Read MoreIn September 2021, AuScope, CSIRO, and Geoscience Australia supported an Indigenous-led workshop titled Ancient Rocks, Ancient Culture And You to explore how the Australian geoscience community can be more inclusive of Indigenous Australians in geoscientific programs.
Read MoreHow can the Australian geoscience research community be more inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in designing, undertaking, and reflecting on Australian geoscientific programs for mutual and environmental benefit? Join us for an Indigenous-led workshop in September to explore this question together!
Read MoreToday is World Hoodie Day, a time to celebrate young First Nations creativity and to consider ways we can all ‘make space’ in unexpected, necessary and valuable ways to help alleviate educational inequality in Australia. AuScope is proud to support the inspiring ideators of today’s initiative from AIME.
Let’s make space!
The earth shook around Lilydale District School in Tasmania on the 23rd of June 2021 as students jumped into a geoscience workshop with Dr Sima Mousavi from our Auscope Seismometers in Schools (AuSIS) program. The focus: checking in with the NCRIS enabled seismometer down the hall, which is capable of detecting large earthquakes around the world, from New Zealand to Mexico!
Read MoreIn March, five geoscientists from AuScope’s community attended Science Meets Parliament (SmP), an event that connects scientists with politicians to help raise awareness of why science is so important for Australia’s future. Here, our representatives share their reflections.
Read MoreHappy #EarthScienceWeek! To celebrate, we explore the joys, importance, misconceptions, and future of Earth Science in this series of videos with Dr Jess Stromberg from CSIRO and Dr Sima Mousavi from The Australian National University.
Read MoreRecently, AuScope invested in a suite of Large-N or nodal seismometers, which are capable of recording seismic noise at local-, rather than regional-, scale, allowing seismologists to focus on imaging geological features like faults and aquifers.
Read MoreTo celebrate National Science Week, we connect creatives at TERRAIN and Girl On Road with leading geoscience researchers Prof Dietmar Müller, Dr Maria Seton and Dr Adriana Dutkiewicz from The University of Sydney to discuss our human connection with earth systems, and GPlates’ new residence in the Directory.
Read MoreA few weeks ago a sonic boom was captured by an NCRIS enabled seismometer at St Joseph's College in Albany, Western Australia. A few lucky locals even witnessed the light show and explosion. The cause? A meteor exploding as it collided with the Earth’s atmosphere. Dr. Michelle Salmon from the Australian National University explains.
