Fossil bone tissue provides new insights into the lives of Australia’s polar dinosaurs
Research involving two Monash palaeontologists has produced the first life history reconstructions of the small plant-eating dinosaurs from Victoria, Australia.
Nuclear technology unlocks 50-million-year-old time capsules
A scientific analysis of fossilised tree resin has caused a rethink of Australia’s prehistoric ecosystem, and could pave the way to recovering more preserved palaeobiological artefacts from the time of dinosaurs or prehistoric mammals.
Volcanoes: forecasting eruptions an inexact science
Volcanoes are majestic in appearance and the largest mountains on our planet. Measured from the seafloor, Hawaii’s Big Island is taller than Mt Everest. From the tropical islands of Hawaii to the snow-covered, iconic peaks at Mt Fuji, Mt Ruhapehu or Mt. Kilimanjaro, the fire-spitting mountains have a spiritual connection with those who settled on their flanks for thousands of years.
Mining’s new fly-in fly-out workers
Artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced vision systems and drone-building are redefining one of the oldest sciences – geology.
Early global greenhouse event gave rise to fire-adapted trees
Conifers that were living at the South Pole show an extreme adaptation to forest fires.
