Hands-on experiments explore the details of thermochemical convection. Build your own Lava Lamp and learn why the continents don't get sucked down into the deep Earth.

If we were lucky to travel to the Earth’s centre, perhaps as part of an international crew of terranauts chosen to observe and investigate our planet’s interior… just before entering the molten core, we would insist on making a “must stop” of our journey, almost like one of those vista points you can’t resist making a stop at, cruising along some imaginary coastal highway.

In these one-dimensional (1D) models, the Earth (or, as a matter of fact, any other planet) is divided into kilometres thick spherical layers, just like an onion on a much smaller scale

ARC Chief Executive Officer, Professor Sue Thomas, has welcomed the approval by the Minister for Education and Youth, the Hon Alan Tudge MP of $83 million in funding through the ARC’s Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) scheme.

Australian earthquakes pose a high consequence – low likelihood risk that is widespread across the continent but is often not well characterised for some of Australia’s most important infrastructure.

Members of the National Committee for Earth Sciences of the Australian Academy of Science are deeply concerned by the systematic reduction in staff members in geosciences departments over the last year in Australia.

The transition to a low-carbon / below-zero-emissions future presents many challenges for the industries "behind the scenes" that provide the raw materials for the innovative technical solutions that will become a part of our everyday lives.

One hundred researchers will receive Australian Government funding to focus on finding solutions for key industry challenges and training the next generation of researchers under the ARC Future Fellowships scheme.

AuScope is building Australia’s Downward Looking Telescope, a sophisticated and integrated research infrastructure system that helps researchers address national decadal geoscience challenges. Here is all you need to know about the DLT.

Seismic waves are being recorded in more detail than ever before. In this latest collaboration with the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN), researchers from The ANU and AuScope’s Earth Imaging and Sounding Program explain Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) infrastructure .

A team of Australian researchers are about to set off on a landmark voyage to discover more about the Earth beneath our oceans, and what triggers underwater earthquakes. Read live updates of the cruise as they go — both personal reflections and scientific background to the cruise.
