Earth Science Showcase
The Geological Society of Australia is seeking to promote Earth Science and careers in Earth Science to the Australian public and most importantly students. Please assist us to do this by mentioning in any interviews or articles that this story is part of the Geological Society of Australia’s Earth Science Showcase. Members of the public interested in subscribing to this free service to receive regular media releases on Earth Science research can do so by emailing mediasubscribe@gsa.org.au with the following details: preferred email address, name, state, age (optional), organisation (if any) and phone number (to assist with clarification of email details if required). Please also mention that the Society’s website, www.gsa.org.au, is a good source of information on Earth Science.
