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.

UK petroleum engineering giant gifts Monash scientists access to over $2 million in geological modelling software
Monash geoscientists are set to benefit from a major donation of geological modelling software licences from the UK-based petroleum engineering and structural geology company Petroleum Experts (PetEx).
New research produces 400-year El Niño record and reveals astonishing change
Australian scientists have developed an innovative method using cores drilled from coral to produce a world first 400-year long seasonal record of El Niño events, a record that some in the field had described as impossible to extract.
New study reveals El Niño is part of an interconnected global web
We always knew that El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) had impacts around the globe, but now an international study involving Monash climate scientists suggests that global interactions also influence ENSO.
Melbourne and Adelaide night temperatures amplified by heatwaves, study finds
As if the daytime heatwave temperatures weren’t bad enough, Melbourne and Adelaide residents will also have to put up with nightly temperatures significantly higher than surrounding rural areas thanks to amplification caused by the ‘urban heat island effect’.
The largest mass extinction of all time began with forest ecosystem collapse, study finds
World-first international research involving a Monash palaeontologist has provided new new insights into what caused the biotic crisis known as the ‘Mother of all Mass-Extinctions’ or the ‘Great Dying’, in which up to 96% of marine species and 70% of land vertebrate species became extinct.

Poisonous Polonium. In July 1898, Marie Curie discovered this element; 121 years later, we revisited its geochemistry. Nice one Rahul Ram, Barbara Etschmann & Joël Brugger!

Nickel: essential for life, a contaminant at high concentrations, and economically valuable. EAE researchers Andrew Frierdich and Scarlett Southall have shown how nickel is mobilised in water and sequestered in minerals. https://loom.ly/pvLPCfs

What does a @MonashEAE third year class look like? EAE3540 students mapping geological contacts in Silverton, NSW.

Sure looks like everyone had fun at the paper writing workshop organised by the climate extremes CoE at #MonashEAE! Very artistic!
