<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>

CAML is a five year International Program which will be undertaken as a major activity during the International Polar Year. This project will bring together all known data on Antarctic marine biodiversity and ocean change. The Antarctic Ocean is one of the most sensitive ecosystems in the world. Research undertaken via CAML will produce fascinating images of the Southern Ocean Geoscience Australia's Marine and Coastal Group is contributing expertise in sea floor mapping and sediment core collection to CAML. The Australian Government Antarctic Division is collecting oceanographic data, video footage and sediment cores through hot-water drill holes in the Amery Ice Shelf. The sediment cores are collected using a corer designed and built by Geoscience Australia, and are being analysed by scientists at Geoscience Australia to understand the environmental history beneath this ice shelf. This project has now produced four cores. The only other core ever obtained from beneath an extant ice shelf from under the Ross Ice Shelf in the early 1970s showed no signs of life. However, several Amery cores contain diatom-rich sediments, and one contains a succession of benthic faunas that indicate progressive colonisation of the sub-ice sea floor as ice retreated and currents began to seep nutrients and plankton into the sub-ice shelf cavity.

This bulk set comprises 10 sets of 5 image cards. The cards are the same as the single set of cards included in both the Discovering Remote Sensing kit and each student manual in the Discovering Remote Sensing bulk set (purchased separately). The image cards are used with the student activitities in each of the latter two Remote Sensing resources. Suitable for secondary years 8-12

This product includes the remote sensing information booklet + student activities + one set of five A4 image cards. Discovering Remote Sensing - an introduction does not contain any overhead projection images. Suitable for secondary Years 8-12.

This booklet focuses on volcanoes, their formation process, types, shapes, locations and effects on their surroundings. Significant volcano events around the world are covered, and special emphasis is placed on the Australian volcanic landscape. Student activities included. Recommended for Years 6 and 9.

This bulk set comprises 10 copies of the Rockhampton River 1:100 000 topographic map and 10 copies of the Jacobs River 1:100 000 topographic map. These are the same maps that are included in the Topographic Map kit, catalogue item # 23002. The maps can also be used with the bulk set of 10 Topographic Map student manuals (catalogue item 30836) and the Introduction to Topographic Maps (catalogue item 23001). Suitable for secondary years 7-12.

The Gold Rush Technology image set comprises 15 images and accompanying text that includes background information and descriptions of each image. The images depict methods used by Gold Rush miners, from simple alluvial panning to underground mining. The resource also includes modern gold exploration methods using geology and geophysics techniques. Possible student question/s for each slide are provided. Suitable for primary levels Years 5-6 and secondary levels Years 7-8

This resource describes natural and human-induced processes affecting coasts, provides background information on erosional and depositional coastlines and includes a special section on estuaries. Reproducible activities develop student understanding of key concepts such as longshore drift, sea level change and estuary analysis. The booklet contains a Gold Coast case study of human impact on a coastal area. Attached is a CD-ROM containing many different images of coastal formations that may be used in a classroom. - 47 page booklet - 9 student activities - suggested answers - accompanying CD-ROM of images Suitable for secondary Years 7-10

Australia through Time charts the history of Australia from a geological perspective. Explore the evolution of life, palaeogeography, sea levels, climate change and Australia's major mineral deposits. The geological time scale is based on A Geological Time Scale 2004 Gradstein Ogg & Smith. Downloads are available in a number of formats. Alternatively, you can download a complete A1 version, in 4 x A3 sections.
