<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>

These videos are recordings of online secondary teacher professional learning sessions, delivered by Geoscience Australia’s Education Team. “Can I Fall Down the Cracks?” Plate Tectonic Misconceptions Part 1 This session focused on common misconceptions that are encountered when teaching plate tectonics. The student misconceptions addressed are: 1. We can’t see the tectonic plates (starting at 5:35) 2. The mantle is made of liquid rock (starting at 11:25) 3. The plates move by convection in the mantle (starting at 17:35) 4. When plates collide one always goes under the other (starting at 22:15) 57 minutes total duration, with Q&A with an expert scientist starting at 34 minutes. “Can I Fall Down the Cracks?” Plate Tectonic Misconceptions Part 2 This session focused on common misconceptions that are encountered when teaching hazards associated with plate tectonics. The student misconceptions addressed are: 1. Earthquakes are measured using the Richter scale (starting at 3:15) 2. The magnitude of an earthquake depends on how far away it is (starting at 7:20) 3. Earthquakes can be predicted (starting at 10:52) This section includes a description of Raspberry Shake equipment: low cost earthquake monitoring for the classroom 4. There are no volcanoes in Australia (starting at 18:25) 5. You can surf a tsunami (starting at 24:17) 51 minutes total duration, with Q&A with an expert scientist starting at 37 minutes.

The Land Air Marine Access team have developed a Best Practice Standards approach to land, air and marine access and stakeholder engagement to protect Geoscience Australia's social licence and maximise the benefits of our science outcomes.

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.

This video is a flythrough around the coast of Australia shows the major topographic features of the seafloor around the continent. Starting in the south west the viewer can see the continental shelf and slope of the southern coast followed by the seamount chains and the Great Barrier Reef to the east. Continuing around the north then west coast the eastern end of the Java Trench is shown before returning to Perth and pulling out to show the whole continent. The bathymetry is shown at x12 exaggeration and uses a modern colour ramp. Video length 2min 30 sec.

World elevation map that shows the shape of the major tectonic plates. Physical print in colour for giveaway. When completed the 'Tectonic Plates Jigsaw Puzzle' will fit on a desk. Suitable for primary Years 5-6 and secondary Years 7-12.

Promotional Video designed to highlight the appeal of the Geological TimeWalk and attract visitors to Geoscience Australia, featuring GA Chief Scientist Dr. Steve Hill.

This collection of documents detail various field techniques and processes that GA conduct. They are in conjunction with a series of Field Activity Technique Engagement Animations. The target audience are the communities that are impacted by our data acquisition activities. Field techniques in this collection include; • AEM fixed wing • AEM Helicopter • Borehole Geophysics • Goundwater sampling • Magnetotelluric (MT) surveys • Passive seismic surveys • Rapid Deployment Kits (RDKs) • Reflection seismic surveys • Surface Magnetic Resonance (SMR) surveys • Stratigraphic drilling

Flyer for year 9 students promoting careers in geoscience

<div>This A1 poster aims to introduce Year 3/4 and older students to the many ways that minerals and elements are used in our everyday lives. </div><div>&nbsp;6 key uses of 14 critical and strategic minerals are highlighted by colourful lines linking images. Students should take their time viewing the poster; they can follow the wiggly lines from minerals to product or vice versa and work out how many minerals link to each type of use.</div><div>&nbsp;The poster is also suitable for secondary students with the inclusion of a specific element name with each highlighted mineral plus the element symbol and atomic number.</div><div>&nbsp;The poster is intended to be a colourful rich stimulus to engage student interest in the resources from the ground used in our modern world.</div><div><br></div>
