Codes, guidelines, and standard practices for naming and describing Australian stratigraphic units have been discussed for more than 60 years since the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (ANZAAS) set up a Research Committee on Stratigraphic Nomenclature in 1946. Like today's Australian Stratigraphy Commission, its aims were 'to encourage the orderly use of names and definitions for stratigraphic units'. .......

Geoscience Australia will publish a new book on Australia's geology for the 34th International Geological Congress (IGC) to be held in Brisbane in 2012. Shaping a continent-building a nation: a geology of Australia will tell the story of Australia's geological evolution through the lens of human impacts - both the challenges and the opportunities presented by the 'lucky country'. The book will not attempt to be a definitive authority on all aspects of Australia's diverse geology, nor will it follow the 'traditional' time-based treatment of the topic. The main aim of the book is to showcase the excellence of Australian Geoscience and how the understanding of the unique geology has shaped the Australian continent and thus impacted the Australian people. The book will be novel in that it will integrate many disciplines of the geosciences in a systems framework to answer 'big questions' relevant to Australians. The book will be a high-quality desirable product written for the broader geoscientific community, with an enduring message relevant to society. The first two chapters will define Australia and Australians, and will set the spatial-temporal and cultural framework for the rest of the book. The following eight chapters will be arranged into themes around geological influences on society, environment and wealth, with time being the unifying dimension. This 500 page full colour book will be a hard backed book at A4-plus size. Full use will be made of the beauty of the visual images of Australia's geology to illustrate our message. The theme of the 34th IGC meeting is 'Unearthing our Past and Future'. This book will make a significant contribution to this theme in presenting Australia's unique geology in a new light.
