• The Great Australian Tilt with Dr Sabin Zahirovic [Part 2]

  Welcome to another cracking geological conversation with Dr Sabin Zahirovic (or should we say, welcome to today's episode of 'what is Sabin 3D printing today'....!!??!!) Here we explore the great Australian tilt, what the mantle has to do with it, and what this continental tilt has meant for the natural evolution of our country. Sabin continues to show us some unbelievable data visualisations that reconstruct the deep Earth through deep time - you won't want to miss the video for this episode!Huge thank you to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Geological Society of Australia⁠⁠⁠⁠ for making this episode of Wonder possible.

• Pangea with Dr Sabin Zahirovic [Part 1]

  Ever noticed that the coastlines of Africa and South America match up like perfect puzzle pieces? Turns out we need to investigate Earth's youngest supercontinent, Pangea, to explain that one! In this episode of Wonder we're joined by the brilliant Dr Sabin Zahirovic, who shows us some mindblowing visual reconstructions of the Pangean supercontinent and the geologic mega-events that rippled through the earth system during its time. Thank you Sabin!!!!!Huge thank you to the ⁠⁠⁠Geological Society of Australia⁠⁠⁠ for making this episode of Wonder possible.

• The Rock Blocks that Built Australia with Professor Pete Betts

  Welcome to the ultimate deep time exploration Down Under! With Professor Pete Betts from Monash University, Holly & Anthony imagine the Australian continent as a geologic mosaic of stone. We ask about the origins of these cratonic blocks, and how they came together to form the Australian jigsaw we know and love today. Prof Betts walks us through it all, from missing ocean basins to that time he sticky-taped together the continent...(And a bonus scoop: he even shares the goss on what new ideas can look and feel like at the frontlines of science). We hope you enjoy our conversation!Huge thank you to the ⁠⁠Geological Society of Australia⁠⁠ for making this episode of Wonder possible.

• Hawaii's Lava Fountains with Dr Abigail Nalesnik

  Welcome to Kīlauea, one of the planet's most active volcanoes in the heart of Hawaii. You've likely seen its incredible lava fountains and ongoing eruptions in the news, or all over your social feeds ... Well, on today's show, we crossed live to geochemist and volcanologist Dr Abigail Nalesnik to talk everything Hawaiian volcanoes. What's up with lava fountains?? What do eruptions sound like (obvious hint: not what you might think)?? Why is Hawaii actually erupting at all??? To top it all off, we couldn't figure out what's cooler: that Abigail has literally just completed her PhD on Kīlauea's explosive eruptions, or, that she's voluntarily dangled from helicopters and descended solo into the depths of Hawaii's volcanic craters...You can find Abigail her stunning volcano content @volcano.abFind us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thegeoco.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're on Instagram! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thegeoco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Got questions?
