This event featured presentations on potential and ongoing student research projects in Earth Sciences. Projects were targeted for students at all levels from undergraduate to PhD. Presentations were delivered by 11 academics from across the School representing groups in seismology, petrology, climate and fluid physics, geodesy, paleomagnetism and geodynamics. The projects presented involved a range of methodologies spanning fieldwork, laboratory experiments, big data analysis and sophisticated computer modeling. We welcome both current ANU students and future students to ANU to get in touch.
