<div>The A1 poster incorporates 4 images of Australia taken from space by Earth observing satellites. The accompanying text briefly introduces sensors and the bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. The images include examples of both true and false colour and the diverse range of applications of satellite images such as tracking visible changes to the Earth’s surface like crop growth, bushfires, coastal changes and floods. Scientists, land and emergency managers use satellite images to analyse vegetation, surface water or human activities as well as evaluate natural&nbsp;hazards.</div>

This activity introduces the concepts of weathering and erosion by investigating why river pebbles are often rounded. The download includes background information for teachers and an activity sheet for students. The activity demonstrates the process of erosion using sugar cubes. Participants are asked to predict what might happen (a hypothesis) and then observe what does happen and relate this to the natural environment. A supporting video is available from YouTube.

Article for the Australian Journal of Emergency Management (AJEM), October 2019 ed. Lead authors were Department of Fire and Emergency Services (WA), co-authored by GA. This article includes discussion of how GA's data and products - specifically felt report data and trial ShakeMap and Did-You-Feel-It products were used by DFES in the days following the Magnitude 6.6 earthquake which occurred 210km offshore from Broome, WA, on 14 July 2019. The data and products contributed to DFES' understanding of what local communities experienced, how they responded, and the extent of building and infrastructure damage caused by the earthquake. This understanding will contribute to DFES' community awareness programs focusing on safety and preparedness, and to DFES' own response and recovery planning.

In 1969, an explosive shower of meteorites fell outside the town of Murchison in country Victoria. Containing organic material as well as space dust grains older than the solar system, the Murchison Meteorite has become one of the most studied meteorites and a treasure trove for science. Hear about an eye-witness account of its fall to Earth and see samples of the meteorite in the National Mineral and Fossil Collection at Geoscience Australia.
