The Curtin Reservoir Geophysics Consortium (CRGC) was founded in 1998 and is the first industrial consortium in the Southern Hemisphere directed at research in Exploration Geophysics.  
The Centre for High Definition Geophysics (CHDG) was established in 2006 with State funding through the Centres of Excellence in Science and Innovation program and is investigating how seismic technologies can detect mineral resources such as gold, base metals and coal and also locate underground water reserves.  
  The Centre for Rock Characterization (CRC) brings together prominent research groups who have a proven track record of local and international success and focuses on joint research and the development of synergies in overlapping areas between mining engineering, geophysics, and reservoir engineering. .
