EarthSci Student Soc Unimelb

The world need geoscientists more, now than ever, yet universities across Aotearoa and in Australia, wield the axe 🪓 We (geoscientists) need to get the message out to community and schools regarding the value of geoscience degrees (and the value of geoscience to our future) 🌏

Excited to be giving a @SciMelb 'Mid-Afternoon Masterclass' for @Aus_ScienceWeek on some of the ways we use volcanic rocks to tell interesting stories about our planet and our people 🪨🌋 🗓️August 15, 2 pm AEST The event is online and free! Details below👇 events.unimelb.edu.au/science/event/…

What a great week mapping Devonian stratigraphy around Buchan. Volcanics, faulting and folding, limestones and fossils - what more could you want! 😍🌋🪨🐟🐚 @scimelb @ESSSunimelb

Good opportunity for any prospective future geologists! This is at 10 am on 17 February for anyone here in Melbourne!

Thank you to Prof. Catherine Constable for her seminar this morning!

Excited for Monday’s seminar @UniMelb School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences @ESSSunimelb @UnimelbESPG 🧲 🌎 11am, McCoy building room 209

A few words on earthquake "prediction", which is again much en vogue after the horrible disaster in Turkey and Syria. I will explain why this is not a thing, really.

What’s up with the Earth’s magnetic field? Come hear Prof. Catherine Constable (@Scripps_Ocean) in Melbourne on Monday Feb 13th 11am @UniMelb @UnimelbESPG @UniMelb_SECAN @ESSSunimelb

A question for the seds people: Is there any sed structures with very low preservation potential? Are there any sed structures we see in the modern setting that we don’t see in the sed record? 🤔

Great article on research by Uni Melbs Stephen Gallagher. Turns out we don’t know much about the geology of the Twelve Apostles! @SciMelb @ESSSunimelb @UnimelbESPG The 12 Apostles are a Victorian wonder – and a global warming time capsule theage.com.au/national/victo…

Welcome to UniMelb, incoming science students! Hopefully some of you choose the earth and atmospheric sciences!

What a great day chatting the new, incoming science students! Even Keely the detection dog wanted to learn about fossils 😍 @SciMelb @ESSSunimelb @UnimelbESPG @UniMelb #scienceday1 #unimelbgeology
