GVS software Carbonate Speciation tool Screen Images of 3D models Pumicestone Passage: Presentation visuals Groundwater Visualisation System (GVS), is a versatile software package that can produce 3D visualisation of geological and hydrological systems. The 3D framework enables development of conceptual hydrogeological models. This format allows identification of temporal groundwater and surface water processes, and the time-space relationships between them. The ability to animate time-series data, interrogate and interact with the 3D model enables a greater understanding of the components, infrastructure and functions of groundwater systems. GVS is a flexible and user-friendly groundwater management tool, developed by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). GVS is easy to use and is based on open source software which can be readily redistributed. GVS models are customised for specific project requirements. Models are designed in collaboration with hydrogeologists, software developers and visualisation specialists to maximise the value of underlying data. The models developed integrate a wide range of spatial and time series data from both surface and subsurface settings. Potential application areas include:

Screen Images of 3D models Carbonate Speciation tool This spreadsheet calculates carbonate speciation using carbonate equilibrium equations at standard conditions (T=25°C) with ionic strength corrections. The user will typically be able to calculate the different carbonate species by entering total alkalinity and pH. This spreadsheet contains additional tools to calculate the Langelier Index for calcium and the SAR of the water.A feedback form must be completed prior to download.

Pumicestone Passage: Presentation visuals
What we know about the Pumicestone, Current science of the Pumicestone Passage Pumicestone Science forum, 6 April 2011 Held at Innovation Centre Auditorium, University of the Sunshine Coast. Water surface elevation Animation displaying water surface elevation as coloured contours. The lag of the southern inlet behind the northern inlet can clearly be seen as can the extensive wetting and drying occurring in the study area. View animation [Youtube video] Null point Animation presenting the four dye injection points inserted into the Pumicestone Passage. The Central Passage was chosen so the movement of the null point could be seen. Both tides can be seen entering Coochin Creek. View animation [Youtube video] Northerly movement Animation presenting two dye injection points in the northern Passage. View animation [Youtube video] Pumicestone Dye Injection Animation displaying how much larger the tidal excursions are in the southern estuary due to the large unobstructed opening and the complexity of flows within the Passage.

School of Natural Resource Sciences, QUT). Images have been enhanced and summary animations produced by Genevieve Larsen, David Warne, Joe Young and Malcolm Cox 2011.
