Earth, Atmosphere and Environment
From the red plains of Broken Hill to Antarctica, we study the Earth’s core, its atmosphere and everything in between. A new, hands-on way to explore and learn earth sciences.

Extraordinarily warm temperatures above Antarctica cause hot and dry extremes in Australia, researchers warn
Changes in springtime winds high above the South Pole are set to trigger higher than usual temperatures and fire-prone weather conditions in Australia, an international study involving Monash scientists has warned.
Monash study sheds new light on how the Earth’s crust was formed
A new international study led by a Monash geoscientist has found that more crust was formed on the early Earth than previously thought.
Global Day of Climate Action, why it matters
There is no doubt about it – climate change is one of the biggest threats to civilisation, according to Professor Andrew Mackintosh, who heads the Monash School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment (EAE).
Mathematical modelling sheds new light on how continents may have formed
Life is unique to our planet.
Or is it?
Central to this question is the emergence of plate tectonics, which transported oxygen and water from the Earth’s interior to the atmosphere and formed mountain highs and deep oceans, where life thrived.
Investigating thunderstorms to better predict when they might strike
Thunder claps, lightning bolts, wind and hail – all the opera of an ordinary thunderstorm – aren't entirely understood by climate scientists. As the planet warms, thunderstorms are expected to become more intense, but no one can say for certain how the winds will blow.

@MonashEAE is delighted to be leading the ARC #LIEF award announced this week: "Fast Disk Storage to Enable Big Data Science in Weather, Oceans and Climate". Lead by Prof Michael Reeder and including a number of #MonashEAE researchers and colleagues around Australia, this project aims to expand Australia's capacity to do computationally intensive climate, weather and oceanographic science to give us a better understanding of the climate and climate extremes.

Jonas Köpping recently gave a talk at the TSG (Tectonic Studies Group) meeting in Hull (UK). His presentation answered the question ‘What controls igneous sill segmentation?’ by having a closer look on 3D seismic reflection data from the NW shelf of Australia. ⠀

Congrats to Owen Missen, who received an AusIMM Bicentennial Gold 88 Endowment grant to present his work at the 2020 ALTA Conference in Perth. This will be a chance to promote his results on the geochemistry of tellurium, a critical metal with new uses in solar cells for example.
