Estimating present-day Australian vertical deformation using space geodetic techniques »
We live on a dynamic planet. Observations from seismic and geodetic techniques as well as modelling approaches inform our understanding of the deformation of the Earth’s surface.
Susan L Cutter Seminar Series: 'Black Swans' and Seismic Risk in Megacities of SE Asia »
The 21st century began with a remarkable series of great earthquakes occurring off Sumatra, starting with the 2004 Great Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami that caused over 220,00 deaths. While subsequent earthquakes were deadly, none resulted in fatalities on the massive scale of the 2004 event.
Drought, Bushfires and Climate Change: The Hot Topic »
The recent drought (2017-2019) but especially the horrific fires throughout Eastern Australia now called the Black Summer (~ August 2019-February 2020) has generated what could be called a “tipping point” in the broader Australian community discussion about climate change.
Sediment geochemistry – The Dolomite Problem »
In this seminar Bree will discuss how biogeochemical signatures recorded in sediments tell us a story about Earth surface processes, environmental perturbations and past environmental conditions.
RSES Virtual Morning Tea »
RSES is hosting a series of weekly themed morning teas
Enabling Australian planetary missions: technical pathway and science applications »
With the inauguration of Australia’s space agency the volume around all things ‘space’ has been turned up to 11. But although agencies internationally recognise that science is a fundamental enabler in their space economies, and that missions are a key element of that, that realisation has not yet occurred in Australia
The Seismic Signature of Debris Flows: Flow Mechanics and Early Warning at Montecito, California »
Debris flows are concentrated slurries of water and sediment that shape the landscape and pose a major hazard to human life and infrastructure. Seismic ground motion-based observations promise to provide new, remote constraints on debris flow physics, but the lack of data and a theoretical basis for interpreting them h
A Marine Geologist Works in Mineral Exploration & Mining: Transition from an Academic to Industry Career »
Dr. Evelyn Mervine obtained a Ph.D. in Marine Geology from the joint program between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2012.
Response of El Niño/La Niña to greenhouse warming »
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), alternating between El Niño and La Niña events, is the dominant and most consequential climate phenomenon affecting extreme weather, ecosystems, and agriculture around the world.
