<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>

Educational booklet series on the hazards of East New Britain, Papua New Guinea: tsunamis, earthquakes & volcanoes

Teaching notes and 30 copies of Digital Elevation Image of Australia in A4 size. The DEM was compiled in 1997 by P.R. Miligan, T.E. Mackey, M.P. Morse and G. Bernadel. The teaching notes and activities, developed by AGSO's Geoscience Awareness Unit, allow teachers to introduce this modern topographical tool to students.

These Crystal Models are part of the Exploring Minerals and Crystals booklet and can be used to explore crystal shapes in high school and college geology. They can also be used independently to discuss three dimensional shapes in primary school mathematics.

The Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM) is a statistical-parametric model of tropical cyclone behaviour and effects. A statistical model is used to generate synthetic tropical cyclone events. This is then combined with a parametric wind field model to produce estimates of cyclonic wind hazard.

Shelled nautiloids have been extinct for 100 million years but students can create their own in 3D with a class set of 30 paper models, ready to cut out and assemble into 3D paper nautiloids. Suitable for primary level Years 5-6 and secondary level Years 7-10.

A simple to scale geological timescale suitable for printing at A4 size and displaying on the wall of a classroom. Activities that utilise this timescale are explained in a separate document. The geological timescale is one of the major achievements of geoscience over the last two centuries. The timescale subdivides the 4.6 billion years since the planet formed into a series of time units (e.g. Jurassic). Rocks and particularly the fossils within them have been compared across the world to work out their age relative to each other. This information has been calibrated against an absolute ages of rocks are usually calculated by measuring the natural radioactive decay of minerals. The international standard timescale allows geoscientists to determine the ages of events in Earth history and so understand the evolution of the planet from its formation to the present day.

Discussion of available stratigraphic resources: the Australian Stratigraphic Units Database (ASUD); documentation of procedures for modifying existing units or establishing new ones; contact details for the Australian Stratigraphy Commission members and ASUD staff. Suggestions on ways of raising awareness through modern media such as a podcast or app, and a request for feedback on what sort of approach might appeal to a university student audience.
