarthByte research group. Read how Dietmar has made a profound contribution to understanding solid Earth processes by merging conventional geological and geophysical data into global digital data sets, and by coupling global tectonic models with kinematic and dynamic process models.

“Dietmar Müller has made a profound contribution to understanding solid Earth processes by merging conventional geological and geophysical data into global digital data sets, and by coupling global tectonic models with kinematic and dynamic process models. He was one of the first to recognize that traditional geoscience, which is data rich and information poor, could exploit the enormous potential of open source software and digital databases for developing 4D geodata synthesis through space and time.”
