Went hiking though the mountains. Came across a piece of quartz that looked foreign to the region. Dug it out of the trail and to my delight it had a specimen number glued to it. WHAT LEGEND IS TAKING THEIR ROCK COLLECTION FOR A WALK!?

Ahhhh-mazing geology tour in & around Parliament House by @VeetheRockChick & Joe @GeoscienceAus for #SMP2023
You would think with all these impressive rocks surrounding our policymakers, that enabling the Earth sciences would be higher on the national agenda ;p
Our role is much more than studying rocks & minerals.
From earthquake monitoring & earth observation to uncovering the low-emission fuels of our future, Earth sciences impacts the lives of all Australians.

Hey Google, what is glass made of and how is it created in the natural world? Our new digital exhibition – Glass: the old, the new, the natural, has all the answers 👉 https://t.co/xT0gNehVJ8!
#ScienceWeek
National Science Week (13 - 21 August) is Australia’s annual celebration of science & technology! Our Academy of Future Skills has worked with the Geoscience Australia Education Program to explore this year’s theme of glass. Watch the full vid: https://t.co/uWvaTfiPST.
Join us for our National #ScienceWeek public talk! We'll explore how dramatic natural events like lightning strikes, volcanic eruptions & meteorite impacts can produce glass. We find beautiful evidence of this here on Earth, & on the Moon 🔍 https://t.co/EILPrC83Vx! [11am 17 Aug]
The latest report on what we can do about climate change is here. There is a way out of the worst of this mess, but we must act now. #climatechangeaction#IPCCreport

The Mansfield VIC earthquake has been adjusted to 5.9 (Mw). A 4.0 (Mw) aftershock was recorded 15 minutes after the initial event. GA senior seismologist Jonathan Bathgate says that frequent aftershocks may be felt across SE 🇦🇺. Fill a felt report.👉 https://t.co/7FHfgUNeR6
