Geology @ ANU 60th Reunion »
Join us to celebrate the past, present and future of Geoscience at ANU This September come and celebrate our 60th Anniversary with our incredible alumni, current students and researchers. This event is about giving our alumni the chance to revisit campus, see the many changes, reunite with colleagues...
Early-warning signals for abrupt ocean deoxygenation: What can we learn from XRF-core-scan records of sedimentary trace metals? »
Rick Hennekam (NIOZ) tells us about novel application of XRF-core scanning to unravel deoxygenation events recorded in the sedimentary record using examples from the eastern Mediterranean basin.
Reconstructing monsoon-driven surface water mixing from Southeast Asian corals »
Sujata Murty (WHOI) will present coral-derived records of sea surface salinity and ocean circulation to examine the role of the East Asian Winter Monsoon (EAWM) in surface water mixing variability throughout the Makassar and Lombok Straits.
Gulf Stream intensification after the early Pliocene shoaling of the Central American Seaway »
Alexandra Auderset (Max Planck Institute for Chemistry) will tell us about her PhD research into the intensification of the Gulf Stream following the shoaling of the Central American Seaway during the Pliocene.
Remote sensing of the elastic properties of solids: a journey from seismology to laser ultrasound (and back) »
Dr van Wijk of the University of Auckland presents a variety of techniques for determining the properties of solids.
Cosmogenic 10Be and paleomagnetic records of the Earth’s magnetic field history : news and views. »
Cosmogenic Be records provide a second technique for determining the strength of Earth's magnetic field. Intercomparison of results from Be analysis and traditional measurement of paleomagnetic intensity provide insights into the accuracy of the geomagnetic record and the evolution of Earth's magnetic field.
A Royal Australian Navy perspective on operational oceanography »
This presentation will focus on showing Scott's experience on operational oceanography as a METOC in the Navy.
Lies, damned lies, and palaeomagnetic statistics »
Dave will take us on a palaeomagnetic statistics journey that links Elizabeth I of England, Edmond Halley, ANU's role in the plate tectonic revolution, pizza margarita and Dolly Parton... as well as discussing the future of palaeomagnetic inference.

Formation of the early continental lithosphere - the message from non-traditional stable isotopes »
Luc Doucet presents his work on analysing metal isotope ratios as a powerful technique for constraining lithospheric evolution in the deep geological past.
