Katherine River Dreaming: monsoons & history »
Dr. Matt Fischer (ANSTO) presents his recent work on the Southern Monsoon using speleothems from the Katharine River Region (Northern Territory) that span the last 17,000 years.
Sediment driven convection below river plumes: implications to deposition patterns in lakes and estuaries »
In this talk I will describe how the process of convective sedimentation could greatly increase vertically settling rates, and how this process determines that length and time-scales over which deposition can occur.
LGM-Holocene environmental change in SE Asia »
The lowland tropics of Wallacea in south-east Asia represent some of the most diverse, biogeographically significant forests globally. Long-term ecological data for this region are however scarce, making it difficult to predict vegetation response to future drivers of change.
A Memory of Ice: the Antarctic Voyage of the Glomar Challenger »
Liz will give us her highlights from her new book "A Memory of Ice: the Antarctic Voyage of the Glomar Challenger"
Rheological structure of plate boundary strike-slip faults »
The boundaries of tectonic plates cover ~15% of Earth’s surface and constitute areas of significant natural hazards, including earthquakes. As ~40% of Earth’s population lives along plate boundaries, it is critical to understand what aspects of lithospheric deformation control earthquakes in interplate settings....
