CCFS web resources provide information on background, research and downloadable files of the Annual Report and Research Highlights. 

Links to the GEMOC website (http://www.gemoc.mq.edu.au/) provide past GEMOC Annual Reports, updated details on its methods, new analytical advances and software updates (GLITTER), activities of research teams within GEMOC, synthesised summaries of selected research outcomes and items for secondary school resources. 

Links to the CET (Centre for Exploration Targeting) website (http://www.cet.edu.au/) provide access to wider information about CET activities beyond its involvement in CCFS and especially the wide base of end-user interaction.

Links to The Institute for Geoscience Research (TiGer) website (http://tiger.curtin.edu.au/) provide information about their facilities, participants and research activities. 

Strong industry interaction in CCFS in 2021 ranged from presentations to specific industry groups in their offices to numerous formal and informal workshops at CET and GEMOC, and invited and plenary presentations at peak industry symposia, workshops and conferences nationally and internationally.
 

CCFS publications for 2021 are given in Appendix 3

The 106 CCFS publications that were published in 2021 are predominantly in high-impact international journals (Thomson ISI); the remainder are in outlets targeted to specific stakeholders (e.g. Australian Journal of Earth Sciences, Economic Geology).

VISITORS

CCFS fosters links nationally and internationally through visits of collaborators to undertake defined short-term projects, or short-term visits to give lectures and seminar sessions. Formal collaborative arrangements are facilitated by partnerships in grants with reciprocal funding from international collaborators. The global COVID-19 pandemic left little opportunity for face to face interaction in 2021. Despite these difficulties, collaboration continued remotely via video conferencing and webinars. They have participated in collaborative research, technology exchange, seminars, discussions and joint publications and collaboration in postgraduate programs. For More information see the section on International Links.
