AuScope was designed to put Australia at the forefront of international geoscience and geospatial research and to create geoscience applications for the next generation. Its aim was to assist in building Australia's wealth through improved and sustainable discovery, development and management of our minerals, energy and groundwater assets. It provides a step-change in our ability to spatially map Australia's location and internal deformation, in particular enhancing our ability to contribute to natural hazard prediction and management, both here and for our immediate neighbours.
